Trucks Converting Revo 3.3 from nitro to electric

[thomas.k.griffin]

I am looking at converting my revo 3.3 from nitro to electric. I know I need to get the kit from.either integy or tekno rc in regards to motor mount. My question is in regards to what would be the best motor, esc and battery combo.

Being a 4wd truck, you are going to want a 4 pole motor. I have one, with esc out of my losing if you are interested. It's a castle motor. I can get specs when i get home from work.

I am looking at castle motors and esc's and figured brushless would best over brushed. What are the specs on your motor?

Below is a link to them. The one that I have is the 5700kv setup.

One thing that is wrong with it is the switch. Every castle that I know of, the switch has gone out, and mine is do different. Nothing a micro switch wont' take care of, or you can do what I did and just solder the wires together.

You don't want to use that 5700Kv motor in an Revo.
The motor is to small, and the Kv is to high, the motor will get very hot, and will draw huge amounts of amperages.
Normally you would use an +- 2000Kv motor in this truck with a 4S to 6S LiPo, Like the Mamba Monster, Tekin RX8 or Hobbywing 150A systems.
