WE've known about that for about the past 6 months in the electric forum... Think you could post your finished project there?

My frend did the exact thing last year. He had almost hte same set up as you but he had moab xls and he used hv maxx engins. So muc power that the second you hit the throttle it would flip over. Get soem hv maxx engins, i know they are expensive but they are worth it!

If I was you guys, I would wait on getting these expensive conversions. Did you notce Traxxas upgraded all there Nitro Trucks, and then all the electric ones too EXCEPT FOR THE E-MAXX. hmmm maybe something else is gonna replace it.

the rolling chassis at rc-monster.com comes with x-brace chassis kit, front and rear revo suspensions, gmaxx single speed tranny conversion, emaxx motor mount, and front/rear bumpers. for an awesome truck, just add a brushless motor and controller, servo, ubec, steel idler, and some batteries! i run this conversion from rc-monster and it bashes good and races really good. worth every penny!

and its jato , not jawt o.
Its pronounced Jay-Toe, the name comes from the military's Jato missiles, which are extremely fast for their size, hence the jato is fast.

why would u ruin a perfectly good revo by making it ELECTRIC
Faster, better acceleration, more torque, more tuning options. Shall I continue?

...I agree that GorillaMaxx is very overpriced but its all rational whether or not you agree on the value...

...I prefer EP to GP...But they do both have their pro's and cons...Maybe EP is GP for dummies? lol...

...Of course everyone could solve ALL their problems and just go and get an EZILLA Right Inverted? lol...

lol, been a little short in the CASH department big man.

Lol, HV MAXX, try the mamba MAXX
The mamba maxx would suck in an E-revo, its only a 540 size and can only handle 12 cells. The mamba monster maxx would work, but it would still be no plettenberg.
