I received my E Revo 2.0 today. In an attempt to prevent rod end popping I put a small amount of hot glue between the rear A-arm and the chassis preventing full droop. I have ordered straps but they wont be here until after Easter. I'm hoping the batteries and charging cable arrived later today so I can try it. 🙂
@Espen Lund I got some luck with shoegoo on the RPM/Traxxas rod ends and using Traxxas sway bars to limit droop. No breaks since then. Love to hear how yours turns out.
Watch upgraded rc with an extra bumpstop in the shocks and rear metal brace it sorts the rod end issue. He is the foremost authority and knowledge base on erevo2.0vrx so he is your man for all tuning and upgrades.
Gens ace are best for the money I been using them for years man you get a high mAh and discharge rate for good price and hard case I love them I've never had one get killed yet or explode I have a set of 2s gens ace I've charged a few times a month for 3 years
Overkill RC Thanks Garrett! I love this spot but you got to see the Round 1 video vs the Round 3. Looks like two different locations. When I look at the video for Round 3, this almost looks like I'm bashing on Mars, lol.
I swapped my upgraded pushrods to my 2.0 and there actually longer witch allows the suspension to fully extend without jerking the whole wishbone system. It’s been working for me idk if it’s a permanent fix but hey 🤷♂️
@Nathaniel Van Dyke Check out my most updated video on this. ruclips.net/video/XxGfM9aaMDE/видео.html I did some more changes and I think I got it right. At least until the next break😂🤣
The erevo 2.0 has such an easy fix for the push rods. Couple zip tires to slightly limit the travel will fix it easily. I'm a fan of both Kraton and Erevo but seems like the kraton has just as many issues on this run with the wheels stripping.
@Stivine L Yup tried the zip tide method still unthreaded too. Went one step further and installed the sway bars that worked for a while. I've since traded in the E-Revo at my LHS for a TRX6. Actually the Kraton's issue was partially created by me. I'm running 1Mil in the center. The power is stripping out the wheel but these Arrma wheels are too soft for this power. I've gone back to using Pro-lines with no issues.
@@ReadySetRC surprised it still unthreaded wow. I haven't had any issues with mine the rod doesn't get to extend all the way out with the zip ties. I did break a rear toe link though from cart wheeling at full speed. I'm glad the kraton is working out for you. Definitely on top of my list to get along side the erevo.
@@FrankkMedia I even swapped to the Badlands to reduce weight and mass of the stockers. Stiffened up the rear with the metal chassis brace. I bought the new tie rods to put in when the TRX6 dropped and the price of the ERevo went up. It was like the RC gods were calling me to get the TRX6🤣
Reason why I went with the erevo over the kraton... it just works better outta the box. Has more aggressive off-road tires, has more aggressive 20m weight center diff putty, and has so much suspension travel that is light years more adjustable. . With that being said the revo needs zip ties to prevent the rear suspension from ripping apart. Either truck does an excellent job and I’m thankful that arrma pushed trax-ass to build a dramatically better erevo.
Tom Tracks Thanks for watching Tom. Funny enough if you look at Round 1 it's the same field but with the lack of rain it turned the field into a nice dirt spot to bash.
Love the my kraton but the steering servo sucks had issues with it from the time I first plugged it in now something else is wrong I’m just going to upgrade
All of the people who actually watched the video say 2 great vehicles in a great spot for both of them. All of the fanboys who have only one and don’t know the first thing about the other brand are keeping true to their fanboyness...that being said. Great video!
@Peyton Mercer Thanks bro! I could not have said it better myself. I like both trucks. The E Revo looks so aggressive and jumps extremely well with that plush suspension. Those damn turnbuckles but I've learned to carry spares. As for the Kraton, its a good truck. I did some minor tweaks for this video(Center diff fluid). What can I say it's a good time to be in the hobby. These companies are actually putting out kits that make me at least, want to buy.
Colby Murray I'm not sure I understand your statement. There is a lip on the bottom of the ramp. Please watch my other videos if you are looking for ramp placement. Placement did not impede the jumping of either truck. Thanks for watching!
