I’ll have to make a bracket extension for the dig if I run the fusion, which I’m not going to do. I have to keep the motor facing to the rear because of that unfortunately. There is just enough room for the battery mount sideways right in front of the 3 gear though. For now I’m going to run the puller pro stubby, the micro x and the direct power HH servo on the axel. I do plan on a motor upgrade later. Any ideas for a deep offset wheel so I don’t rub my shocks and the chassis rails, And any insight on link placement to the chassis? I’ve been studying up but there’s so much information. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

I like SSD wheels because they give you the measurements you need for their wheels on their website. They also sell extended hubs you can use to move your wheels out. You can also use Vanquish hubs with them. Not sure about about link placement for that Chassis but I usually like the upper rear links higher towards the trans. I think I am finding having my upper links shorter is more stable? Last edited by MOguy; 11-29-2021 at 05:54 AM. | |

I was contemplating a revolver. Are they really that much better than a puller? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

YES…….. so smooth and never seems to stop pulling. I’ve got two PullerPro’s 2700 and 3500. They are incredible motors power wise, and definitely smooth. Then I dropped a 2200 revolver and was amazed at the difference. Only complaints are from those with tender ears, BUT the new esc solved that. Hang up and Drive | |

What about water though. If they get wet are they toast? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

It's not so much the water messing things up as it is the grit/grime that might be in the water. If it's crystal clear water, I wouldn't sweat it. If it's diarrhea looking grinding compound, I'd definitely not run an open-can motor in that! Anything in between those 2 will just require a bit of common sense, and maybe a sprinkle of luck. I generally avoid mud, so the worst I've run my Revolver in was wet grass, or in the rain on the rocks (no mud.)

considering how basic and how easy it is to disasemble and clean a outrunner i dont see why it couldent be ran under any condition even soupy mud even my $3 outrunner has sealed bearing and there real easy to get to and replace if they go bad other than that there isent much that can go wrong with a outrunner i run all mine in loose sand and graval and havent picked up anything in the motor yet remeber its just as easy for crud to get out as it is for it to get in i think that brushed motors take more of a beating in the mud and crud than a outrunners |

So the revolver 540 as team spec is in the rig, but the wires are not labeled or color coded like they are on the esc. How do I figure out which goes where? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

| Re: Ground up! The revolver is not sensored. so plug the three wires into any motor plug on the esc, and run it. If it runs in reverse, switch any two wires.

| Re: Ground up! Put the middle one off the motor in the middle of the ESC and plug the other two in either way. You want the green lite on the ESC on for forward and the Red for reverse. If you don't have lights or have different colors you want it faster going forward then reverse.

Update. F-bomb is like 90%. Thank you everyone for all your help. I don’t think I could have done it without you. Now I have to add some frame spacers. Take it all apart and loktite everything the do some more trimming on the body and paint it. That battery was just for programming. The 850mah are on the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Ground up! And this is what happens when you run a HH 540 SS revolver with a stock axial spool. Shredded my treal overdrive gears after it sheared the 3 bolts…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
