Okay, Fang ReVAMPs are 2S motors, as in 2S LiPo. This Nano-Tech 1.0 is the smallest 2S LiPo that's suitable for those Fang ReVamps, and it requires the least amount of shell modification. You're going to need a deeper battery cover to accommodate it.

Alternatively, there's a way to rewire the Stryfe battery box to create a 2S pack using IMRs. I call it the 2x2 Battery Box mod. But you'd need beefier batteries than those Nitecore 650mAh IMRs, like 2000mAh 10 amp high discharge IMRs. And they're almost impossible to find right now.

Next, due to their torque, Fangs often have problems with the flimsy stock flywheel cage. Metal is best, but 3D printed Stryfe cages are also pretty decent. And while you're rebuilding the cage, proper flywheels would be recommended. The stock flywheels vibrate too much at 37,000 RPM and cause all sorts of other problems.

Next, the stock wiring is too thin. You'll need a complete 18 or 20 gauge rewire. You'll also need to get a decent 20 amp microswitch. If you don't know how to find one, maybe I could just mail you one. Otherwise do your research and get the smallest single-pole switch you can find with a 20 amp rating.

Next, you'll need a soldering iron and some rosin core solder. You'll also want to read-up on how to rewire a flywheel cage. Remember to leave slack between the motor terminals. You'll also want to practice with the soldering iron. It's more of an art than a science. A little practice can prevent costly mistakes.

Godspeed Tac 🤞    Post questions if ya got 'em.