I can clearly see there is no limiting straps on the back of the e revo.2.0 that's why your popping rod ends off. I've modded the shockabsorber with rubber bump stop and use kevlar cord to limit travel and all I've broken on my e revo.2.0 is the back of the body shell and rear wing top from huge tumble crashes
@Jason G Sounds like a great tip. I've done a few videos on both of these trucks. RUclips chooses this one to promote. I limit the travel by using zip ties. I also added the swaybar kit to limit travel. Sadly all remedies I have tried did not work. I have since moved on from the E-Revo 2.0 and sold it to my LHS for a TRX-6.
@@ReadySetRC i was breaking cable ties even 6mm wide ones so went with the cheapest option used the shock rebuild kit to get the blue tapered rubbers that are on the bottom of the shock shaft and put another one under the shocks piston so it cant be slammed hard into the bottom of the shock barrel as its cushioned now then used some Ham radio kevlar guy rope for antennas is only about 3mm diameter its super strong and it's easily adjustable for what ride height you want. You can tumble and roll it end on at high speed with out it ever popping a rod end off. I've purchased a pack of rod ends but never opened it .
Im trying to decide between these two but it did seem liked you brushed over the problems with the Kraton....despite multiple times wheels flying off. Thanks for the vids.
@Brad Mann Thanks for watching! The wheel issue with the the Kraton is not normal. I was caused from me increasing the center diff to 1M. So much torque to the wheels and the stripped out, which is why they kept backing off. I have more recent videos on both trucks. Hopefully that can give you a better idea on either one. I would recommend the last Kraton bash ruclips.net/video/7IG6QFx6wbQ/видео.html and the VLOG video we did for the E-Revo ruclips.net/video/XxGfM9aaMDE/видео.html.
@@ReadySetRC Thank You for that info and the link I will do. And yes that seems to be a common upgrade is changing the center diff fluid to that weight. I watched another vid where he did the same thing because the Kraton wouldn't climb a curb where the E REVO would.... Because the Kraton was "diffing out" and would not climb it. I didn't notice any other vids of it losing wheels that was a first but I have saw other vids of people changing the fluid but with 500k weight. I would lean more to the 1M as you did. I think I read that is what's in the E REVO. My thoughts is both vehicles seem to have their moments of breakage. This Rustler 4x4 VXL is only experience I've had with the traxxus and it's been very durable! And I have thrashed it hard. Just on the fence between the two... One thing makes me hesitant is finding parts for the Arrma to where a Traxxus has the advantage on that aspect. But I could be wrong.
@Brad Mann Don't let parts support shy you from the Arrma. If you are located in the US it is readily available at most hobby stores and online. Arrma is owned by Horizon Hobby the same company that owns Losi. Tons of support behind them and there are a tons of aftermarket parts for the Arrma as well. I think the E-Revo is a nice truck as well but needs some more financial investment to get it to the point where it is reliable. I know the price points are not even close but if I had to do it all over again I would buy the X-Maxx and pass on the E-Revo.
@@ReadySetRC OK thank you for the input and advice. Very much appreciated. How is the power compared to the E REVO? It seems from vids, the Revo is more responsive and wheelie capable initially until a person puts the heavier oil in the center diff of the Kraton. Also I have heard the tires on the Kraton are Terrible for traction and balloon out too easily. Seeing one person have a tire tear while playing in grass.
@@Letsroll000 Totally agree not a fan of the Kraton stock wheels. The Kraton will wheelie on command. Once I put the 1M in, the nose kept down more but still wheelies, just stopped ballooning those front tires. Power wise, I think both are very capable. Not sure I would say one is better than the other.
@mcsckckc No issues with part support for the Kraton. There is tons of third party support for them and Horizon Hobby owns Arrma, tons of parts through them.
Awesome video! It seems like they both have their annoying issues, hopefully you will find a way to resolve them! I just ordered some RPM ends for the Erevo, I'll let you know how they work. Thanks for the great video!
Jack Gessler Great, let me know what you think. I'm going to use up all my E-Revo rod ends pack while testing some things but the RPM ones are on my list. Thanks for your support!
Jack Gessler hey guys I've used them and they've pulled out just like the stock ones. It's pretty much manadatory to have extras on hand..it's apart of the Erevo. I ended up getting an Xmaxx as my main basher. Can take a licking and keep kicking.
@Espen Lund I Shoegooed the Traxxas rod ends and they still popped off. I've since Shoegooed the RPM rod ends and no issues so far. It's on the VLOG video of the E-Revo.
