E Revo 2.0 Limiting Straps And Testing

[@richardwood8967]

Thanks for the tip, ever since I did this "fix" I haven't had any issues. Before this fix I broke it on second and third run in. I called Traxxas and they were usless. Thank God we have community to share the knowledge. 👍

[@outsourcedrc]

Awesome

[@buknast1]

Will you post a parts list please? I really like what you did.

[@iamthemercury]

Genius fix here sir. Thank you. I’ve ordered the parts. The moment I cart wheeled (93.5 times it appeared :-), and saw the truck was looking a little weird...I knew this is what had happened. Saw your video before buying the truck. I’m amazed that people are already selling these. They are WAY more durable than the savage I own. It’s a hot rod and hot rods break (just like the one in my profile pic!). Great truck...cheapo servos (what do we expect for so cheap?? Thanks for the info dude. Smart fix here!

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks so much! I just made a video about 1 servo vs two.

[@ImurTuta]

you could probably preserve the health of the shock ends on all your RC's by extending the length of your ramp so its more gradual with a small kick at the end. Hitting short ramps at high speed will bottom out your suspension really hard. Just a thought! love the content!!

[@chrisg7160]

I like your videos...entertaining and helpful. I’ll followed your advice and made the mod to my Revo 2.0 that you showed in your video. It’s been 3 months since the mod and no issues. Thanks!

actually I use the 90mm straps without that extra plastic in the chassis brace

[@hobbycow5346]

I have an E Revo on the way and have been doing my homework here. It's nice to see someone isolate a problem and find a nice cheap fix that works, instead of just trashing the truck. Thanks for what looks like a great bit of preventative maintenance! Also thanks for the links! Great video and great ideas! I have also seen another video where TSM ruins backflipping...another thing to think of. Anyway...Great job and thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@timsgta]

I got one within the last week, you'll love it! Also DO NOT buy aluminum toe links, the rod ends are crap. The stock toe links and pushrods will take a beating, especially with chassis brace and straps, I got 90mm for mine. Also I put HD progressive springs from VG. So I'd say springs, brace, straps, extra hardened steel 14t pinion and metal 54t spur, rpm front bumper and rpm control arms are the best upgrades you can get. I wasted money on 7075 toe links...I suggested 14/54 pinion and spur bc a video recommended that for cooler running...we'll see...also get the yeah racing dual fan and heatsink for the motor.

[@timsgta]

I almost forgot but you should not use tsm until you do a stronger single servo mod...

[@hobbycow5346]

@@timsgta My comment, being a year old.....since then I got it, put the limiting straps on, ran it a few times and then sold it on ebay. It was a great truck, but too much truck for my running space. It was really hard on my lipos as well. I also found I had to set braking to about 60% or it would flip over itself on pavement...lol. Those brakes were amazing! I kind of regret selling it, but just tight on space. The telemetry was cool too! Also, if I remember right, it had dual steering servos that sometimes, needed to be unhooked and synced up. Some people had the 2 servos fight each other which burnt them out.

Just a question, Instead of using that piece of aluminum why not just buy shorter limiting straps?

[@outsourcedrc]

Because I didnt know I would need shorter straps when i started making the video and i wasnt going to wait another week to get some.

[@WhosMega]

@@outsourcedrc so now that you know what size would you recommend me getting?I ordered 85mm I hope thats a good size

[@outsourcedrc]

[@crimsonfancy]

could I avoid using the zip tied spacer by purchasing 90mm straps? I have the same truck and just working on preventative maintenance. Excellent mod.

[@outsourcedrc]

Yes. 90mm straps work with no spacer. You do need the aluminum brace though. The plastic one still lets the shocks break.

[@crimsonfancy]

excellent! I have the aluminum brace already installed. Thank you very much.

[@crimsonfancy]

couldn't find 90mm anywhere when I ordered yesterday; had to get 100mm. What exactly (was) is that little aluminum piece you honed down for a spacer? My ramp is now built according to your specs but went with 40 degrees. Finishing a couple details tonight and I even have some material left over to build more. Thanks for all your help.

[@outsourcedrc]

that spacer was piece of one of the traxxas steel axles. It was just scrap I had sitting around.

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

How’d it go, did ya end up needing spacers? Also how’d your shock rod ends doin ?😂

[@olds97lss]

It's very surprising how much punishment these trucks can take, then other times surprising how easy the break. I'm up to 70wt oil, rc raven springs, vdk#2 in the shocks. It still lands so stinking hard. Tried 80 weight, but then the vdk pistons snap in half.

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm running 40wt. I think that the shocks are overall too small for how heavy the E Revo is. If you want to see durable, check out my first video on my channel.

[@timsgta]

I know from personal experience that the 8338 toe links, the black 7075 ones are not good, the rod ends do not stay together on those! As I'm sure everyone can attest...but I was wondering how the 8619 push rods hold up on the erevo?

[@RCPropaganda]

just order the aluminium ball ends plus the straps. Really hope this works well. I am disappointed I spend 550 on this truck then first run mine broke. How this got through traxxas is beyond me.

