Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 Single Servo Conversion

[@Slikx666]

Kevin. little tip, get an old servo that's knackered, open it up and remove everything that's not on the output shaft plus the wires. Put the case back together and install in the second servo position to keep things smooth. Keep the videos coming.

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Just had to replace the stupid cheap Traxxas servos on my E-Revo 2.0 and I knew exactly where to turn! I bout a Reef’s 5 hoping I’m done w the Servo issue! Thanks for all you do bro!!

[@steveclough6794]

nothing better than having a quality truck at your finger tips i had the old erevo and loved it

[@timsgta]

I aligned my servos with each other and stopped using tsm...works fine now. I did however, order a JX EcoBoost 27kg from bangood, after watching one of your videos...ty sir

[@samcostanza]

Kevin, for those wanting to stay pure Traxxas, the 2255 servo (red case) is also a great option. Now, if I can just figure out how to get that little bit of lag out of the steering, I'll be somewhere.

[@lucifuge777]

Just wanted to say, i absolutely love your videos. My 6yr old son and i just got into the RC hobby with a couple of traxxas slashes. We laugh everytime we hear "tumble wumble" or "whats happened?" Thanks for the entertainment, from the US

[@KevinTalbotTV]

THanks justin :) Hope you're enjoying the hobby

[@teajuice5407]

Awesome video Kev I put some savox servos in my erevo!

[@dough9975]

I love my E-Revo 2.0. Glad to know of another option for the steering servos if/when mine go out. I don’t bash as hard as you do Kevin but that is most likely why I don’t have the same issues. Keep the E-Revo vids coming.

[@paulcherry1520]

PaintballinPyro same here I don't bash mine mostly road runs and grass speed runs haven't broke anything

[@rodrigoborgneth]

My servos broke, the plastic gears lost several teeth ... I decided to exchange it for Traxxas' own metal gear kit (part n. TRA2072R), it was the cheapest solution I found. The servos have been working well since then.

[@88krazie]

@@rodrigoborgneth awesome, but they still only have about 120 ounces of torque

[@scott1171]

I have an e Revo 2.0 and I thought my servos died but the TSM was ever so slightly on, so I turned it all the way down and then it was like normal, and when you are running two servos you need to align the two servo horns, they are not both level one needs to be a little crooked, basically set it up like you would set up one.

[@KTMcaptain]

My tsm does the same thing on my erevo and trx6... called trax-ass and they said it was the first they’ve ever heard of it and tsm would never block steering inputs. Gave me a speech about high traction surfaces.

[@brayangomezquintero9550]

Why?

[@nealstarling5422]

Cool two wheel side stand, don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that before, you da man Kevin 👍

[@downriverdimes8426]

Glad to see the single servo worked well for you. The 2.0 diffs have a hard time with the self rite feature if you have the truck on higher gearing. Great video

[@jayputters615]

I never self right ever its hard on all rc's with this feature

[@patrickkelly4851]

I just bought the 2wd traxxas slash vxl and its amazing

[@G-Loco]

Get some steel axles, you'll need it lol

[@syndicatecat9315]

Cool I have that too! Just a few upgraded parts thrown on

[@totallynotrippin2422]

Hope you hit one million soon!!!

[@rcwreck-creation]

Awe dude!? What happened? More issues with it? Sorry bro! Your fix worked so good.👍 great video Kev. Another shop time opportunity at least? LOL!!! Cheers man! That post you made for me got me over 100 subs! So awesome can’t thank you enough dude!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

No worries bro, glad to help :)

[@DaVeHiLl200]

One of your diffs has had it mate. Unmistakable clicking going on there but. Hope you get it running right soon.. E-revo to the moon hahaha 🤣👊

[@dh87990]

Really nice video, thank you for the info... I have the same e revo 2.0 my self, and i'm going to make the same upgrade on the steering...🇸🇪👍👍🇸🇪

[@woohoofromtexasharris4814]

35 WOOHOO FROM TEXAS, COMMENT 21, Good luck on the set up.

[@awedwardscleaningsolutions]

Nice to see a little workshop video. Not really a fan of live streams but enjoy wrenching videos

[@drog343]

Good conversion, though you might want to look into swapping the servo saver assembly for an aluminum or hopped up one, the stock plastic flexes quite a bit, and made the steering feel a little mushy for me under load (even with a stronger/faster servo), with just one servo pushing and pulling on just the one side, though if it doesn't bother you, all the better to avoid an added expense.

