E Revo 2.0 Pivot Ball Repair

[@thunderstruckperthwa4644]

Ive only just got my erevo in the last couple of weeks, this 2 year old video still helps, thanks mate.

[@rwoods911]

This happened to me today when landing poorly off my ramp. :) I looked at the exploded view and manual from Traxxas and it just wasn't clear. Your 4 minute video saved me. If this were my Arrma Vorteks I would have lost a drive shaft. This thing popping our costs nothing. Good design now that I have replaced those toe links with the 7075s! I thought for sure that was going to break. Thanks for the video again.

[@outsourcedrc]

I'm glad it helped!

[@batbike1000rr]

You are ENHANCING LIVES !... like my own. Myself, and the universe, THANKS YOU !

[@jonbly2337]

My son just got an Erevo from my Father-n-law for his birthday. Your videos have been helpful. Our pivot balls keep coming unscrewed, thinking we might need to upgrade the control arms

[@outsourcedrc]

Its possible. Be sure to check them before every run. I do.

[@ABRsanta]

thx for making all these videos. Your helping guys like me that are new to RC

[@outsourcedrc]

Sure thing! We all have to start somewhere.

[@timprice8877]

Thank you so much bro, your always a life saver, was sitting here for 20 mins trying to shove that ball in the steering knuckle & it’s not happening lol video definitely saved me from spending money on parts I don’t need once again thank you!!! 🙏

[@outsourcedrc]

Glad I could help!

[@kerrywalker2179]

Thanks for all the awesome vids, sir. You’re my first resource on revo 2 repair. I knew this would be fairly simple, but found myself not certain on how to get it back together. I did know jamming it back in was not optimal. Lol. Great content!! Thanks again!

[@outsourcedrc]

Glad I could help!

[@wendelljohnson2257]

Thanks bro you are so awesome is my first time with a high power RC and I broke that part I was looking for it all over KZbin and was the only one that explained thank you so much!!!!!!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

very useful as this seems to happen all the time to me, just the right rear and only the right rear mind you! And NEVER bashing hard!

[@outsourcedrc]

I never actually had it happen to me. I just made the video because I see it asked all the time.

[@625lafayette]

Thanks so much. Have a cracked carrier on my e-maxx, so this even applies to some old trucks. Found the wrench (never knew what it was for), and getting those inserts out. Thanks again!

[@cyclerider18]

I have learned so much from your videos. Thank You

[@outsourcedrc]

That’s awesome!

[@selwynyom7438]

You been helping me a lot with these videos I was trying to hammer it back in lol

[@TheTony1259]

Thank YOU for your Help I though my Servos were going out I had the ball pop out on me on one side and I over tighten both sides. THANK YOU again

[@crimsonfancy]

Hasn't happened to me yet but it's nice to confirm what to do when it does. I guess I need to keep that "suspension multi-tool" in my kit when I'm bashing away from home.

[@outsourcedrc]

I carry a tool kit every time I go out.

[@thomashernandez4027]

You can also adjust it with an 5 mm Allen key. If you remove that blue dust cover their is a 5 mm Allen hex attached to that 6 sided plastic weird plastic peice.

[@quakecitysac5890]

Absolutely awesome

[@Sloppyjoe96]

i got old slayer, missing boots and everything and the pivot balls are about ready to fall out it looks like, if they fall out do you need a new carrier to make them snug or is their some sort of bushing or something in it

[@outsourcedrc]

I just put them back in. Its rare that mine come out.

[@markmathews5117]

Thank you.

[@MotorcycleMumbling]

Awesome. Thank you man!

[@RomasNoreika]

Thank you it helped a lot :)

[@outsourcedrc]

Glad I could help!

[@johnnybravo4012]

Awesome!!! Thanks

[@JackJurgielewicz]

Great Video Thanks man👍🏻

[@outsourcedrc]

Thanks!

[@cmbushfl]

I have a question when i run my revo 3.3 the rear wheels wobble I was told that it is the pivot ball if i replace the pivot ball will this fix that problem?

[@outsourcedrc]

I am not sure, there are a lot of things that could cause it to wobble. Bent wheel, bent Axle, pivot balls, or even loose rod ends. Its just a matter of looking through it and seeing exactly what is causing it. honestly, if you are not doing speed runs, I would not worry about it unless it is just really bad.

[@fistmasterzenshaolin4865]

thanks a lot. i had that same problem.

[@Kyle-jb3hr]

My upper ball joints have space in there that cause the wheel to move from wear and tear I'm geussing. Can I just tighten it up ?

[@outsourcedrc]

it sounds like the piece that holds the ball in is loose. Just tighten it, but not too much.

[@TudoRC41]

It saved me, thanks!

[@TudoRC41]

But I had the threaded side out and not the ball.

[@DeasyRacing]

What size Alan key is it?

[@outsourcedrc]

Oh I have no idea. I forget lol.

[@paultro8457]

Oh boy. Haha people are really having a hard time figuring out how to put the pivot ball back in?? 😂😂😂

[@outsourcedrc]

Apparently. I was surprised that people were. This is actually the most common Repair I'm asked about how to fix.

[@gadgetmantwincities]

The threads in my pivot ball are always backing out from vibration

[@outsourcedrc]

You may need a new A Arm. The threads could be gone. Have you tried locktite?

[@toddmerriott6901]

Does the pivot ball go in the front or back hole?

[@outsourcedrc]

It depends on how you want it set up. Its an option you have.

[@toddmerriott6901]

@@outsourcedrc i meant stock. My dog bones have popped out and i may have moved them. Thank you!

[@taevy12]

Sir, mine keeps coming loose. I have to tighten it quiet often. Does that happen to you?

[@outsourcedrc]

Do you mean the ball keeps coming out of its socket? It may be stretched out. You may need new axle carriers. Once that hole gets stretched, the axle carrier needs to be replaced.

[@taevy12]

Outsourced RC no I mean it comes unscrew out of the a arm

[@outsourcedrc]

Oh. It sounds like the threads are stripped out of the A Arm. You need to get a new A Arm I would think. You could try using some type of locktite on the threads and see if it helps, but you are probably going to need a new A Arm

[@taevy12]

I just installed a new a arm. and i've tried locktite. it's wierd. it only happens to the left a arm. I am going to try rpm a arms and see if it fix this issue

[@robdingledorf]

Copper ring mod,,,,,no more problems again

[@kingkeif2406]

Can you tell me more. I cant find what this mod is.
