Dewalt installation basic questions for a new E-revo

[Visceral]

Hi guys,

Long time listener, first time caller.

I bought a new E-revo a week or so ago. Its all about the beach for me, with streams and salt water and sand, so a brushless setup is pretty much out of the question as long as I cant hose it off.

I ordered the correct part number from Sears for the 12v Dewalt. I'm currently running a pair of 4.6Ah 8.4v batts, and I hope the Dewalt won't kill the run time. If it will, I'll have to go to the SPC 9Ah Lipos with all the headaches Lipos create.

As for installation, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I've got a few questions so that I dont get half way through and find I'm delayed.

1. Pinion gears: What is the stock spur gear? When I buy a new pinion, do I get the "mod .8" with a 5mm shaft? I'm assuming a 20t will be ideal for now.

2. Motor mounts: Is the traxas single motor plate a cleaner install than taking out the two Titans and mounting the Dewalt in the back?

3. What size capacitors are best for the anti-glitching trio?

4. Am I significantly reducing my run time from the pair of Titans?

Thanks guys... this mod is truly putting the "hobby" back in RC cars for me.

1 I think stock is 19T, 20T 0,8mod on a 5mm is ideal for the dewalt.
2 Yes it is cleaner, not neccesairy however.
3 100nF
4 not sure, the Dewalt is more powerfull but it is more efficient to, I think it'll draw a bit more current...