[@philkennedy1105]

Brill battery’s use them in all my planes and trucks , can’t go wrong for price :)) 👍good vid👍

[@maxcav__6484]

Buy some 2 or 3s overlander 5000 mah great battery for my erevo!!!

[@DoinWhatIDo]

Try their premiums. I have their 3s premiums and they're on point!!

[@jeanphilippelandry9381]

me its hrb

[@Imperial_Wing]

Hey Kev another great video 👍🏼

[@markfunnell5815]

Hi kev great video as always , but would it be worth mentioning that fitting a stronger, more powerful servos draws more amps from the BEC on the Esc, and can have an effect on some , Not all ESC's , I'm only mentioning it because it's happened to me on my crawler Esc when fitting a 20kg servo and also similar issue on my short course truck from a 6kg to a 15kg. Keep up the great vids

[@rodrigoborgneth]

My servos broke in my 2.0, plastic gears lost several teeth ... I decided to exchange for the metal gear kit from Traxxas itself (part n. TRA2072R), it was the cheapest solution I found. The servos have been working well since then.

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

Thanks for the part # buddy

[@rccars2.010]

Nice vid kev keep up the good work I blew up my motor on my traxxas rustler 2wd I got for christmas and I just got a new motor for it

[@Basherrc]

Great channel mate ! Love watchin ur vids ! More 5th scale !!

[@Ulanolumyaa]

I bought a used e revo and it has a 25kg single servo on it. What is the difference between double and single servo? If I hit something (sideways) while accelerating, the direction of the front wheels shifts and the car does not go straight even if I do not steer with the remote control. An angle is formed in the wheels. Is this something related to the servo?

[@michaelpratt5920]

Honestly miss this over the live stream which I do enjoy also but conflicting of schedules

[@rcbashersandracers4841]

Funny I have never had an issue with the stock traxxas servos, I just saw it was not lined up properly out of the box and lined it up. No fighting. No burning out. Still got a lot of power. And I have not broken the diffs yet, maybe the two wheeling might have a affect on it. Any how hope you get your erevo fixed it's a lot of fun.

[@hypercarisfast9211]

Basically the whole hobby kev fix one then another problem happens

[@lhrc925]

I’ve got that servo on my TRX four it’s a beast

[@kimmielame923]

Love your vids keep them coming

[@PieAndChips]

Hi Kev Been aware of your channel for quite a while but have just decided to subscribe as partly due to your videos I have just gotten into RC cars with a Tamiya Dark Impact. I've done tanks and boats, and haven't had a car since I was a kid, so looking forward to getting into it! Great content

[@KevinTalbotTV]

welcome aboard bro :)

[@S197Matty]

I can almost guarantee the sound is a bearing in the rear diff. I had the same issue with mine. Thats really the only issue Ive had diff wise, and ive had it since it came out and abuse it every day.

[@billyelliott6263]

Awesome video kev

[@scott1171]

also, the e Revo 2.0 front diff is a week spot as well, its because of the self right and because it does wheelies all the time the front diff get allot more abuse than the rear

[@cardude900]

Ive had this Problem with my mini E revo at the rear Differential. Ive put a thin Washer between the Housing and the Tothed side of the Diff Gear so that it had some pressure to the outside Shaft, after this modifikation i had no Problems anymore with my Diff.

[@jaxonhighfill4641]

Love the videos! Keep it up brother. Sorry I live in the U.S. and can’t come to the meeting

[@logitechz3]

The built in BEC voltage output is 6V, since that servo can handle 7,4 it should perform better with an external BEC. I don't think is a true 25 Kg for 50$ anyhow

[@danzeh3628]

You just half to make sure they aren't power hungry servos and they are aligned and then they will work fine. Some servos do not work well with that 6s system and you will cause a brown out where it acts funny. Also one servo is enough but hard on it them wheels are huge so two do work better if you find the good match I myself use spectrum metal geared waterproof servos and they work great 45 bucks each. Also like I noticed someone else said the front and rear diff rings will chip tooths off if you try to self right it yourself use the button otherwise you will eat them teeth right off. Just change that diff ring and use the button you should be good after that but again you drive them hard so they will eventually break. Lol love watching the vids man

