In this video I show you how to change out the driveshafts on an E Revo 2.0. While its not hard, it can be puzzling for some people. I hope this video clears it up!
Thanx alot for this, I almost broke the wheel hub hex nut thinking I needed to treat it like an automotive part. I did not realize there was a allen screw inside the hub assembly :)
Thanks for sharing this repair vid,..didn't break the driveshaft but it came out, popping a push rod out as well. Great tutorial to get this fixed. Many thanks!
Thanks for sharing… This will help me out if I ever need to repair it... but I have a question… People were talking about backflip tires… Are backflip tires really a thing or are they just recommended for backflips? BTW thanks for commenting and watching my video
No Problem! It was a fun video to watch. Backflip tires would be heavier tires. The more the tires and wheels weight, the easier it will be to do a backflip.
Thank you! Good to know. I just got back into the hobby. Used to play around with nitro but neighbors didn’t like the noise much 😅 I have a friend that can help if needed, but I love your channel. Always so helpful. Would you say the plastic chassis brace is going to for sure break right away? My driving style is very similar to how you drive your cars except for the smashing tvs furniture and stuff lol
@@outsourcedrc just a quick note to personally thank you for all your content you post on YT, I have watched several of your videos and really enjoy your genuine and honest videos...
@@outsourcedrc o i am sure they could do something different that's stronger. My Arrma ones have zero issues. My rear revo cups just tear after a short time. I do not use the self right as I think thats a lot where it comes from
Thx mate for Video. But at my traxxas e revo 2 which is completed stock there fall the drive Shafts out. The drive cups still good and idk there this Problem comes from. I dont want to change the drive cups... they are good.
I’m doing mine right now and when I took it out the bearing didn’t come out with it. If I look on the inner side I see a bearing. I just want to make sure that is the bearing I need and don’t want to pull it out if it’s the wrong one. Any help is appreciated.
Have you had any problems with the rear drive cups? I keep breaking mine for some reason and I was thinking if there was a better part that will last longer?
Hey man , can u make a video on how to replace the steel drive cup? Mine just broke today an I ordered a pair. But idk If u will make this video before the part comes in but if u can just show how to take it off an put it back on that would help me a lot an maybe some others others out there ! Thanks man I’ll be subscribing to your channel 👋🏻
I don't need to replace mine yet. I'll make a video when I have to do it. I have mine sitting and waiting. Its not hard. Look at the drive cup where it meets the body. Rotate the drive cup. You will see what looks like a set screw. Just remove that. The cup should come off. I didnt take mine off, but I looked at it and thats what it looked like.
Hi I have a question for you, I've asked around and no1 can give me an easy answer... So my part there keeps popping out of my front A Arms is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening over and over? I recently bought some thread locker hoping for the fix??? Help me....🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
@@outsourcedrc id like to see you post a video when you do replace them..mine havent broken yet but they are burrowing from the sides..it looks like just the set pin screw needs to be removed to replafe them..
I bent 2 axles and messed up a pinion gear in a car accident with my E-revo 2.0 hanging out the back window of my Dad's hummer after Me, my Dad, and little sister got hit by a semi truck. Thank god for military grade vehicles.
Man buy an arrma kraton and you won t have all that problems i owned aan e revo and the difference it s very big !! E revo it s a shit car in vomparision with arrma kraton !

Thanks! It can be peaceful. Its private at least.
100% I agree with u. I search this guy up for anything I need help with. Thx man

Cari S there are really backflip tires (dboots backflips). They come on the arrma outcast. They are Good tires but nothing special about iT.
Thank you for the video..I have the same exact car...so it was very simple and easy..Thank you

@@tonycostanzo7256 Thanks
Great contributions! Keep on feeding :)
The wheel wrench makes it easier to remove and tighten the set screw it fits right on the wheel hex
Yeah but I didnt need it and you cant see what I am doing if I am using it. It blocks the view.
I was just saying 😂
Nice stuff brother
crazy, I never have bent a shaft with all the abuse. The diff cups however really take a beating. Wish someone would make some stronger ones.
They are already steel. They are pretty tough as it is. I don't know how to make them stronger.
@@outsourcedrc o i am sure they could do something different that's stronger. My Arrma ones have zero issues. My rear revo cups just tear after a short time. I do not use the self right as I think thats a lot where it comes from

The drive cups still good and idk there this Problem comes from.

Make sure all your rods are tight and the pivot balls are in all the way.
I’m doing mine right now and when I took it out the bearing didn’t come out with it. If I look on the inner side I see a bearing. I just want to make sure that is the bearing I need and don’t want to pull it out if it’s the wrong one. Any help is appreciated.
I'm not sure I understand exactly. There should be two bearings. Just like in the video. An inner one that is really big and an outer one.
So the back right tire on mine looks like it’s crooked and turned in some. What would cause this ?
Thanks for the help👍.
At 2:08 i wasnt able to slide off the bearing at all, what am i doing wrong? What did i forget?
Have you had any problems with the rear drive cups? I keep breaking mine for some reason and I was thinking if there was a better part that will last longer?
I have not broken any cups yet. I do have a pair on standby because I do see that they are wearing some.
@@outsourcedrc hope you make a video of that repair
Thanks

Outsourced RC yeah I fixed it yesterday it was easy ! Thank you for replying!

You mean the pivot ball that strips out from the A Arm? You can try a CA glue. If it’s bad enough you just have to replace the A Arm
@@outsourcedrc I did and it still happens...yes the pivot ball..should I replace that?
Do a video replacing the diffs.
I have to break a diff first! These things are tough.
Where do I get those steel axles?
Local Hobby shop or Ebay. Amazon my have them.
That’s crazy I’ve never seen one brake
I keep breaking the pin on the side of the drive shaft u can't replace 4 so far sucks this is on my revo2.0
Thats weird. I havent broken one of those.
Part number of that shaft?
8650
@@outsourcedrc got it thanks!!!
so whats your final suggestion for rod ends and the shock ends
The straps fixed the shocks. I just keep an extra bag of rod ends for the push rods. Its rare I actually need one.
@@outsourcedrc so do you use the aluminum shock ends you got?
@@rotz357 Nope. Just a bag of stock plastic ones.
Have you heard of putting bumb stops in your shocks
Ever replaced the drive cup?
Nope. I've had spares sitting here waiting for my current ones to break but they have been holding up so far.
@@outsourcedrc id like to see you post a video when you do replace them..mine havent broken yet but they are burrowing from the sides..it looks like just the set pin screw needs to be removed to replafe them..
@@freddievflores9276 I'll do a video when mine breaks.
That happen to me when I want to the store ask for a upgrade part they told that is the upgrade how did I broke it 😂
I have broken a few.
I bent 2 axles and messed up a pinion gear in a car accident with my E-revo 2.0 hanging out the back window of my Dad's hummer after Me, my Dad, and little sister got hit by a semi truck. Thank god for military grade vehicles.
Wow. I hope you guys are all ok.
@@outsourcedrc Yeah we're good, just a little banged up. Thank you for asking!
Its to bad people don`t know the difference between the driveshaft and a axle.
change...not repair
kromme driveshaft
Man buy an arrma kraton and you won t have all that problems i owned aan e revo and the difference it s very big !! E revo it s a shit car in vomparision with arrma kraton !
I dont feel like hammering out a chassis after every jump.
