I love the Erevo, I am on my second one. Sold the first one for a kraton 6s, realized I missed the way the erevo drove and had to get another one. Just a killer RC, that drives like no other. I really have had no issues other then the servo's going out. Good Stuff!!
Yep stock electronics pooped out on me too but hey, they lasted almost two full years of bashing, mind you this was my first electric rc so it took some unnecessary punishment on top of that lol. The max6 really transformed this thing into a monster unfortunately winter struck at the perfect time so I couldn’t get footage! In my opinion if you know how to maintain an RC and put the right upgrades on (and don’t overdo it) the revo can be up there with the xmaxx in terms of durability I mean wow….Ive sent this thing off a 2 story house, skate ramps, triple back flipped it, and it’s cost me like $45 In 2 years outside of electronics and tires (didn’t vent my first set, that’s on me 😤)
Props my man. I like the laid back and honest views on the car. Makes a guy happy with his purchase lol
Thanks buddy! You should be 😁 I wish I could make more content but winter supremely blows. Another thing I failed to mention is I sealed the holes in the rim and vented my tires, makes a massive difference
@@V8chump yeah. Just took mine out and ended up ripping the whole rear wing off mount and all. Crazy how much abuse it can take.
@@Jobro_Ya_Know damn! Luckily my wing mount lasted, I seem to nosedive or land on the roof more than I land on the wing. That said my wings barely holding together from all the wheelies grinding it away 😅🤣 were you running in the cold? I see guys breaking plastic from even mid level bashing when it’s super cold
@@V8chump yeah I went for a front flip and broke the wing mount and the support that is on the rear body mount. My fault 100%. Surprisingly I have yet to brake a rear toe link
Great must have to upgrades! Good one!!! I did a bash video with pretty much those upgrades. I removed my pillow ball covers. No issues after a few years running it that way. 👍💯
Thanks buddy! Too many people having problems with their revos when the problems are simple fixes or upgrades! But yea I bought those replacement dust boots assuming they did something...only to see my pivot balls haven’t gotten any more worn since the first time I looked at them 🤣
Just got one yesterday! Love it!
Really really nice video! You deserve more attention 🤩
Awesome vid Rcfam 👊🏾😎
Thank you buddy 🙏🏽 i got a few more I just made public again.
I also notice you must be somewhat nearby, I see you’ve done some crawling at spirit controlled RC! I’m in northeast Ohio so immediately knew where it was by checkin out a video of yours
great job mate...perfect upgrade
keep going champ🏆🏆
Thanks buddy! 😁 winter put a damper on my bashing but I should be able to record a couple scx24 videos real soon, upgrades and running footage 😉
Had mine for about 2 years now, just now I finally shredded the plastic spur gear, no wing left, and some bent push rods but other than that I've been trucking along.
Nice! Yea it’s an awesome truck especially with that chassis brace and some shock tuning. The variable dampening kit really made it land much better. Sounds crazy plush now
@@V8chump I just ordered all of that! I have been running stock only
@@DuitLikeThishow’s she been buddy? I just added copperhead tires and man it made me fall back in love with this truck. Slides onroad so much better. Broke a chassis and replaced that, I’d start ordering spares since it’s discontinued. I got arms, gears, driveshafts, steering linkage, wings/mounts, bumpers… I went crazy
Saw you got a scx24 there. Saturday I got a scx24. Was eyeing the e revo. Had to go back Sunday for it lol
Such an awesome rc, pick up the rear brace and straps for ~$25 and you shouldn’t have any durability issues! (Unless you have an accident 🥲😂)
Motor fans are also really nice because it runs hot stock, no heat issues on 20/46 in any terrain with fans 👌🏾
Try not to overuse TSM on grass or hard terrain to preserve stock servos and I really really caution you on self righting. The weight of the tires means it can do some DAMAGE to the gears going from full throttle to full reverse…. Blew a diff, motor, and spur first day I got mine but got it replaced. Haven’t used self right since and haven’t had any gear related issues since! Not even a plastic spur after all the failed doubles and triples 😎
cool vid! appreciate the views number! keep it up! big like!👍👍👍
I got mine for Christmas last year, excellent car. I stay on top of the esc fan maintenance so it'll last just open it up and put a light oil or transmission fluid on the bushing keeps it running smooth and quiet. I stripped the gears on both stock servos pretty early on a small rock jammed my servo arms. I didn't hesitate replacing it with a single savox servo. I would recommend getting the 1231SG (steel gear). Loads of torque and faster than the stock ones.
Yea I’m gonna have to pick up a 2nd savox that one I have isn’t enough. I will say the max6 definitely increases power quite a bit and I haven’t had any drivetrain problems yet, though I only bashed 3 or 4 times before winter hit. Gotta say I’m blown away with how durable the platform is seeing as I put maybe $30 into parts in 2 years
@@V8chump That's good to hear. Iv'e been seeing the Erevo gett alot of flac on forums and on youtube for how easily it breaks, But seeing how you absolutely thrash it and myself nailing a few concrete walls It's much tougher than people say. Also to keep the drive cups from wearing out Ive experimented with silicon PB blaster from a can, it keeps them from squeaking and it doesn't attract much dust at all.