[@pops4141]

I’m finally getting a new servo for my slash today, what a coincidence

[@anythingrc]

Top vid and I hope to see you at paddlesworth sunday

[@thercchannel5757]

slipper clutch not so strong and then the back diff will never die bro... same problem with my erevo 2018 Brushless 1:8! EASY FIX

[@evhexrc1765]

That servo is better than the Traxxas ones, but it’s still very slow and low on torque. Check out KST servos. They’re the best IMO. I use them in all my race trucks and buggies.

[@Termi-Motovlogs]

For general light to medium off road would this servo or the KST be best for my T Maxx 3.3? I'm wanting too get rid of the Traxxas crappy ones.

[@evhexrc1765]

Absolutely!!! KST makes so many different servos, so you will have quite a selection to choose from!!! Just look up “kst servos” and you’ll find what you need. Feel free to ask any more questions if you need. I’ll probably respond faster if you comment on my newest video... which is pretty old lol. Good luck with the Tmaxx! I have an original Tmaxx from the very first year they were made.

[@lordsnowy4638]

Traxxas tough baby!

[@olds97lss]

Not sure if you have the BEC set to 7V+ or not, but even at 6V, that servo should be .16 sec speed, which it didn't seem that quick when you were going lock to lock on the bench without weight on it. Maybe it was, just didn't seem that quick.

[@lachlanmacdougall7927]

Good on ya kev keep it up mate

[@jayputters615]

I just switched my revo 2.0 to an all metal gear single servo set up on my 2nd run out the box the stock servos stripped out even though i had them aligned properly i used a betu 35kg

[@traxxasUDR]

Keep grinding on KZbin Kevin

[@jcallesano]

Love the servo color!. Is there one that is faster that this one shown? I have a stampede that's super quick on the steering. Want/ need faster on the heavy erevo 2.0

[@MrREALfingerboarding]

You will need a steel servo saver, the plastic one will break with that power on one arm. Mine did🤣

[@benprovost6298]

I’m predicting that now as I’m installing my new servo back in. What did you get/where did you get it?

[@alexh.9550]

Ben Provost you get it on amazon

[@123j-s6x]

Hi kev im watching this in a tent

[@hirthirthirt1693]

The guy I bought my 2.0 from told me that the self righting blows the diffs and tires because it goes so hard from front to back

[@KTMcaptain]

Yeah I stopped after noticing the tire was starting to rip off of the rim... and not at the point of glue... just above it.

[@buslebeni]

Kevin, what do you recommend? More power e.g. 2x 20kg (my choice) or a faster one (so 0,10s to 60° at 6V - rather than orig. 0,17s for 60° )? What is more important, power (kg) or speed (or both ;-) ? Thanks !

[@maikelvanloenen8399]

Working on this one, had to increase weight oil in rear diff and lube some stuff and worked better than out of the box. still messing with it to make it better as I'm learning. probably not the greatest to do those long bicycles with stock diffs, haha

[@ShenRC]

👍It does look pretty!

I used to have an 1/8 E-maxx & E-revo 6 or more years ago, they both had castle/mamba monster running gear in them. It seems like they were built a lot tougher back then.

[@jspidertts7174]

So what was the problem? Why didn’t the servos work before?

[@jaxonhighfill4641]

JSpiderTTS_44 the servos where fighting against each other and it kept burning them out do to the constant load. So he replaced them with one very powerful servo.

[@jspidertts7174]

Wow lol

[@lukehelleksen68]

I bought my kids the 1/16 scale e-revo, which only has one servo to begin with. One of my twin boys drove it in the rain and it quit turning left. Does that sound like a servo issue to you? They've had it 24 hours.

[@barakcollins1506]

[@STEVOD313]

Sometimes less is more! 1 less servo, more steering lol

[@taevy12]

I tried both. Single and dual servo setup. Dual setup works better.

[@vitodambra72]

Facts me too bro, itried the 1 servo and it doesn’t work as well, E-Revo is built that way though, i can see why Kevin did at least try that
