2.0 Gets New Control Arms and New Drive Cups, Steering Knuckles, Piot ball Rebuild, and Bearings!

[@Ganjamulla]

A solid tip for pivot balls coming out from the A Arms is to drill a 3mm hole for a grub screw to lock the pivot ball threads in. Good luck and thank you for your in depth coverage of the e revo 2! All the best

[@johngantner9314]

Thankyou for all the Erevo videos. Finally got mine back together. This is truly a Drivers car! So Fun

This is paid quality maintenance videos bud. Traxxas, take note!! Great info with no guessing the details. Thanks for taking the time to create these vids.

[@rcinnature4996]

Love your E Revo 2.0 vids, I promoted a couple of you channel vids on my channel on related topics because they are so well done, really been helping me with my Revo rebuild, thanks man👍

I love the Matco box with the snap on hat. You don't even need to tell me that you have a history of turning wrenches. I've been in the industry for almost 10 years. I can spot them when I see them! great video.

Thanks for this! I have really missed your e revo 2.0 videos.

[@jimferry4751]

I did the super glue quick repair on my pivot ball to run my E-Revo till the parts come in. Your video is epic in detail. Thanks so much. I just ordered the side that was bad as the truck is only a few months old. Missed a jump caused the pivot ball to pull from the A-arm. Thanks again.

This is hands down the best informational RC upgrade I’ve ever seen. You have a teacher lens and thanks for the info!

[@upgradedrc3697]

Thanks, I appreciate it 🤙

[@paulsimons1164]

When you do 10% camera by pulling it two screws out the inside of the tire wears out before the outside of the tire because it doesn't lay surface flat on the ground it is good for cornering but it is not good for whole shots and longevity of your tires it wears them out that's why they call all four wheel alignment alignment it is to align the wheels flat to the ground so you have much surface contact as you possibly can have 10% camera does run better cornering now

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

Very nice instructions T....it took me a lot of trial and error to finally get my E-Revo suspension in order.... I was kinda wondering why you didn’t use RPM A-arms instead of the Traxxas parts being that you have used RPM parts on your E-Revo before...... again... thank You for sharing your knowledge with all of us ...... ☮️~~~Out!!!!....😎👍🏻

[@upgradedrc3697]

Sorry, I've been waiting on RPM control arms forever. But I heard they are too flexible in the summer time for big jumps, and they also rub the druve cups. I have had people tell me they are crap.

Another great video thanks for all the education it helps out a lot and like the other guy said I love my E-Revo more than any of my other trucks I think even a little more than my xmax

[@liquidfluidity8061]

Excellent content even if this is an older vid. I'm glad I found this channel - as for the drive cups, can they be moved from side to side to allow wearing the opposite side and thus extending wear-out times?

[@allenj.7256]

temp fix in the field, put a washer over the rod end, i seen a rpm tru track install on you tube somewhere, thats the permanent fix

[@rooseveltrainesjr1536]

Thanks buddy learn alot from u

[@treyntashabrown6607]

I have the Rustler VXL 4x4 and the driver side rear keeps pulling the rod end off the ball and screw. The ball and screw will stay in there but the rod and we'll just pull right off of it I've had the truck now for about 2 weeks and it's done it about six times

[@upgradedrc3697]

Watch this video and try it out. Sounds like your shocks are over extending. Some people use limiting straps also. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOWq3uni6poopI

[@rooseveltrainesjr1536]

The problem are the ball don't screw all the way in. An she's heavey. The Revo is a strong truck. An yes it rips the drivetrain. Run replace an repeat. An awesome truck. Thanks trexxas

[@paulsimons1164]

Using the shocks and tires to keep the car straight is what you need to do in drag racing lowering the front of the car putting more oil in the right and less in the left allows the car to power to the right but stay straight to the left this is how dragsters are set up so when you stomp the gas they do not pull to the right they drive in a straight line

[@bigred8022]

Hi nice. Video quick question r. U meaning u.s. layout. As in left. Hand drivers side thanks

[@upgradedrc3697]

I'm not sure exactly what your question is. Sorry, I have alot of videos out there. What is the time stamp on the video, so I can review it and get you the correct answer.