@@needleneck3770 yea idk, I feel like some people have no idea what they’re doing 😂😅. For instance, there’s a guy on UA-cam who KEEPS breaking driveshafts on it while running tires that have to be 2x the stock tire weight, then buys cheapo “upgraded” shafts and breaks those with his stock tires… 😂🤦🏼♂️. I drive it like this if not even harder (skate parks) every single time I run and have had to take a wrench to it maybe 3 times outside of general maintenance like checking bearings and changing shock oil
@@V8chump I know exactly who you're talking about, watching him makes me cringe hard. I'm really impressed with the durability though. Ive swamped it on accident like 3 times and it runs just fine still no rust in the motor I always dry it off with an air compressor after every run. I think the standard savox servos are pretty well weather proofed, they might not have a ingress rating for water but taking it apart it does have o-rings on the screws and such.
@@needleneck3770 LMAO that’s so goddamn funny. Hey if they’re having a good time though more power to em, just gotta learn how to fix weakpoints without making another one in the rc game. In regard to water I have very similar experiences, I’ve hit some massive puddles that are hidden by grass and kicked up massive tails of water, still have no rust on the truck and nothing in the diffs besides the vanquish grease I put there last winter 😎 like you said as long as you blow them off and I even put them in front of a household fan for a while for residual moisture that could sit in the heads of screws etc after the compressor
Great video👍I've had my erevo 2.0 for about 20 months now and its held up really well.
My mods so far i've changed the motor mount to a Saga one. I'm running the TP Power 4070CM 2200KV motor and I have a Castle XLX2 in it and I run it on 8S... The thing is monsterous! I cant even use more than 1/3 to 1/2 throttle as it's quick.
I would highly recommend to this power system as it will turn your erevo 2.0 into a monster!
What tires you using on 8s? I know the gears on the revo outclass basically everything that isn’t a 1/6th scale or bigger but I’d be worried about the weight of my tires chewin up my driveline! 🤣😅 you do any other drive train upgrades for durability?
@@V8chump I'm using the standard talions at the moment but I do have some Proline belted trenchers but they are huge. I'm toying with some Proline belted badlands as they are similar size to the talions.
I've ugraded the centre driveshaft yo the Traxxas steel one and I'm running 20/46 gearing but that's itfor mods.
I hear a lot of ghys moaning that the Erevo breaks stuff all the time but my erevo is pushing 12hp and it takes it really well.
As you say, the diffs and gears in it are top notch.
@@grantdelmege2724 yea 90% of the big UA-cam channels wrote it off forever ago because of the original pushrods and the rear end exploding which was fixed with chassis brace and straps so nowadays I tend to see guys having awesome luck with their revos unless they have no idea what they’re doing (or just pushing it to the limit 😈), throwing crazy heavy tires on for bashing or adding aluminum in all the wrong areas
@@V8chump yeah totally. The erevo 2.0 got me back into the hobby after 20 years out and I love the thing.
I just love the way the erevo looks and drives and it is very fast but is also a solid basher.
I cant comment or compare to the Arrma stuff as I haven't had ome(yet) but I will always love the erevo 2.0 as it is just an awesome RC.
Only critisicm is you are limited by what batteries you can use due to the small battery compartments but that's it.
Erevo 3.0 anyone?😜
@@grantdelmege2724 yea that’s definitely a downside but maybe on the 3.0 they’ll fix it 😉. I loves me some arrma too, I know Kratons take quite a bit of modding to make a good basher but their 3s cars are definitely the go to for arrmas. My arrma granite has been launched off cliffs and a 3 story roof never an issue. However I blew the shit out of the transmission when I put 3s through it and tried to land some backflips 🤷🏼♂️ that said it feels much more premium than a slash. Traxxas makes (imo) the best 4s and 6s RCs, arrma makes the best 3s and brushed RCs, and then there’s a ton of great 8s’ but I’ve never tried one 😢
I love my erevo. It does Handel quite well. I think anything up to 4-s I would go arma. But 4-s and up I would go Traxxas all the way. The Kraton in the 6-s series require a lot of modifications to make it bash worthy and handle better. Like 300$ worth of mods. Better off getting the exb roller and buying electronics for it but then your at almost 1000$. Makes more sense to just get an Xmax at that point. Way more reliable. But the Arms 3-s and 4-s lineup is a blast. Traxxas offers nothing in that lineup for the money.