Funny i've never seen a ARRMA wheel ever come off unless its user error but when its driven by a TRAXXAS fan (not saying you) or in a duel with a TRAXXAS the ARRMA tends to fling wheels off. I do off road speeds with my Kraton putting way more torq into my wheels with a 1480kv motor with a 21t and i never had one wheel come off nor have i ever touched the (stock) wheel nuts for a good 10 plus runs and never used loctite. Make sure you got the nut on the right side because people in the ARRMA forums said they never had issues with the wheels. But anyhoo, nice vid, prob one of the few unbiased vids with ARRMA and TRAXXAS in the same vid. I like the Kraton because its built good, simple, clean and way way easy to work on and so so many parts for upgrades thats not even needed. To brake the Kraton you will need to purposefully try to break it like Kevin Talbot did while he babies his E-Revo when he bashes in all his other E-revo vids
Fem Latra Trust me this is the first time ever happening to me as well. The locking side was down and I even tighten them on the video but there was a few things not shown. The wheels actually stripped out, which may have aided the cause plus after round two I added 1M diff fluid which gave more torque to the wheels. I think those two combo's may have caused it. Funny enough no one ever comments about how short the ERevo is on the video. That's because it broke in 5 minutes, lol! Rod ends as usual. Totally agree the Kraton has been a tank for me. I need to get a follow up run with the truck. Just too many kits and too little time. Thanks for watching.
@Noobz Threefortyseven Thanks for watching and appreciate all the feedback. Love that setup. I'm still running 1M in the center. Gives me just enough power to the front. I started running the LP Backflips on this, by far the best tire I ever ran on the Kraton. Funny enough I no longer use the stock hex wrench for no reason other than I can not find it😁 I do agree I started using my 1:1 tools on my RC , just love the way it feels.
Lol, what are you talking about. He thrashed his erevo vs kraton, maxx, and xmaxx and it did just fine... but there were a bunch of broken arrma. . He literally throws the erevo into his defender at the end. Lol. . ruclips.net/video/78o8dnmFbAg/видео.html
That's a lie mate the first jump he did with the kraton it broke to pieces stuff flying everywhere. You obviously have not seen his first video where he put the revo through he'll and couldn't kill It. Since then he has put arms on backwards and it was even pointed out to him. Plus look at all the chassis he bent motors he broke through slapping against the body. He can't even centre the servos properly and maintain the revo as it's meant to be. He has also upgraded everything possible to try and fix the kraton problem but nothing works. He even solastics underneath the motors and not even that works. Don't make assumptions without the proper info
Btyd Rc That's a good question. Right now after everything I've gone through with both trucks, I have to favor the Kraton. That's taking in consideration the price, where I like to bash, how I like to bash and dependability.
@Nanoman I hear you. I think I created the issue though. That 1M diff fluid just gave direct torque to those wheels. But I have blue Loctite since then.
CAMO RC !! Thanks for watching. I'm working on the rear now. You could be on to something. I'm think just too much weight on these rod ends, plus the amount of travel, equals to broken rod ends.
@Mike anderson Is that two 3S batteries? I'm not sure which one you are looking at but either one should be good just as long as you know what you are going into before you buy. Kraton is a tank but I found not the best in grassy area's like my round 2 video. Front will diff out on you is why people switch out the diff fluid in the center. Wheels are less than desirable. Great jumper and basher. The E-Revo will need some tuning to get it to be durable but it's a nice jumper. If you don't mind the testing, research and wrenching it's not a bad truck. Tons of power. Hope this helps.
@@Backyardwrenching1243 My son has a TR-MT10E, loves it. We did some videos a while back with my LST XXL2E. Also some with my brothers Slash 2WD. Early days with the channel. Don't have the SC10E but heard great things about it.
G Doris Thanks for the advice. I actually like the punch on this now and with the 1M diff in the center, it's giving just enough power to the front that the steering has improved.
@@ReadySetRC I have my punch on level 7 on the Kraton. But that is with 500K diff oil in the center. I think I will try 1million too sometimes. In my Outcast I will keep 500K for sure. I have the punch on 9 in the Outcast. It is better for stunt type of driving
@@wallysrcdemolition2642 Glad you asked. Most times I'm not full out throttle. Most times it's half throttle for the fact I'm trying to keep the nose down. Thanks for watching👍👍
chris aragon I can't speak on the DBXL-e. Never owned that truck. I would suggest researching what it currently has in all diff's and increase from there.
