That sounds like a great place to start for 3s lipo use.

Thanks!I will be ordering later today.

got mine in, this thing is small!!
i love it!

How much would i be limiting this motor going with a 1600 8 cell vs a 3s lipo. What capacity and discharge rate should I get in a 3s?

I would recommend a 2100 15C pack for the average user who may be thrashing hard. You can get away with as little as a 1500 15C pack. You won't be limiting it much, but the wheelspeed and punch won't be as strong.

Do I need to upgrade to the Outrunner motor plate for the Axila kit or has that been upgraded since the "Live build"?

No thats for small aiplane outrunners that normaly need a adapter plate.
The revolver black has the same bot pattern as normal brushed 540 can motors"thumbsup"
Bolt on ;-)l

I am totally new to crawling (I don't even have a crawler yet) but not new to brushless. I was thinking of an axial AX10 with the revolver motor and sidewinder esc. Will I be happy with the power from the revolver or would you recommend the crawlmaster? The regular crawlmaster seems a little better built and is only $10 more (out of stock though). What gearing should I use for this? Using the speed calculator it looks like with the stock 87t spur it would take a 25 tooth pinion to hit 6 mph with a 3s lipo. Does that sound about correct?

I would use the Revolver, and use a 12t pinion. The Crawlmaster has a bit more power, but it is hard to get proper gearing on an AX10 without some dremel work sometimes. 6mph on 3s lipo, you shouldn't need such a large pinion.

If you plan on competing, you may want to use a brushed motor first. If you plan on just having fun and tooling around an outrunner is a good choice for worry free running.

I'm not planning on any competition at all I am just looking for a change of pace and something to play with in situations where I cannot use something like an E-Maxx or an electric converted Losi 8ight-t. I got the gearing info using a speed calculator from RCMonster.com but I am sure I got my numbers mixed up.

Right now I have a 2100mah lipo and 2 -5000mah lipos both are only 2s though, for the short term would they be good to use? Also with the 8 cell 1500mah saddle packs you have how much run time can I expect? Thanks!

??? Are brushed motors better for a comp rig than an outrunner like the revolver?

So I just got one of these from a mate and want know what pinion to use. I'm running a 3s1p 2000Mah LiPo and an R2D on a Mamba Max.

Just sent payment for a black revolver.

Just got a small batch of special run motors in. These are slightly longer and heavier, with 25% more torque than the original motors. I kept getting bugged to have some on hand, so here you guys go! http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...7&cat=0&page=1

They are still sensorless, but make great motors for when you don't want to mess with any maintenance. Same price as original!

Awesome! Was just thinking I'd like to have the original version for my tlt. Guess its time to go to the bank8)

I am fishing around for a motor for my GMade R1 and found this Revolver.
Buggy here. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/g-made-crawlers/250676-shanes-gmade-r1-rock-buggy-build.html

I am not familiar with these types of motors. What turn or kv do they rate at?
Also, would this motor work on a Tekin Fx-R?

I am going for a higher speed crawler/basher. Probably 30% crawl, 70% heavy throttling.
Right now I am running a 35T with a 12t pinion (R1 stocker) on 11.1v and it is about 40:1, I believe.
Or if you have a recommended motor/esc combo, do tell. The HH larger 540 motors will not fit in the chassis, the endbell hits part of the chassis, so it needs to be a smaller motor.
Thanks for any help.

It is a brushless motor, so you will need a brushless ESC like a mamba or sidewinder. One ESC per motor is needed. The KV is right at 1100, so it will be slower than your 35t motor.

I think this would work very well for you if you use 4s lipo or gear it a bit faster than what you have now. You can gear it pretty high, it has a lot of torque. The only downside is that since it is non-sensored the low speed control isn't the best. Since you will be mostly heavy throttle, that shouldn't be a huge deal.

Great. Thanks for the information.

5S LiPo option?
 

First of thanks to Holmes for the great price and fast shipping on the out-runner

I got my revolver this week and hooked it up to my SCX10 with a Quark 65A Roadster ESC using the stock pinion. I am running this motor using a 4S LiPo and it is working GREAT:mrgreen: and even better the motor/ESC temperature barely rises above ambient temp.

Since it is running so well (and cool) with a 4S can I try stepping upto a 5S for even more wheel speed?

Thanks!

It is a big jump, but if you are very diligent about watching the heat amounts on the motor give it a shot. Hysteresis losses in the stator will start to rear their ugly head at high speeds, so don't be surprised if your cool motors becomes cooking hot in a matter of minutes. I haven't gone over 4s, so you are in unknown territory.