FULLY agree, the 3s arrma cars are insanely tough, I mean I sent my granite off a 40+ foot cliff 3 times and didn’t have a single issue. Super glad I chose the revo over the Kraton as well, I see guys sinking 1,000+ into their kratons still having issues with the rear end exploding
You guys format about the Maxx, white is the toughest one up to 4s cars on the market
@@eM4rio yea the maxx is likely the toughest RTR on the market but 3s wise arrma reigns supreme. That said if you have the money for it I’d definitely go for the maxx especially since it comes widened now 😁
I’m using the DuraTrax MT six pack belted tires both the off road variant as well as the on road ones on my E-Revo 2.0 and these tires are slightly larger than the stock ones but if you go full trigger on 6s with either of these tires you get ZERO ballooning ….. they’re kinda pricey but well worth it and you’ll never blow-out these tires …… thanks for sharing….
☮️~~~~~Out!! 👍🏻💯
Sorry for the late comment, I’ll have to give them a try this summer 😁. I’d like to try the on road version to see how it changes the performance. stock tires seem to grip hard, then roll on the rim, which causes the car to flip
@@V8chump the on road Duratrax tires have very deep tread and when you go full throttle from a rolling start … they actually screech…..
👍🏻💯
@@pitbullrcltd6252 and would the road ones be the duratrax ST? Definitely want that tire screech 😈
@@V8chump Duratrax ST Bandido on road tires …..the Duratrax six pack MT tire is the off-road variant…
Both these model tires have no ballooning what so ever…..
Gr8 tires …..👍🏻
Good job😍😍
I just got the Integy telescoping driveshafts for the Erevo and will never have the falling out problem or wearing diff cups again.
You can get all 4 for less than $120 on eBay. They have a lot of colors too.
That’s pretty sweet didn’t know those existed! That said I’ve never had an issue after straps which are way cheaper and don’t trade off any durability by introducing another weakpoint in the shaft but sounds like you could have a better street setup since you don’t reduce droop 😁
@@V8chump there isn't any more weak points introduced with these driveshafts. Plus, in the long run, they might actually be cheaper than the CV axles b/c you don't have to replace diff cups.
@@trentonnobles464 oh they must be different from what I’m thinking, hit me with a link brother they sound sweet! 😁
@@V8chump what color: blue, acid green, orange, purple, silver, red, grey, or black?
@@trentonnobles464 classic black 😎
Great video 👍, would have been even greater if you had linked all the parts in discription
I’ll get to it, thanks for the feedback 😁
Got everything noteworthy listed in the description, didn’t include things like dust boots because I’m almost certain they’re pointless. The chassis brace and limiting straps and motor fans are the only must do upgrades in my opinion… things been unstoppable since then but you might need a little spacer for your limiting straps after a while 😁
@@V8chump thanks man 👍☺️
cool rc parts and rc
All 4 corners of my pushrod has had a endlink pull out so your lucky
Are you using the same rods? You’d have to measure lengths but maybe the sledge one piece links would work? Those ends can’t pull off and definitely won’t break 😁
@@V8chump it's the end link that are on the pushrods that connect to the rockers. I even tired the rpm endlinks and they still pulled out. I just replaced them with the 7075 Traxxas ones and did the limiting strap mod haven't tried them yet though this Sunday I'll give a update.
@@alexadams2336 oh wow that’s weird, have you disconnected your suspension to make sure your arms are traveling freely? If they’re locked up or gritty it could be adding resistance… reason I say this is because 99% of the time I see guys ripping out the bottom ends when their shocks fully extend 🤔
Hey mate, when you said you installed the 85mm straps and they were still slightly to short, did you mean they were actually slightly too long still like the 90’s and putting in the spacer helped shorten it a little bit?
If so do you think I should purchase the hr 80mm instead?
Thanks
I didn’t even notice 😱 yea I meant too long the shafts could still pop out. You could get away with 80mm but It might take slightly too much droop away. I was trying to get the perfect amount of droop which I think is somewhere between 85mm and 80mm hence the spacer 😁
@@V8chump Thanks mate for the reply and info, extremely appreciated sir
I’ll go with the 85 I think then and try and work out the spacer
Cheers Legend 👍🏻
@@andjusticeforall8813 anytime buddy sorry for the error in the video, I shoulda caught it!
Why are your fans spaced up so high? they dont work great like that and should be as close as possible.
Nah that’s not how fans work. If you completely block either side of a fan you kill it’s performance, you need some space otherwise it basically gets choked out. The heatsink I use allows almost zero airflow if the fans are mounted directly

🙋🏻♂️Me
What’s 🆙 here?
Thanks for the like buddy! Still just trying to get the ball rollin 😅🥲
Go on 👍🏻 I like what you’re doing!
@@kevinmagiera9157 thanks! Any ideas on what you’d like to see next from the e revo, slash, granite, or scx24?
I've tried 4 times to post the link but they keep deleting the comment
Ah it’s alright I’ll probably be able to find them, I think UA-cam has something that blocks most links
@@V8chump yeah maybe. Ebay didn't have anyone selling black so you will have to look on integy's website.
It doesn't like me posting the part number either.
Just search e revo (with the space) on integy's website. The driveshafts are about midway down on the second page.
The black ones are a little below the others next to the alloy beadlock wheels.