[@outsourcedrc]

Your rod ends on the push rods will fail next. My guess is that an engineer didn't have a hand on the 2.0. It seems like someone just wanted a beefy E Revo with out testing it.

[@jasonc2785]

Outsourced RC same here. Rod ends broke or stripped out literally every time we run it. Any suggestions?

[@MyBatzIsMyGunz]

Did this fix stop the brakeages long term?

[@outsourcedrc]

Yes. they worked perfectly.

[@twinturbov8]

I just ordered hot racing 105mm limiting straps and some anodized aluminum pushrods since my stock ones are plastic and they’re bending. They’ll eventually break so I figured I get new rods and try out the limiting straps since everyone says they’re a life saver.

[@outsourcedrc]

They are. I think 105mm are too long though. 90-85mm seems to be the best.

[@twinturbov8]

@@outsourcedrc Thanks for the reply! If I have to I’ll go shorter, but we’ll see what happens.

[@freakiebeakie]

I bought those straps also but did not buy spacers or anything so i was thinking on how to connect the straps to the suspention and i came with the easiest solution i could think of . My straps are 85mm and i just placed the strap over the brace from suspention to suspention and it fits like a glove

[@outsourcedrc]

That doesnt work. That only limits the suspension from each other, not from the chassis and thats what you need.

[@freakiebeakie]

@@outsourcedrc the strap i use is 85mm and when i lift the car the suspension can not travel to the end. i understand what you mean that i connected them and that it seems if they limit eachother but that is not true. while i drive they can move because then the strap is not pulled at (sorry for my english xD) . those straps only need to limit the suspension when i jump. the pushrods only get pulled really hard at jumps and not while driving normally. if the pushrods damage i can always change it but i think it is oke like this.

[@ellocko2028]

Did you have had any problems with the motor? Because mine melted on the fourth drive...

[@MyBatzIsMyGunz]

Hi and thanks for the good videos. I just bought a E Revo 2.0 after seeing how much you liked it. It's my 1st ever rc car. Is there anything I should do to keep it healthy right from the start? Or just clean it after each use to begin with bruses and paper towels. I bought 'diff syrup' but I dont know what its for. Are there any other fluids I should stock? I have copper grease to hand.

[@outsourcedrc]

The fluids will last you a while as stock. You will need to change them one day. Just be ready to replace the servos and get the limiting straps and you will be good.

[@76Macadamia]

Hello savior :) I would like to know the about the blue bar you have on top where you have the straps around. Your idea is such a help. I'll other the parts and get it fixed like yours. Thanks for sharing your idea to us.

How has the mod held up over the last month? Thanks for sharing the parts info! What was the part number for that red spacer? Thank you so much for your contribution to the community. Traxxas should have you in R&D!!

[@outsourcedrc]

This mod has been great. The shock ends have zero stretching. That red spacer was made from a piece of a steel Traxxas axle. Use 90mm straps and you won't need the spacer.

Oh man ima have to do this I have gtr end already will they fit the stock ones an anyone Have any guidance on the revo 3.3 black trans ???

[@olds97lss]

Did you try connecting straps from the rear brace mount out to the pusrod ends? Then it would perhaps help save ripping any of the ball ends out. I'm about 50/50 as to which ones rip out, either the shock or a pushrod end. Might need to get an alloy body mount so it doesn't flex though for that to help. Still use the plastic mounts for the body, but the "tower" part would be alloy as the anchor.

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm trying to come up with something. I have some ideas to try.

[@olds97lss]

You have inspired me to make my own. Used some plastic coated cable I had when I made these for my 5B many years ago. However, I didn't have any eyelets small enough/strong enough to work, so I had to fold the wire into small loops, wrapped them with more wire, then soldered it a lot and heat shrunk. Not quite as nice as yours, but hopefully will help keep all ball ends from ripping off. Seems fairly solid and I made them just short enough to where the arms hang gently on the cable vs the suspension at full extension. gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap02-rear.jpg gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap03-top.jpg gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap01-side.jpg

very interesting. Nice work.

[@olds97lss]

Had a couple good bash sessions with these so far. Seems to have helped with my issues. Ever since I installed the pro-line 3.8" trenchers, I have ripped at least one shock end or pushrod end off every time I ran.

[@TheOnishinobi]

This is very helpful. What size are the longer screws that you got from home depot that go into the straps?

[@awedwardscleaningsolutions]

Wonder if those straps would work better with the standard rear brace? That slot seems too far back to work with those straps on the aluminium brace

[@ToGrimmToWin]

Seen another guy take a shock rebuild kit and take the bump stop for the shock shaft in the rebuild kit and put it on the inside of the shock on the shaft to keep it from coming out as far and it has work for him and the rod ends pulling out or breaking

[@dickmadison9092]

Did you make any measurement of the amount of drop of the arm vs. after the straps were attached?

[@outsourcedrc]

No. It stops it right at the length it needs to.

