E-REVO VXL BRUSHLESS • 27
This model is equipped with a 2200Kv brushless motor. The gear
combination that comes stock on each model provides good overall
acceleration and top speed. If you want more top speed and less
acceleration, install optional high speed gearing (more teeth). If you
want more acceleration and less top speed, use a smaller optional
pinion gear.
Optional gearing not included.
Note: High speed gearing is intended for high-speed running on
hard surfaces and is not recommended for off-road or repetitive
starting and stopping. For this type of driving, smaller pinion
gears are recommended to reduce load on the motor.
Adjusting Gear Mesh
Incorrect gear mesh is the most
common cause of stripped spur gears.
E-Revo VXL Brushless makes improper
gear mesh virtually impossible. A
factory installed fixed gear adapter
helps set the motor in the proper place
according to the pinion and spur gear
that are selected. Access the gears by
removing the single screw on the top
gear cover.
If you choose to do so, you
can also set the gear mesh
manually without using the
fixed gear adapter. With the
adapter removed, cut a narrow
strip of notebook paper and
run it into the gear mesh of the
motor. The motor is mounted
to an aluminum motor
mount. Loosen the single
motor mount screw with the provided 3mm wrench to slide the
motor mount. Slide the motor and pinion gear into the spur gear.
Retighten the motor mount screw and then remove the strip of
paper. You should be able to run a fresh strip of paper through the
gears without binding them.
