Nice

[@nautynate420]

I plan to buy an ERevo 2.0 from my local hobby shop soon, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos.

[@tomroethke]

Totally agree my friend, I ended frying 3 sets of servos and 2 receivers lmao 🤣 ended up getting a single savox servo

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

3 sets that be a triple ouch! Mind you getting through 2 receivers is even more impressive! I can feel an idea for a video coming on!

[@michaelmayse7428]

I figured out how to change the pinion gear w/o removing the receiver box. Remove the battery door clip on the front. After youve removed that then you loosen the motor mount hinge pin 1 full turn. Remove the gear mesh screw and the motor will turn out and pull off of the hinge pin.

Top tip thanks for sharing!

[@josepherickson7618]

Sweet thanks for the info super awesome video

[@paultro8457]

Do you have a part number for the aluminum rod ends for the shocks?

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

Here's the link to the exact same ones I fitted - amzn.to/2OotJAc sorry for delay been out all day

[@deltone34]

do some off you guys fried an erevo 2.0 motor? mine is gone after 4 runs, i think the magnets lost their power because off the heat

[@rcpatapouf]

Nice vid dude, good explained

[@jeffreyroderick3076]

? What is the silver switch 4. On radio thanks new used. Owner don't know anything about this model

[@Bustedrc]

I agree with you. Valid points.

[@gilbertseaver8587]

Just use zip ties on the suspension it limits how far the suspension comes back that will solve the rod ends prob

[@jessemccorkle8959]

I want to create a monster ! By putting 8" X Maxx Tires on my Revo 2.0. Any help would be appreciated !

[@Johnwick-ed7vo]

Limiter straps is the answer for stock plastics on shicks

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

John I think I shall bite the bullet and buy some for the erevo.

[@STEVOD313]

I don’t own the new Erevo cus I have the Erevo killer the arrma Kraton v3, but I totally trust ur judgement Richie n everything that u liked n disliked makes sense n were great points, so if I ever pick one up I’ll know what to expect to like n dislike with the rig.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I am missing my Arrma Outcast, but can't help thinking they'll have another new release by the year end, thoughts?

[@thomashernandez4027]

Only problem with arma is will they be around in 3 years. Traxxas to me is better because of parts availability the arma Kraton is better but only slightly.

[@philthyco1]

Tamiya used that type of suspension on its f1 cars years ago

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

F1 invented it in the 1960's! As I say did anyone from F1 ever sue any of these guys? Exactly!

[@philthyco1]

Exactly lol..but I'm just saying in the RC car world Tamiya did it first

[@paulclancy2404]

Great review traxxas is the company that got big enough to go corporate , they patened the suspension in revo,you only need do something slight and pay money to lawyers to use a similar design they sued arrma, in fairness to traxxas if wasn't for Chinese duplicating everything and now 20 yrs later doing a comparable job with metals ....we would only have a trucks like outcast triple the money . I still like my slashes , mini revo,getting back into the hobby not sure they king hill anymore tho with e r.t.r bashers ,love my new outcast just ordered some hop ups bash,braapp onnnn

[@paulclancy2404]

I was telling local hobby store same tamiya had first but I had thought it was on avante I was wrong, I was kid that car was in obtainable 500 in the 80s Japanese were advanced technology in America than

[@SecureRepairAndSales]

Ofna had the inboard suspension a decade before Traxxas even thought of it .

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

It first came out in F1 cars in the 60s but did they sue OFNA or Traxxas? So why did Traxxas sue arrma???

[@timothycann7086]

@@DriftomaniacsRC Arma was sued because traxxas had a patent on the design (smart business move). The courts upheld the suit because it is the law. Seems petty but, it's a business for them and just a hobby to us. F1 is monopolized already with no competition. whole different ball game.

[@chevycamaro-rp6tr]

you are aware of the fix for the stock traxxas servos though right? honest.

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

The fix soldering over the fuse? I considered it but it seemed a little pointless doing it when they were under warranty, and if they're out of warranty it makes sense to upgrade them. Also with the 20kg ones fitted they're now metal geared and around 4 x the pulling power, the servos I use in the upgrade are under $18 each, and thus the effort of carrying out fix vs the effort/cost of fitting new ones. I went with the new ones, and I've two spare new ones traxxas sent me under warranty, which I can keep for other projects. Hope that makes sense? I always do like the kind of fix you mention but in this case I weighed up the pros and cons and came to the above conclusion. Any tips on such fixes are always appreciated, and I certainly don't mean to put you down in anyway, it was just for me the above made best sense.

[@SebastianLong]

@@DriftomaniacsRC I totally agree. What's the point of fixing the servo and it's still only going to have 125 ounce inches of steering power per servo vs (I think yours are the same ones I have except with a red shell) 277 ounce inches per servo. 250 vs 554. No brainier to me.

[@josiahkunstman8168]

What are your guys thoughts on the proline 3.8 badlands on the erevo 2.0? I just recently got them cuz I blew a stock tire but are the badlands that much better? leave me a comment!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

josiah I fitted the badlands to our car after blowing a stock one. Huge improvement allround

[@joshdunbar9721]

Arrma is the way to go period!!

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I've got and have owned both, and they both have their own advantages, although the erevo's on the bench more than I'd like I get the spares the same day. Arrma very tough though! I'm thinking about selling my Senton and getting another arrma BUT my money is on arrma wowing us with an 8S X-maxx killer very soon. I predict within 6 months, and I got the call right on the new slash and rustler.

[@jonteesdale18]

Yea good luck trying to find oarts Arrma 4 years from now

[@joshdunbar9721]

I have no problem finding parts for arrma. Horizon took over which is in the usa

[@toddmerriott6901]

There ugly tho! Except for the one they cant sell!

[@huckaberryfpv4986]

I hope they do release an xmaxx competitor,will get 1 for sure:)
