How to add a Brushless Motor to 1/16 Mini E-Revo (Merv) Velineon vxl-3m

[@taylorjones8674]

The brushed version comes factory with a 1/10 motor which is a 550 12t and the brushless motor that comes factory in that same car if you got the brushless version is a 380 size. For mine since how I got the brushed version I just bought a 1/10 brushless motor kit and everything fit without having to buy extra parts. Something they don’t really tell you...just FYI for anyone wondering

[@boogiedasickestt]

So if I take my vxl system out of my stampede and put it into the 1/16 slash or e revo it will fit❓

[@taylorjones8674]

@@boogiedasickestt yes it will fit, with not modifications

So if I buy a 1/10 brushless motor and esc it will fit in a 1/16 scale e revo?

Probably the 1/10 velinion is too much for the mini erevo plus the esc won't fit

[@doughboy1966]

The ebay listing for this combo states it will fit a brushed setup but they fail to mention the mount.

[@htwcustoms4209]

i found everything in this vid on amozon

[@voodooinc7935]

I just converted my slash mini to a velineon system. If you have a dremmel you can bore your own holes into the motor mount an save yourself a few quid. Works perfect!

[@jeffobrecht6429]

My mount worked fine for the conversion but the gear cover doesn't fit the new motor. The correct plate fixes that.

[@martinraml]

Thanks for the video. I´m planning to upgrade mine after the brushed motor setup quitted its service. Will order the required parts at once. Did you have to change the pinion gear also? Also what are the batteries you are running now? 2s or 3s or the original ones? What size 2s and 3s goes into the battery tray?

[@zacholsen8027]

this video helped a lot thanks !!!!

[@KC_2112]

Should have put a 1/10 brushless can in that bad boy

[@Cobrass2]

Why? Because it will be better or because more easy to install? Im going for the can.

[@peteryork68]

would of been nice to see how the esc out

[@tuckerridgetv2314]

I think I saw the blue ano skid plates on your merv. I know a lot of people like them, particularly the front to keep the dif bulkhead together. What, if anything did you do about the hinge pins sliding? I found they moved a lot because the aluminum ones don't have the little cups to receive the ends of the hinge pins and retard their movement.

[@superaidenproductions1870]

This was a good guide for doing this, I will be doing this to mine but I have a question why did you not use the tool kit?

[@midwestrcadventures7193]

Super Aiden Link productions I’m guessing you are talking about the little tool kit in the first part of video. I tend to like the t handle that came with the car. I just had it in case I needed something else. Always be prepared. Thanks for watching.

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Midwest RC Adventures your welcome, I did the conversation but now I need to but a new resever because I broke the antenna, other than that I love the truck!

[@rcnut5112]

It's not a truck. Unless you put truck body on it. Do video of this thing in ratrod form

[@superaidenproductions1870]

rc nut51118 no I’m calling a truck I know it’s a truggy but I’m making it simpler.

Nice vid

worst timelapse music ever lol :)

[@ramanmunis4404]

is it really a big differnce? like is it 100% worth it bcz i think that if i put some good lipos in the brushed motor it will be fast enough

[@pfander7163]

Its really fast enaugh! It makes wheelie without proplems and run with 3s Lipo 70km/h And this motor is powerful

[@BryanSelders]

What is the link to where you got it

[@stadelmt3240]

Good video, thank you. However, my question is what tires are those? I've been searching for something similar for my e-revo.

[@midwestrcadventures7193]

They are Proline Sling Shot 2.2 sand tires. They work great in the snow.

@@midwestrcadventures7193 do I need any size for my 1/16 rim cuz I wanna get a fatter size tire can u upgrade it to a 1/10?

[@midwestrcadventures7193]

@@lilgerm383 you should be able to fit any tire / rim that will fit the hub size. Clearance could be an issue and affect turning radius. Remember the heavier the tire the more mass and it could affect you differentials and axles.

Did you have to change your receiver to use that ESC as well?

I did the same set-up, you don't need to change the receiver. Just the motor mount and motor plate.

When he moved the servo with his hands to move the wheels manually i cringed soooooo hard

[@midwestrcadventures7193]

Driftingninja24 guess I never really thought about that. Guessing your saying that it might damage the servo?

[@Bringmehomesally]

It is hard of the gears to move them manually and can snap the teeth. The teeth in those motors (hopefully metal geared) are very tiny and snap easily. If you dont have a metal geared steering servo I highly recommend it