@Jayden Seyler I'm not going to say which one is better, I rather leave that up to the viewers to decide for themselves. But do I recommend the Traxxas, yes. It's a good basher. It will require some wrenching, trial and error to get it to be a solid performer. Both trucks I've done a review video that will state my points on each. Thanks for watching👍
REAL FORGI Couple of reasons. There is 1m diff oil in the center now and that is giving more power to the wheels. Because of this I will need to add Loctite which should address this.
That is the 3 Video I've been seeing, where the Kraton loose his Wheels. Also in the Videos from Kevin Talbot and German RC Playground. 🤔 (sorry for the bad English)
@@florian7039 Yes and I start RC with a Carson Rock Warrior 2. Now I want to Buy an better Car and I'm not sure which I should buy. Actually the Kraton is my favorite :)
@@wodokay oh Hey komme aus Österreich ja ich fahre einen Carson fy10 bin auch am überlegen mir einen kraton zu kaufen. Habe zur Zeit Probleme mit dem Ritzelspiel
Yo had the same nonsense with the nuts backing off on my talion v3... I hadn't noticed the stock nuts are sarated on one side and not the other - after losing line 3 I realized it and started making sure I put them on in the right direction and didn't buy plain ones - no more issues and I don't use locktite... BTW - put a set of Shockwaves if you like to power slide or trenchers if you want killer traction on the kraton - as far as the rod ends on the ERBE - not much to fix that IMHO - bit3 sure of you have the sway bar kit on the revo but if not - you should add it (looked like you didn't have the kit installed as the body roll was awful like the 1.0 was stock) - Kool vid - thx for sharing about the 1mil diff oil in the c-diff on the kraton... Been considering that for my talion to stop it from unloading in the front
I installed the Shockwaves as soon as I got home. So true I love how they powerslide. Yeah, I'm almost done with the erevo. I used shoe goo and industrial adhesive to keep the rodends on an still no good. Going to try the sway bars but the truck is just flawed. Never once has this happened on my Summit. Could be the added power too. Thanks for watching and the advice!
kraton wheel flies off twice, strips, still compliments it. breaks a rod end on erevo, claims its trash. Biased much? Any vehicle will break landing it like you are my man...
@Ben Provost I love when people say I'm bias🤣😂 By this point this is the 4th video of the erevo and the third of the kraton. At this video this is the third time this part has broken plus was having issues with the Traxxas link in this video with this truck. Check out my vlog video of just the erovo and I'm bias🤔 Please tell me when I called any of these trucks trash in this video! Lastly I disagree on RC's breaking like this. I have probably one of the largest RC collections on RUclips. MT's from all of the following brands Traxxas, Losi, Cen, Arrma, Pro-line and Redcat. On none of my MT's has the same part broken over and over on almost every run. It seems people who are bias towards a brand never seem to want to hear anything negative about their brand.
dude your sounding REALLY biased......even though the Kraton has lost wheels several times your still bashing the traxxas for the radio???? really? The tires and rims are horrible on the kraton which you have no problem replacing, but replacing revo rod ends with rpm is a major deal????...... Decent video even with your horrible driving skills........just sayin. Thanks for the vid, you helped my decision a lot.
Brian Howard I'm glad I helped your decision and thanks for watching. Have you watched all of my videos with this E-Revo if you have you would not think I'm biased at all. First, this is not the first time I have replaced the rod end. I've bashed this truck on an off video and out of ten times I have bashed it, only once has it not broke the rod ends. Check out my Instagram, I've replaced the rear brace with metal, wheels to lessen weight, shogoo'd and used construction adhesive to hold it, sway bar and zipped tied to limit the droop. Last is the RPM rod ends which I just bought nothing works. As for the Kraton, I added 1m diff fluid to the center diff and that is why the wheels popped off. More power to the wheels. I really wish when you do make your comments you do your home work. Surely I have. As for the Traxxas link, don't get me started. Lastly I've seen your videos, I would not comment on anyone's driving, just saying😂🤣😂🤣!
@@ReadySetRC no prob. Im no professional. Sorry dont mean to be an ass. I have not watched your other vids this one just seamed biased. I am in search for another 8th scale and i have had good luck with traxxas. Rpm seams to fix MY trx problems and they are super cheap vs wheels n tires. Thats all. We both need to work on our driving to be fair.
