Buy These Upgrades First | Traxxas | E-Revo 2.0

[@TylerSaleik]

I use 60 wt shock oil with blue springs and 50 wt with grey springs and I’ve never had a problem with the push rod ends popping off. Keep in mind i have been running this for 5 months almost everyday. Only upgrades I have are the summit bumpers and body, rear toe links, Teflon coated shock bodies, and 100k diff oil. The summit body is way MORE durable than the e revo 2.0 body in my opinion, it’s exo cage soaks up all the roll overs like it’s nothing. Also, I am using proline badlands mx38’s and I strapped them and vented them and get great performance on and off road.

[@GoKaioken]

That’s some really good information Timmy, I’ll pin the comment so others can see.

[@TylerSaleik]

Good information though man keep up the work!

[@GoKaioken]

Thank you! I love this hobby so definitely will. 😄

[@KTMcaptain]

I’m running 50 wt vdk pistons #2 front and #3 back with TiN shafts and jato shock boots. Pink rear and silver front springs. . I use zip ties to stop the arms from hyper extending the suspension and the blue chassis brace.

[@TylerSaleik]

Firestarter I sold my e revo 2.0 about a year ago , fully upgraded a slash 4x4, and just bought an arrma talion a few months ago. By far the most durable rc and most fun rc that I’ve ever owned.

[@UnhingedCanadian]

I just bought one my buddy has had 1 for 2 years. We just run the suspension tight keeps the travel from going crazy then you don’t need limiting straps as well with tight suspension it won’t bottom out as much. Only down side with tight suspension if you want to call it a downside is that it will wheelie more but with good throttle control it’s not an issue

[@paulkauss9346]

I highly recommend going with the Traxxas red metal gear servo, single or dual. You will have problems with the stock ones, but you can get part 2072a or 2073 spur gears for 4$ for when they do strip and keep running them. Agreed on the metal back mount as a must add on. Great video.

[@NaWJeyJey]

You don't need the Exocage, your body will last longer than you want without. You just need the TRX or RPM cage supporters. The RPM bumpers are ok, but not necessary. The alumnium brace on the rear is one of the must haves but you need the suspension limiter straps too. At my first battery with this thing the center drive shaft broke because of small stones. Buy the steel shafts if you want to drive in rough terrain.

[@GoKaioken]

This is a great response. I support everything you just said!

[@twinturbov8]

I've got all of these upgrades except for the RPM body savers. I had bought 105 mm limiting straps, but with the stock suspension rockers they were too long. I got some old long travel Summit/Revo 3.3 rockers off a friend and now the limiting straps do their job perfectly! The long travel rockers probably aren't the best thing to do to an ERevo, but I like the extra ride height and suspension travel.

[@nathanstell9908]

Iv had mine for abt a year now and mine is still stock to be honest I don’t think you need anything but extra shocks and maybe tires

[@wyattscheerer6469]

I think a lot of these upgrades are good apart from the cage it takes away self righting but I don’t mind scratching on my car but not sure

[@aaronlewis8341]

The tires are heavier than the version one and they drop faster.

[@piccions9391]

Good video man. I broke the central, front driveshaft. It's made of plastic.. Bought all two central driveshaft from gpm. These are made of metal. Hopefully the problem will be solved..

[@markb4448]

Single steel gear servo makes a huge difference

[@KTMcaptain]

It baffles me why anyone would use those limit straps... I just put a zip tie from the body post to the middle support on the control arm.... just clicked the zip tie one at a time until it barely limited travel.

[@GoKaioken]

That may work but I’d be surprised if they didn’t break. Depends on how large of a zip tie too I suppose.

[@KTMcaptain]

Joshua Esposito zip ties have excellent tensile strength. There isn’t any rubbing and if one broke I could easily replace it. . I’ve driven 30k miles with one zip tie holding my bumper on when the front passenger tire ripped out the entire fender liner on my 2013 WRX. . I’m just waiting for a duct tape fix now. Lol.

[@nicethelyrical1529]

I seen a servo service upon purchase video that seemed pretty cool.

[@jayputters615]

What about the crappy servo's they strip out even if they are adjusted properly

[@GoKaioken]

That’s 100% true. Completely agree.

[@aaronlewis8341]

I've seen alot of reviews on youtube and it seems that the tires are actually the problem with the rods coming out.

[@GoKaioken]

The weight of the tires? The limiting straps should help with that.

[@yaythegamer2420]

@@GoKaioken very helpful

[@GoKaioken]

Good to hear! 😄

[@thedubs4388]

The stock tires are shit anyway. Mine ripped after run 4. Annnd I got a paperweight for another week lol

[@GoKaioken]

Aw man! Have you tried a different brand yet?

