Traxxas ERevo 2.0 RC Driveshaft Axles Pop Out FIXED? Limit Straps

[@scottfirman]

I purchased a used E- Revo 2.0 last summer. one of the rear metal drive shafts were bent. It did not have the Limiter straps. Thanks to your video, I fixed the issues this car has. I watched several other videos saying you do not need the limiter straps. Mabe it was for an updated model or something that was new and everything was still tight and not broke in yet. I love the E- Revo 2.0 and it's Mini Me model. For the money, I think the E- Revo is a great basher!

[@appye7994]

I am going to probably DIY my own solution for this. I have been researching my first 6s RC car for a week or two and I keep coming back to this one. I am about to pull the trigger. My daughter wanted an RC car for her birthday and I wanted to keep it cheap, so we went with a Redcat Blackout XBE Pro which has been a lot of fun and very durable once I put a rear bumper on it. I hadn't driven an RC since before she was born and now she's 14! Now it's time for Dad to get his OWN TOY!!! The limiting strap idea seems to be the best solution I am seeing for this issue, which seems by far to be the main gripe about this vehicle. I have seen lot's of youtubers who are now quite happy with their ERevos after installing. I will go with the same idea, but I don't like the idea of wrapping straps around the brace like that. They may eventually get sliced. I am thinking I will make shorter straps and affix them directly to the rear brace with a screw and nut, just short of full extension...

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Try the bump stop mod inside shocks. Works great. And gives a clean look. Not my vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOWq3uni6poopI

[@actualfacts8106]

Mark i did the straps a different way but it works. I also put in the extra rubber grommets that go inside the shock rod.

That rolling mound plus a ramp would make some awesome jumps!

please ^😂

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

Yea I was surprised you didn’t have these upgrades on it! Seen a ton of people say it completely resolved their issues and since it’s not transferring more energy into the car and instead into the straps I think it should be great for the car in general

[@sdj994]

I used the method like Mark did at the end and I’ve had no issues.

[@SuperBagMan217]

OMG, thank you so much for this video! I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. Going to try this fix ASAP

[@redryderss1]

With the 90mm, try putting a zip tie at the back end of the chassis brace on each side behind each strap, if that makes sense. That way the straps don’t slide as much

[@AdrenLnFueledScholar]

Love these eREVO 2.0 videos..!

[@dimwitrj]

Hey Mark I did mine through the brace but I filed the edges of that hole bc mine seemed a little sharp. I didn't want the brace slicing the straps with continued jumping.

[@Nerf-Or-Nothing-z9o]

[@malcolmportelli9059]

@@Nerf-Or-Nothing-z9o I have no idea if straps in front are worth it. I believe have 85mm straps. 80 are quite limiting and may reduce performance and increase the chance of rolling over.

ayyyy I recommend!!! never had any issues with mine just have the limiting straps on it for over 6 months

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

Any common issues anymore? Most people say the only common problems are the shocks and the tie rods, and both of those issues have been almost completely fixed. Maybe a bent tie rod but better than pulled out rod ends

@@jarrettmaltry6305 exactly but sadly i have to report my E-REVO 2.0 transmission died on me both diffs are still fine but it makes a terrible grinding noise and just wont move sad 100$ replacement but for owning it 9 months and beating the shit out of it I think that's not too bad all things considered other than that just bent tirod's and tires blowing off the rim

[@bhegg]

On my Mini e-revo, the left rear shaft kept popping out and two things seemed to fix it: I screwed the pillow balls further in on the ends of the suspension arms and I increased the oil weight in the shocks, preventing the suspension assembly from extending too quickly which was causing the suspension to over-extend and allowed the shaft to pop out of the drive cup. It used to happen within minutes, but last bash no issues since those two changes.

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

Finally the straps are in. GREAT VIDEO. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@outsourcedrc]

Hey Mark! This video just popped up in my feed. I wanted to pop in and let you know that I was the original person to do this mod. Its actually how my KZbin channel got started. I put the straps on to prevent the E Revo from pulling its shocks apart. Mine kept ripping the shock ends off. The mod has been fantastic and I have had no issues with my shock ends coming off since I did this mod years ago. I hope its working well for you also. Just in case you are curious, here is the original video where I did the mod. Its one of my first videos and its so bad lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3uymJaue8R3atk

[@davidpriest302]

it’s not the downward droop that’s the issue. I find it’s upward travel of one corner on a bad landing that let the drive shaft pop out. I had to put washers on the rear shock shafts to stop the arms from over traveling up on compression. it’s fixed my issue on my erevo.

