How to Install Titan 775 in an E-Revo

The Traxxas E-Revo is a model of radio-controlled monster truck that is available with both brushed and brushless motors. Brushless motors in RC vehicles are much more expensive. The Titan 775 is a separate motor by Traxxas that is often installed in an E-Revo to boost its power. The 775 is faster than the standard motor, but the 775 is not rebuildable should it fail. Many E-Revo vehicles can adapt to upgraded motors, and generally all that is required is a modification of motor mounts on the E-Revo vehicle chassis.

Things You'll Need

Titan 775 motor
Motor mounts
Dremel tool or power drill with various drill bits
Pliers or ratchet wrench

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the vehicle body cover by extracting its connecting screws.
- 2
  Remove the standard Titan 550 motor or motors by removing the bolt that holds the motor to the motor plate using a pliers or ratchet wrench, and unplug the engine wires from their wire connections.
- 3
  Modify the stock motor plate with a Dremel tool or a power drill. The objective is to make the motor plate openings slightly larger to accommodate the increased size of the Titan 775 motor.
- 4
  Grind down the transmission housing slightly using a Dremel tool or metal sandpaper, if necessary, to make room for the larger circumference of the Titan 775 motor.
- 5
  Fit the Titan 775 motor to the motor plate by fitting its notch in the motor plate groove, screwing in its attaching bolt, and connecting the wires. The wire connections are the same as the standard 550 motor, and the Titan 775 has the wires with connectors already attached.