Brian Howard No worries brother. I'm a big Traxxas fan. Between my son and I we own 9 Traxxas RC's. One of my favorite RC's is my Summit. My Summit has never broken one part. Not one! I bash that truck in the coldest weather. I bought a pack of the new Traxxas rod ends, part #8647, I went threw the entire pack in two bash sessions. Don't get me wrong, I want to really like this truck but when I jump it off ramps it breaks in less than 5 minutes. I even have two videos I have not even edited because the videos was so short due to the truck breaking. I may just add all the videos to make one. Look at my round two video, got a really good session with the truck. The best yet but no ramps. Yeah, something about talking and driving need to get better with that. When I shut up and drive, that's when I can keep the trucks straight 😁!
@@ReadySetRC i have found that playing with the setup helps a lot. Mainly the camber and caster. I have an old Ofna X2 truggy that i converted to electric, couldn't drive for sh@t. After breaking out the setup tool, and a couple of hrs of fine tuning, i got it where it would turn sharp and still go straight on 4s. Now i just need to fab a thicker motor mount to keep mt mesh straight.
A hobby shop owner once said. I can give u a truck and live off with you buying me parts for it. Traxxas mind set of making things. So as other companies but not as obvious with traxxas.
I am new too this hobby... but I had already been thinking that you might be able to bring a car to a 3D printing place and have them copy all the relevant parts in a high grade aerospace composite plastic that would be nearly indestructible. You would have the files for them to print you spare parts if you needed them. With the right car, that could have all the right parts made out of aerospace materiels… it might be almost indestructible and actually cost less in the end. Haha!
@@kavikkang9411 what do you think a custom 3d print out of ''aerospace'' material (what material exactly, what printing technology are you talking about) would cost? A lot. Even custom prints from FDM printers (I actually have one at home and they're fairly cheap and easy to use) cost some money.
@@ELValeninYou'd have to look into it, it would probably be very expensive to use even what you could get your hands on. Aerospace composite materials would be very expensive. The easiest example would be using titanium in place of aluminum... but titanium is extremely expensive, like any aerospace materials are going to be. But these are the materials that are the combination of strongest and lightest weight that exist in the world.
@@ELValenin No, I was using that as an example of something to use in place of aluminum. I'm sure some of the composite materials could be 3D printed... the ones that aren't still secret. It would probably cost a lot... but it would be one tough car, haha.
@Korey Blair These are skate ramps meant to go behind each other with a table in the center. They have a lip at the bottom for support. They can not go any closer than what you are seeing. I've been using them for 4+ years no issues at all like this.
@ecoboost rules I disagree, that was done in this video and both rodends broke. Also the metal chassis brace is on in this video. I also put sway bars on after this video and shoegoo on the rodends and put RPM rodends on. Same issue.
@@ReadySetRC if it was you would think that you would have stated that in your video or showed it. By the angles of your rear arms when your showing the broken rod end I'm gonna call bs on that you have it done here. If you do you need to pull it up more. Doesnt look like it's done at all. Some people just need to learn how to drive also. Ya cant jump them and have them cartwheel and flip and flop all over the ground at 30-40 mph and expect that little plastic piece to hold up. I have 2 of them and know lots of guys that have them and I personally have never seen it happen in any of our trucks. Actually 1 time but that was bc he hit something directly with the wheel and hard. Guess I would rather have something simple and pennies on the dollar break than have it hold and start snapping a arms or worse. My local hobby store sells both arma and traxxas and they praise traxxas over arma big time. Just saying. If ya treat them right and dont expect the unexpected from them they are all good now days.
@@ReadySetRC sorry to hear that. Traxxas makes the best rc's out there. Have had them almost my whole life. Have also had other brands that I didnt like.
@J D And I agree but the E-Revo broke 5 minutes into the run. I did my best to make it look longer. Even though the video looks like I swap back and forth with each vehicle, I actually do a full run with one and then with the other then edit to give the viewer a better experience. IMO round one or two, even the individual runs I did are better but RUclips chooses this video to pump out to the masses😂
vuthina roeun I need to loctite the wheels. I did not have this problem before putting 1M diff in the center. It's a lot of power now. Great improvement. Just need to keep the wheels on, lol! Thanks for watching.