[@KTMcaptain]

I’ve never had that issue. I only have zip ties keeping the suspension from dropping too much.

[@drewbeltz]

Couldn't you tighten the pivot balls some to shorten the arm and the dog bone will fit in the out drive cup more to prevent the dog bone from poping out?

[@Garrysullivanjones]

Does this happen on the old school 2006 brushless erevo . That rc has the traxxas plastic tube axles. Only way to know is to start bashing it up unintentionally 😂

[@ericrudy2437]

Thank you for video.

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Instead of bumpstops in shocks, put the smallest o-rings I could fit, because bump stops limit travel too much. Plus of o-rings vs straps is that the rubber damps the top out vs yank of straps. No issues with rod ends popping off or axles falling out.

[@hoodrattery8782]

Hey would you mind sending me some pictures and info on your limiting set-up with o-rings?

[@brutallyaverage8293]

@@hoodrattery8782 o-rings are a no go. Rubber broke down and clogged shock piston holes. Easy fix and replaced with a set of bump stops. No pics but upgrade rc has a video of the exact fix using bumpstops. Basically remove shock cap and rod end and place bump stop on bottom side of piston.

@@hoodrattery8782 the bump stops installed in shocks will limit the droop which causes axles to fall out. May still happen time to time of you run the push rods in the inner hole for highest ride height. I run mine in middle with a lot of preload on springs to get good ride height.

I got a Arrma Kraton EXB about 3 weeks ago and have drove it 15+ times and haven't broke anything yet. I also have a Slash that broke every time I drove it. Give the Arrma Kraton a try. You will be impressed.

[@Joe-no5dj]

Everyone told me the same thing so I got a outcast v4 and stripped out the rear diff on my second battery pack. Three diffs and two bent chassis

[@pewterngold]

The EXB is an over priced roller with weak rear diffs. Tons of KZbin vids showing EXB’s on the bench from frustrated new owners trying to figure out how to fix another poor diff design from Arma. Reminds me of the early version Kraton and Outcast that needed to have the diffs shimmed out of the box. My early version Outcast gave me so many headaches that I hardly drive it anymore. Plus, the chassis bent after about 4 months of driving and bashing. Aside from that, I’d rather do a simple bump stop mod or limiting straps than have to tear open diffs and figure what shim balance will work with the right diff oil. That’s another area where Arma drives me crazy. Why do their rigs come with low weight diff oil that have the viscosity of melted butter?

[@nobodynoone3428]

If you're truly breaking a slash every time, you're probably doing something wrong. Sounds like user error or just a made-up story. Where can we find your multiple videos of that for verification?

It's an awesome layout, they handle really well for a monstertruck low slung most of weight down low, with a few tweaks they can get around a track amazingly, definitely not a bullet-proof setup compared to a xmaxx/slash

I had the same problem with my Xmaxx, stuff popping out with no breaks. It saves the truck but it’s just inconvenient

[@luisfj9]

I don't think those straps are going to work. I would recommend you take the rear shocks apart and put some Shock limiters inside the shocks that might be able to fix your problem.

[@705on8]

If you do that it rips shocks apart either pulls the caps off or breaks the other end. I’m speaking from experience. Straps alone are enough.i searches for aluminum shock caps for it with no luck

[@spike--]

Don't think the straps will work.🤣

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

All the stress that would be on the shockcap is caught before it even hit the end of the shock from the straps that pull outwards on that aluminum brace which they would probably never bend. Most likely scenario the straps would break but they’re nylon rated for 200+ pounds and I know guys who’ve had this mod for over a year with no issues yet

Even if you limit internally with some rubber, it still pulls outward on the end of the cap. The rubber is more or less a shock absorber

Been using zip ties from day one. Rebuilt shocks twice now, for different calving, and not a single pushrod or rod end issue. . I don’t know why people waste their money on these when a zip tie works so well and is so much more adjustable. I even threw them on the front in case a tumble would try and rip the arm down pulling apart the shock. . kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnWkgJ6Xe5yZjZY

R J might look better but who cares? Lol. Cable ties are extremely strong under tension and have so much more adjustability. . Not too mention that restricting arm movement will protect the whole suspension system instead of rocker which only protects the shock. . It looks better, 🤣 can’t even tell with the body on. 😂
