I accepted the fact sooner or later, reguardless of how careful you try to be landing an RC, sooner or later you WILL break something on a bad landing. Not every jump is going to be perfect. I can Run my E- Revo 2.0 off the edge of a water retention pit and it will fly half way across it before coming down. It doesn't always land on all 4 wheels. If you do not want to break your RC car, just leave it on a shelf or get into Rock crawlers that do not go fast. I believe the market base on RC are teens anyway. Show me a teen that doesn't drive an RC wrecklessly. Things break, even you admit this. Good tips to help minimize damage anyway. Over all, great video. Nice job!

I thrash on my RCs so I know what breaks and what doesn't. I then buy a number of that part. Now not everyone is as fortunate as you and I and don't have the extra money for the spare parts. Also helps to have a number of RCs in case one breaks and I don't have the part. Good video for those just getting into the hobby or only have a couple. Also it is very coincidental that this video is the only time I've seen your Stampede other than your video where you showed your collection. The part that's the coincidence is that yesterday I fixed my brothers Stampede 4x4 after it's been sitting untouched for like 6 months if not more. My brother has been using his SBR and Rock Rey.

I had the same exact experience working with and learning every crevice of the trx4m and scx24 and I knew nothing and a lot of the wrong way to do things lol, but it's been a good learning experience. Now I'm buying my first big RC (besides my mini crawlers, Kyosho Fazer touring car and a Kyosho JetStream 800) and I was stuck on which Brand/model I wanted for a while, but I decided on the Hoss since I ended up with a full set of steel driveshafts and shocks a long while ago and they match the truck perfectly so that's about $100 in upgrades saved + I can solder or just use an adapter for my existing 3S battery to avoid the pricey proprietary.. It should be here tomorrow or Saturday and I'm beyond thrilled. Thanks for the tips and especially the reminder near the end :D I'd hate to end up breaking a bunch of stuff way too soon being totally new to these

Lol, never stops at one. Never stops at two either. 💀 I'll tell you what though, as much as I've spent on the hobby, I never once regret spending as much as I have. It is an excape from reality is the only way to describe it. The E-Revo has one very annoying weak link, at least at first, but it is an amazing RC. My nitro Revo has the same problem but I haven't broke one in quite some time at this point. I've been driving my Super Rock Rey, 3XLE, UDR, and 5T too much to use it. RPM makes a true Trac kit that is ment only for the V1 E-Revo but it can be modified to work on the 2.0.

When lending out cars to unexperienced drivers I try to explain things like these, but it never works out, parts break like crazy, and both themselves and also me get hit by the car. People seem to get offended by me saying: "you dont know how to drive an RC just because you are an adult and have a drivers licence"... when it after just 30 seconds it is very apperant they have absolutley no idea what they are doing. What I have found works really great is to limit the power to about 60% instead of 100%. Now stuff dont break anymore :P Sorry friends, but I had to write this xP

I got an axial smt10 gravedigger for my birthday and a brushless conversion for Christmas and my suspension arm broke because of my stock receiver being faulty so I might add a traxxas receiver to it. Sometimes when I let go with acceleration it will go faster or it would slam the steering into one direction causing my vehicle to break

Please tell me what percentage do you recommend to keep the brake set? I always break the cups on the rear differential because of the brake, I say because the game always makes it in the reverse position, not forward. Thanks a lot!

Nope, but I have heard of it happening. I'm not sure what the issue is. I'd ask in the E Revo facebook group or something.

The typhon may look concerning but its been better to land on the shock towers rather than on the wheels sometimes 😂

Howdy! Can you please tell me if at the time of the jump the Stability Management function helps me to have a more correct jump or if the car lands on wheels or the worse Stability Management function confuses me when I fall I want to jump on a ramp? Thank you very much!

The TSM hurts you when you are in the air. It turns the wheels thinking you are on the ground.

Driver mod is the best way not to break the rc. That's why RC dude 81 and rich duperbash can send their rigs and they don't break them every jump.

@@outsourcedrc I got an erevo 2.0 had some problems at first, but now that I have made some minor upgrades and tweaked it a bit, it seems to be pretty darn solid. It's a blast to drive (more fun than a Maxx, i think). I was on the fence between an erevo or maxx (with the widemaxx). At first I had buyers remorse, but after these upgrades and tweaks, pretty happy with the erevo. Please keep making videos, big fan of your channel. Happy New Year!
