 Please
click on the links below to download the instruction manual for
the 540r Conversion Kit. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader
for viewing. Please note: this kit has
a 14-turn motor limit and should not be used with any 540 motor
with fewer than 14 turns.

This kit accommodates up to (6) 4/5 Sub-C cells. 4/5SC cells
are the same diameter and standard Sub-C cells, but are only 34mm
tall. Listed
below are some popular types of 4/5 Sub-C cells which will fit the
540s
kit and can be bought from any number of retailers.
- GP2200
- Sanyo CP-1700
- CBP2200
- Sanyo CP-1300 (this is actually a 1/2SC cell
but will still fit the kit
|
  |
| You can purchase
any of these cells from
www.CheapBatteryPacks.com. |

You can print out this 1:1 template which shows

Everybody knows that it's not just about how much power you have
but how much weight that power has to push around. All of
the x3 series conversion kits are much lighter than any typical
1/10 scale car/truck, so the power-to-weight ratio with a whopping
540 motor, regardless of turn, is very high for all these kits. Ultimately it comes down to what you think will be the best setup
for you.

 This is
a simple spreadsheet that uses Excel to calculate predicted speeds
given certain criteria such as motor RPM, number of cells, tire
diameter, drag, etc. A must-have tool for any hobbyist.