[@DoRC]

Just FYI those control arms aren't actually an upgrade. They're exactly the same as the ones that come stock on the eRevo 2.0. Traxxas says their HD and it's confusing because they do make an HD upgraded arm for the X-Max but on the e-revo 2.0 it's the exact same arm.

[@upgradedrc3697]

Good to know

[@camarozl12011]

Add heat inserts or push in thread inserts to control arms

[@timothywhieldon1971]

RPM upgrade arms specifies you can NOT bottom out the pivot balls. The traxxas ones you CAN do this but its not ideal to bottom them out. you should specify this

[@MrKbrene3]

Hey Trevis ! It's a year ago and we have snow again in Austria . I'm still driving the X Maxx with the green Arms and they do very good . They are stronger than the stock ones wich looked like a Banana after a year of bashing. So my question is : Are the E Revo Arms also stronger ? Now I have two E Revo 2.0 because I like the E Revo more than I thougt when I bought it for my son. One of them got the RPM Arms installed and they do also very well but I want the Traxxas orange ones because the Revo is Orange and I hope that looks so nice like it looks at your Green Monster. Thx for answering sorry again for my poor english and maybe I can send you more cool pics from bashing in the snow. Greetings from Austria(Europe) All the best René Hansmann

[@upgradedrc3697]

I honestly don't think they are any different than the color. They are supposed to be made from a better material that is stronger, but I don't see it. But. I haven't had any problems with them. And I am clearing 60 feet off my jumps and wreck a lot lol. They are definitely stiffer than the Rpms though. And YES, please post some pics in my group Upgraded Rc bashers crashers and crawlers. 😎👍

[@upgradedrc3697]

I'm not sure, But. I think they are different.

[@paulsimons1164]

You're towing is pitched Wheels forward and in your wheels should be evenly spaced from front to back so the car doesn't go into a wobble cuz it makes the steering shake the back towed in one to two degrees which is flat straight 1/4 turn down it makes the wheels pull to center on the front they skip and jump I recommend running your tires the way that every car in the world gets put on a front end alignment machine it has all four tires put flat on the ground so there's no wobbling shaking or prematurely wearing your tires down tires are expensive one thing that I agree with though is running more shock oil in your right shock in a less in your left shock it allows the car to not pull to the right when doing wheelies or power starts if your car is always drifting try stiffening up the shop on the side it is drifting to it pushes it back to the other side

[@paulsimons1164]

Street racers run 10% to 20% camber so they can corner better and do drifts and donuts better but they also have to take the tire off of the rim and put the passenger side on the driver side in the driver side on the passenger side so the tire doesn't prematurely wear out you have to have it rebalanced when you do so therefore it's a costly timely issue and if you just run your tires flat when the surface you have breaking it doesn't skip because only half or 2/3 of the tires only touching the ground

[@upgradedrc3697]

Ya. I was going by what Traxxas recommended

[@timsgta]

you need the newer grey pushrods, those shiny ones are old, from the first released erevo, they aren't as strong as the grey ones

[@upgradedrc3697]

Agreed!

[@gregg7761]

Can anyone offer me some advice please. My e revo has a tendency to spin out much easier than any of my other vehicles. On loose ground the back end starts coming around and is very difficult to get it straightened back up. Just seems like the rear of the vehicle is loose all the time. I checked/adjusted the toe and camber. Truck is mostly stock but do have duratrax 6 pack tires.

[@upgradedrc3697]

Your suspension needs to be stiffer and the TSM or AVC could be turned up for more control !

[@gregg7761]

@@upgradedrc3697 Thanks man, I’ll get some stiffer springs ordered. I’m running after market radio system so no tsm. If I’m unable to make the vehicle more controllable I may put the stock radio back in.

They flip really good. The sixpacks are designed for jumping and heavy bashing.

@@upgradedrc3697 what do you think about the other popular option; the proline badlands belted?

[@rjnevo01]

Do you think the rear pushrod is related to the same problem as before with the shocks allowing the arms to extend down to far? I just got my revo and I haven’t even ran it yet because I have just rebuilt my rear shocks the way you did and it seems to be pretty stout, maybe to stout…

You should adjust your pushrods so that there is an 1/8th inch play only