[@freddafishy]

Why is it the back that only needs them? Doesn't the front tires and suspension get whipped up when you accelerate? Or is it not bad. I basically just asking if I need this for the front shocks too. Thanks for the great vid!

[@outsourcedrc]

The Rear does different things than the front. Its not the same motions. You dont need limiting straps on the front.

[@NitroStarGT]

Another question: in the comments, you said the 90mm was a tad too long then later on, you suggest getting the 90mm instead of the 85mm. Is your buddy's 90mm just right now or should I try to build what you did? Thanks big time for info

The #8 is the size of the hole. An 8 hole is bigger than the 6. I believe it will work.

Hi Paultro 84, did the #8 spacer work?

[@paultro8457]

@@mikestrow3823 all I could find at my local Home Depot was a #8 1/4" by 1/4" spacer. So I had to measure and cut a couple pieces out of it. But it works great. Then I went through my tool box and found a cheap china 1/4" drive socket and cut it to fit in the aluminum chassis brace like he did. Think it was a 11mm or 12mm socket. 2 zip ties hold it in place great. I also recommend moving the tie rods to the inner most hole on the A arms. This way it's not pulling down so hard on the suspension components. 👍👍

[@mikestrow3823]

Thanks! My local home depot has the #8 x 1/4 x 3/16, going to pick that up. I went with the 85mm straps, so I dont think the spacer will be needed, but we'll see. Appreciate the quick reply!

@@mikestrow3823 you'll need the spacers. When you fold the straps in half the metal ends don't fit flat against each other because they fold the ends of the straps together and sew them to hold the metal ends to the straps. The spacer keeps the metal ends straight.

How did that end up working? I mean I saw till the end and it didn’t look like it stripped it. I wanna know the parts you bought for that mod!

[@outsourcedrc]

I have a video about why that mod is needed. It's on my channel. I talk about why the rod ends on the shocks keep stripping out. There should be a shot of all the parts I bought. I think that 85mm straps may actually work better so that the spacer isn't needed. I went long with my straps so that I could add something to make them shorter.

You say the plastic rear brace still let's the shocks break.

[@outsourcedrc]

I don't have any experience with the Kraton. The 2.0 is the way to go. It's not perfect, but if you add the limiting straps and change out the servos you will have a beast of an RC. I'm amazed at how well it takes the abuse I put it through. My V1 ERevo breaks fairly often. The 2.0 is just so much more durable.

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Have you thought about putting a soft ramp made w say dirt on the other side so the car doesn’t take as much of a beating on landings? I’m thinking I’m going to build double sided ramps w/ a soft side landing so it will not take as much toll on landings. But if I break this links I’ll try that. My son keeps breaking his but at 13 he’s a little harder on things. I put the stringer aluminum rods on mine and doing his too. It’s mainly the plastic that snaps.

[@gian799]

I literally did the same thing but with zip ties from the brace to the cross on the a arms and it works flawlessly along with aluminum rod ends on the shocks

[@amitpatel8731]

Did the limiting straps resolve the problem long term?

[@outsourcedrc]

Yep.

[@MrAttitude16e]

What was the size of the screws you used

[@nolanationmj]

Have you ever had to fix wheel wobble on your revo mine came out box like this

[@outsourcedrc]

nope. Normally I dont worry about it too much. Sometimes its just a thing you have to live with.

[@rps13nismo1]

Part numbers on the spacer and screws please. Straps came in but i don't know the spacer and screws size

[@jasonh8470]

Amazing must have cheap fix. Great job

[@outsourcedrc]

thanks. It serves me well.

[@brandonkarm9092]

looks like the bottom of the ramp is kicking up and putting undo stress on the rear wheels and suspension. I would bet, thats playing a role in the broken shocks on rear only. My 2 cents

[@outsourcedrc]

It is. It's mostly the weight though. The E Revo 2.0 is just so heavy.

[@austinmorris5334]

Was it the hot racing suspension travel limit straps on amazon?

[@outsourcedrc]

Yep. Use 90mm straps and you won't need that red spacer

[@austinmorris5334]

Outsourced RC great thank you

[@joshuagore2830]

Do you think you could get away with shorter straps and be ok without the spacer at the brace? Maybe 95 mm?

[@outsourcedrc]

90mm Straps are the perfect size

[@avokato31]

Is it possible to get a list of the components you put in? It's difficult to listen them out for me i'm from Germany. Thanks

[@derekh6126]

Anyway you could post the parts list for this fix?

[@dasllamas]

Wow. Brilliant idea. Should have limiters for all models. Prevent popping shock caps ect.

[@nrgskillmedia]

I am about to do the same, isn't possible to use shorter straps and get rid of the aluminum piece? maybe 80 mm straps are ok?

[@outsourcedrc]

90mm straps are the perfect size. They are hard to find though.

[@debarber87]

What was the size of the screw replacements ?

[@outsourcedrc]

I forget off the top of my head. I show the exact package in the video though.

[@jamesgeorge609]

Great stuff.....what size bolts did you wind up using? Thanks....tazzzz

[@outsourcedrc]

M3.5 x 25mm