[@aaronlewis8341]

I see that the revo 2.0 might be sitting in my collection next but upgraded before it even sees dirt

[@GoKaioken]

That would be my suggestion for sure! I drove it some more today right after making this video and it really is loads of fun. I can’t wait to start jumping it!

[@BenjaminSalas]

I can't find your install videos. Do you have install videos of upgrades, specifically limiting straps?

[@GoKaioken]

I don’t have an install specifically for the limiting straps, but I can make a specific one for that if you want.

[@BenjaminSalas]

@@GoKaioken only if you want to! I think it would be helpful. There's alot of videos on them. But they don't really say what size / part they use and how specifically they put it together. I have seen 85-90MM straps and alot of different size bolts/ screws used. Thanks!

[@BenjaminSalas]

@@GoKaioken I do like your videos and I got a couple of the upgrades you mention on my ERevo. Thanks for what you do!

[@seanbresnahan2149]

why do you suggest not using the self righting feature thanks

[@GoKaioken]

Just because of the instant full power, full stop, full power, full stop, to get it to self right.

[@erick1076]

why dont you recommend using the self right feature?

[@GoKaioken]

I don’t personally like the instant on, instant brake, over and over.

[@erick1076]

@@GoKaioken gotcha. I only use it if the car flips far away. I dont bash i just like to run it in fields

[@GoKaioken]

You should be all good then 👍🏻

[@Johnny-2]

Is there mounts im gonna need for the rear and front bumper?

[@timothywhieldon1971]

limiting straps are a MUST, everything else is meh...

[@lennchadful]

nothing wrong with the self-righting feature. me and 2 friends have revos and have used it all the time. none of us have had an issue. have people had problems? sure. but its not a constant problem.

[@GoKaioken]

Thanks for sharing

[@alanrogers7442]

On self righting the tires Balloon and will explode have been through 2 sets stock /badlands... it's a lazy man's button lol but the 60bucks for 2 wheels and tires every other time you hit that button is a NO FOR ME LOL

[@timborides3298]

I did buy the front bumper I was having the issue with body going over the front bumper and cracked it

[@GoKaioken]

Same reason I got mine

[@toddmerriott6901]

What do the spacers do? I see everyone doing that, but I don’t understand?

[@GoKaioken]

The spacers for the limiting straps?

[@cormaster7291]

Never gonna get those spacers :(

[@robbiebamburg3166]

I like the under chassis brace

[@GoKaioken]

I’ll have to check it out.

[@kadeluis8724]

Are the 90 mm the best size for the The limit strap?

[@GoKaioken]

It depends on how you attach it. For me it was.

[@sarahdeeks7306]

Good video dude 👌🏼

[@GoKaioken]

Thanks!

[@toddmerriott6901]

Good video but the body cage is awful! Body savors are a must! The body will last along time with them

[@GoKaioken]

To each their own.

[@hirthirthirt1693]

The limiting straps do not save the tie-rods from pulling out...only the shock-rodends

[@GoKaioken]

The assist in saving them from pulling out... from vertical drops.

[@aaronlewis8341]

I wonder why traxxas hasnt fixed that shock problem with the same straps that they use with the udr

[@GoKaioken]

Not too sure.

[@the_ltz_guymaster7912]

@@GoKaioken is it worth buying the 70mph batteries

[@GoKaioken]

If by that you mean 2 3S batteries and the appropriate gearing to do it, then maybe. Depends on if you want to go fast for about 5-10 minutes or if you want to bash for 15-20.

[@djlansing]

maybe put limiting straps on front?

[@GoKaioken]

I have watched vids that the front skid plate is designed better and actually keeps the wheels from dropping too far (basically what Traxxas should have done with the rear).

[@KTMcaptain]

Joshua Esposito if you put the front end in a block and pull the front suspension down you can pull on the shock... so I run zip ties on the front to prevent that. . When the truck cartwheels or lands weird the wheel can be pulled down yanking the tie rods and shocks apart. Limit straps prevent the shock from being damaged but do nothing to protect the rod ends on the pushrods.

[@GoKaioken]

This is some good info here - I’m going to do this to my E revo!

[@piccions9391]

I've put 90mm limiting straps on the rear and 2 zip-ties on the front

[@KTMcaptain]

@@piccions9391 my rear bulk head failed as the steel hinge pins were ripped out... haha, but still haven’t damaged a rod end with my zip ties.

Cage looks weird though.

i destroyed my e revo before i could upgrade it by going 70 into a wheel

[@GoKaioken]

Dang did survive?

[@alewis78]

Servos

[@GoKaioken]

I don’t agree here as 95% of people don’t have an issue and 2 servos is a big upgrade to buy as a “first upgrade”.