Lol he probably doesn't have the wheel nuts on the right way. They are serrated on one side. I've never lost a wheel. Matter fact, they are a pain to even get off lol
@Clint Macas I hear you brother. It's been done. with new wheels. I have a more recent video Kraton with the new wheels and no rolling tire😁 Check it out if you have a chance ruclips.net/video/7IG6QFx6wbQ/видео.html
tommyd3jr Trust me man, I know. It was the second thing I did, lol. 1st thing was replacing the wheels since the rims were stripped out. Weird thing is this did not happen on the first two runs. Check them out if you have a moment. Only thing different was the 1M diff fluid in the center. I think that is putting more direct power to those wheels. Either way I love this truck. Thanks for watching!
Ready Set RC thx for the content! yeah i never had a problem losing wheel nuts (17mm) until i got into 6s.. i bet ur right, the torque must jar them loose
l Joie l Nope, the wheel is rounded off in the Kraton. With the 1Mill center diff, I'm putting a lot of power down and I've gone through a couple of Arrma wheels at this point. No issues with Pro-line wheels🤔
Ready Set RC loved my revo learned keep the steel suspension links aluminum are nice but they break too easily. Also if you can mechanically limit the droop of the arms those plastic buckles shouldn't pull out.
@@Roryrocco Funny enough, I zipped tied them to limit droop but same effect. Even shoegoo'd the rod end same deal. Trying the sway bars and RPM long rod ends from the v1.
Gosh you arrma blokes talk so much crap you know nothing about obviously. Im done with the arguments. It's like Holden vs Ford crap. It's a hobby and any car setup properly can last. My erevo is bulletproof
Great videos! My 2.0 also got loose and breaking those same pieces. It only stopped doing that when I coated the original parts with carbon fiber. I used one of those cheap surfboard repair kits and ... it worked! Here's the video I made about it: ruclips.net/video/grQ-GZXVUwc/видео.html
@Aaron Lujan I would agree🤣😂 This was the third and the worst running of both rigs. No idea why RUclips Algorithm chooses this video to pump out but Round One and Two, even the other videos I've done on both vehicles are better than this.
I have one and it jumps the best by far out of the 20 or so rc trucks I have had. I can launch it 15 feet in the air, for 60 feet doing backflips. And it hasn't broken a single thing in the year I've had it.
@RC X You gathered that from one video. I do agree not my best driving in this video but that is not the point of the video. I could say horrible videography on your videos but that is not the point on your videos, you're trying to show the race, correct. Little less negativity goes a long way.
I received my E Revo 2.0 today. In an attempt to prevent rod end popping I put a small amount of hot glue between the rear A-arm and the chassis preventing full droop. I have ordered straps but they wont be here until after Easter. I'm hoping the batteries and charging cable arrived later today so I can try it. 🙂
@Espen Lund
I got some luck with shoegoo on the RPM/Traxxas rod ends and using Traxxas sway bars to limit droop. No breaks since then. Love to hear how yours turns out.
Watch upgraded rc with a extra bumpstop in the shocks and the metal rear brace its sorted
I ended up gluing the rod ends with Locktite All Plastics. Have held up so far. I broke the hoop of one in a gnarly crash and had to burn it off. 😁
Watch upgraded rc with an extra bumpstop in the shocks and rear metal brace it sorts the rod end issue. He is the foremost authority and knowledge base on erevo2.0vrx so he is your man for all tuning and upgrades.
I already told you what to do and where to learn how. Trust me I have erevo 2.0vrx and have all problems solved
Gens ace are best for the money I been using them for years man you get a high mAh and discharge rate for good price and hard case I love them I've never had one get killed yet or explode I have a set of 2s gens ace I've charged a few times a month for 3 years

@THEIRISHAXE 👍👍
Two awesome vehicles and a great location to bash! Love it! 😎
Overkill RC Thanks Garrett! I love this spot but you got to see the Round 1 video vs the Round 3. Looks like two different locations. When I look at the video for Round 3, this almost looks like I'm bashing on Mars, lol.
I swapped my upgraded pushrods to my 2.0 and there actually longer witch allows the suspension to fully extend without jerking the whole wishbone system. It’s been working for me idk if it’s a permanent fix but hey 🤷♂️
@Nathaniel Van Dyke Check out my most updated video on this. ruclips.net/video/XxGfM9aaMDE/видео.html I did some more changes and I think I got it right. At least until the next break😂🤣
The erevo 2.0 has such an easy fix for the push rods. Couple zip tires to slightly limit the travel will fix it easily. I'm a fan of both Kraton and Erevo but seems like the kraton has just as many issues on this run with the wheels stripping.
