Latest updates, most of which done this year, 2020. I was running VDK #2 pistons front/rear with 70wt, but after breaking the rear pistons in half twice, I switched to 60wt and standard pistons. I have limiting cables on the rear that connect to the rear body post and the lower arm where the...

This was with 18/54 gearing with the max6/2050kv motor: Increased the pinion to a 19T and took it out again. Bash session noted here: https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/bash-from-2019-12-08-and-2019-12-22-my-erbev2-and-outcast-6s.127068/ Snapped a tie-rod when I hit a tree and busted a...

Been a while. Have since removed the cage as it was breaking the body mount/towers frequently and made a roll bar instead. Then late this summer, I picked up a 2.0 roller so I could run 6S and not worry about stuff breaking. I transplanted what I could from my v1: Motor Esc Servo Alloy Rockers...

Got a few vids in my latest video thread since these changes. https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/latest-bashing-videos-09-17-2017-10-30-2017.114334/ It still doesn't do nearly as well as the savage x or flux on landings, but it's livable now. The cage has kept the body alive. I've added...

Check out my latest vids here with it, somewhere in the first vid a the BMX track, I blew the top cap off a shock and lost all the oil. I also snapped 2 rod ends off before that. The entire second set of packs had one rear shock empty...

Got a couple new bashing vids, found here: https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/my-latest-bashing-vids.113919/page-2#post-1113331 I increased the oil weight to 70. The rear pushrods and shock ends had a ridiculous amount of slop in them. I think I'm expecting too much out of the revo's...

Spun a hex in one of the SRC rear rims. Then installed a set of traxxas geode's with chevrons on them and busted 4 HPI 5x8 flanged wheel nuts in one outing. Was going to try a set of 3.2 stablemaxx rims from RPM that have chevrons on them: Then while at the LHS the other day picking up fuel, I...

New T-Bone skids I got from my wife for my b-day. Makes this think look like a tank! I didn't realize when I asked for them that they eat up about 1/2" of ground clearance on the rear. not 100% sure why T-Bones did that. They made the stand off over the rear skid a little more than 1/4" tall so...

Got my RPM arms installed. Truetrack on the rear, arms and carriers on the front. I'm still running the 17mm hubs as they were. I'll cut them off and use HPI 8mm flange nuts when they start to egg out. Also need to make a rear skid protector plate like my other revos. The Tekno RC protector...

Well, the Floureon packs don't fit. The listing has the size wrong. The listing states: 136*44*27mm The batteries are: 136*40*34mm The bay is at most 30mm tall. Even if I try and jam them in, the bay bows so much that the lid won't even pretend to close. Yay... now I have to deal with trying...

Well, my last couple of RPM parts should be showing up today, front arm set and front carriers. My true-track and one set of front arms showed up yesterday. Also a set of Floureon 8000mah 2S packs, had ebay bucks burning a hole in my pocket for a whole 6 hours, so the packs cost me about $30...

Guessing that running 4S, I may not need the summits so soon. Then again, the burst of torque you get from 1/4-3/4 throttle is pretty harsh. Especially when driving with gloves on. Don't have a lot of feel for the trigger.

I put purple on the rear of my BB revo... it's really bouncy now. Think I'll just try a bit heavier oil in the ERBE and see how that works. It's not awful, but it does hit pretty good. With the motor towards the rear, it's a bit ass heavy like a nitro rig would be. A BB revo is a bit more so.

Short hand for "e-revo brushless edition". I have RPM arms/carriers/true-track in the mail. Couldn't wait for my b-day. Shattered an arm and axle a couple days ago 5 minutes into my run. Also busted a carrier a couple days before that on a not so smooth landing. The carrier just shattered into...

One of my remounted losi zombie max tires was out of balance... I really should have marked it so I could have tried disassembling and reglueing it. I threw my set of 3.8" chevrons on geodes off my savage on it today. Had a good time jumping the snow pile along the edge of a parking lot. Was...

Yeah. Hopefully. I just figured with the x-maxx and the 10000mah battery that traxxas offers that they would have a charger a bit more capable. Seems electric is a pretty harsh/costly learning curve. Next, my issue will be overheating the esc or motor and having to shell out for that because I...

Yeah, I'll get the tru-track for the rear and RPM arms/carriers for the front soon. Still working out the kinks with the charger though. I don't think the traxxas charger is handling my 9000mah packs properly. One seems to top off way faster than the other and when I check the voltages after...

Yeah, I expected I'd like it. I had 2 gas versions and enjoyed making them nearly tanks. Granted, it's got a few of the revo quirks, in addition to a few directly caused by the high torque of brushless. I'm not sure if I'll try to bulletproof the drivetrain, more than likely, will just see how...

Plastic. Pretty sure all the e-revo's are plastic. Not real sure why they did that. Cheaper way to make battery trays? I mean... from what I've read so far, 6S in a brushless revo crushes torque output of any big block revo, just destroys a 3.3 revo... so, why the composite chassis deck... would...

A new ERBE with a traxxas 2 port 8A charger. YAY! This is my first electric anything that is bigger than my hand. I have a couple micro's (losi micro-t/high roller, losi micro sct), but my other 4 RC's are nitro (1 BB revo, 1 OS21TM revo, SavageX and a jato). Been in the hobby nearly 20 years...
