Revo - v3

(date: February 18, 2008)

I got all the parts i needed a new 3.3 Revo chassis and 16.8 Emaxx tranny. As you can see below the spur gear is resting on the chassis and will not fit in the hole too well.
Emaxx tranny to big on Revo chassis
After test fitting the new tranny on the chassis I needed to mill out a notch for the HUGE spur gear.
Milled the 3.3 Revo Chassis to fit the new Emaxx 16.8 Transmission
I also milled out the two end of the where the two center shaft are mounted because the u joints is rubbing against the chassis.

Now the Emaxx tranny fits perfectly. Next i will remove everything from the original 2.5 E-revo and mount it on the new 3.3 chassis.

Here is my heavy duty brace to hold the tranny on to the chassis.
Super heavy duty tranny brace.
I was able to use the center shaft from the rear end of chassis but the front is too short. Even the 3.3 center shaft was too short, so i bought a center shaft from a 16.8v Emaxx. I had to cut about an inch off the other shaft because it was a little too long. As you can see in the picture below the outer shaft that i cut off.