@Stivine L
Yup tried the zip tide method still unthreaded too. Went one step further and installed the sway bars that worked for a while. I've since traded in the E-Revo at my LHS for a TRX6. Actually the Kraton's issue was partially created by me. I'm running 1Mil in the center. The power is stripping out the wheel but these Arrma wheels are too soft for this power. I've gone back to using Pro-lines with no issues.
@@ReadySetRC surprised it still unthreaded wow. I haven't had any issues with mine the rod doesn't get to extend all the way out with the zip ties. I did break a rear toe link though from cart wheeling at full speed. I'm glad the kraton is working out for you. Definitely on top of my list to get along side the erevo.
@@FrankkMedia I even swapped to the Badlands to reduce weight and mass of the stockers. Stiffened up the rear with the metal chassis brace. I bought the new tie rods to put in when the TRX6 dropped and the price of the ERevo went up. It was like the RC gods were calling me to get the TRX6🤣
Just purchased my Kraton finally

Congrats bro! You are going to love this kit👍
Ready Set RC thanks
@@jm-jm7yl How has it been I'm thinking about getting the kraton or senton 6s
Listerine Deeper clean Than brushing alone love it arma kraton is a blast
Listerine Deeper clean Than brushing alone only thing I recommend is upgrade on the steering servo. But still kraton is good
Reason why I went with the erevo over the kraton... it just works better outta the box. Has more aggressive off-road tires, has more aggressive 20m weight center diff putty, and has so much suspension travel that is light years more adjustable.
.
With that being said the revo needs zip ties to prevent the rear suspension from ripping apart. Either truck does an excellent job and I’m thankful that arrma pushed trax-ass to build a dramatically better erevo.
@Firestarter So true.
I'm getting exb kraton with max 6 and heavy diff oil. Some shims too for good measure. Lol.
Wow that is a nice spot man! I like the open dirt field. Great job👍💯😃
Tom Tracks Thanks for watching Tom. Funny enough if you look at Round 1 it's the same field but with the lack of rain it turned the field into a nice dirt spot to bash.
Dude why couldn’t you hit the damn ramp with the E Revo like you were doing the Kraton for like 7 jump possibilities? I WAS SCREAMING AT MY PHONE
@Peyton Mercer
🤣😂 Trust me I tried! Actually the E Revo broke early in this video but I kept on running it.
Love the my kraton but the steering servo sucks had issues with it from the time I first plugged it in now something else is wrong I’m just going to upgrade
Never had an issue with the servo
All of the people who actually watched the video say 2 great vehicles in a great spot for both of them. All of the fanboys who have only one and don’t know the first thing about the other brand are keeping true to their fanboyness...that being said. Great video!
@Peyton Mercer
Thanks bro! I could not have said it better myself. I like both trucks. The E Revo looks so aggressive and jumps extremely well with that plush suspension. Those damn turnbuckles but I've learned to carry spares. As for the Kraton, its a good truck. I did some minor tweaks for this video(Center diff fluid). What can I say it's a good time to be in the hobby. These companies are actually putting out kits that make me at least, want to buy.
Kreton are rubbish
I think these cars are both great but I still like the kraton great vid
War-Robots Beast-Gaming Thanks for watching! I'm leaning towards the Kraton as well.
Thanks hope you have fun driving rc cars
You should get a sheet of plywood. Cut it accordingly and screw the ramps into the plywood beside eachother. Worked perfectly for me !
👍👍
Put the ramps side by side, they should touch each other
Colby Murray I'm not sure I understand your statement. There is a lip on the bottom of the ramp. Please watch my other videos if you are looking for ramp placement. Placement did not impede the jumping of either truck. Thanks for watching!
I can clearly see there is no limiting straps on the back of the e revo.2.0 that's why your popping rod ends off.
I've modded the shockabsorber with rubber bump stop and use kevlar cord to limit travel and all I've broken on my e revo.2.0 is the back of the body shell and rear wing top from huge tumble crashes
@Jason G
Sounds like a great tip. I've done a few videos on both of these trucks. RUclips chooses this one to promote. I limit the travel by using zip ties. I also added the swaybar kit to limit travel. Sadly all remedies I have tried did not work. I have since moved on from the E-Revo 2.0 and sold it to my LHS for a TRX-6.
@@ReadySetRC i was breaking cable ties even 6mm wide ones so went with the cheapest option used the shock rebuild kit to get the blue tapered rubbers that are on the bottom of the shock shaft and put another one under the shocks piston so it cant be slammed hard into the bottom of the shock barrel as its cushioned now then used some Ham radio kevlar guy rope for antennas is only about 3mm diameter its super strong and it's easily adjustable for what ride height you want.
You can tumble and roll it end on at high speed with out it ever popping a rod end off. I've purchased a pack of rod ends but never opened it .
Im trying to decide between these two but it did seem liked you brushed over the problems with the Kraton....despite multiple times wheels flying off. Thanks for the vids.
@Brad Mann
Thanks for watching! The wheel issue with the the Kraton is not normal. I was caused from me increasing the center diff to 1M. So much torque to the wheels and the stripped out, which is why they kept backing off. I have more recent videos on both trucks. Hopefully that can give you a better idea on either one. I would recommend the last Kraton bash ruclips.net/video/7IG6QFx6wbQ/видео.html and the VLOG video we did for the E-Revo ruclips.net/video/XxGfM9aaMDE/видео.html.
@@ReadySetRC Thank You for that info and the link I will do. And yes that seems to be a common upgrade is changing the center diff fluid to that weight. I watched another vid where he did the same thing because the Kraton wouldn't climb a curb where the E REVO would.... Because the Kraton was "diffing out" and would not climb it. I didn't notice any other vids of it losing wheels that was a first but I have saw other vids of people changing the fluid but with 500k weight. I would lean more to the 1M as you did. I think I read that is what's in the E REVO.
My thoughts is both vehicles seem to have their moments of breakage. This Rustler 4x4 VXL is only experience I've had with the traxxus and it's been very durable! And I have thrashed it hard.
Just on the fence between the two... One thing makes me hesitant is finding parts for the Arrma to where a Traxxus has the advantage on that aspect. But I could be wrong.
@Brad Mann Don't let parts support shy you from the Arrma. If you are located in the US it is readily available at most hobby stores and online. Arrma is owned by Horizon Hobby the same company that owns Losi. Tons of support behind them and there are a tons of aftermarket parts for the Arrma as well. I think the E-Revo is a nice truck as well but needs some more financial investment to get it to the point where it is reliable. I know the price points are not even close but if I had to do it all over again I would buy the X-Maxx and pass on the E-Revo.
@@ReadySetRC OK thank you for the input and advice. Very much appreciated. How is the power compared to the E REVO?
It seems from vids, the Revo is more responsive and wheelie capable initially until a person puts the heavier oil in the center diff of the Kraton. Also I have heard the tires on the Kraton are Terrible for traction and balloon out too easily. Seeing one person have a tire tear while playing in grass.
@@Letsroll000 Totally agree not a fan of the Kraton stock wheels. The Kraton will wheelie on command. Once I put the 1M in, the nose kept down more but still wheelies, just stopped ballooning those front tires. Power wise, I think both are very capable. Not sure I would say one is better than the other.
What is parts availability and support like for the Krayton? I think I’m leaning towards the Krayton just concerned about long term parts replacement
@mcsckckc No issues with part support for the Kraton. There is tons of third party support for them and Horizon Hobby owns Arrma, tons of parts through them.
Awesome video! It seems like they both have their annoying issues, hopefully you will find a way to resolve them! I just ordered some RPM ends for the Erevo, I'll let you know how they work. Thanks for the great video!
Jack Gessler Great, let me know what you think. I'm going to use up all my E-Revo rod ends pack while testing some things but the RPM ones are on my list. Thanks for your support!
Jack Gessler hey guys I've used them and they've pulled out just like the stock ones. It's pretty much manadatory to have extras on hand..it's apart of the Erevo. I ended up getting an Xmaxx as my main basher. Can take a licking and keep kicking.
Good stuff brother. Keep up the great vids👍👍
Kenny mph Melanko Thanks brother👍👍!
Have you tried gluing the rod ends?
@Espen Lund I Shoegooed the Traxxas rod ends and they still popped off. I've since Shoegooed the RPM rod ends and no issues so far. It's on the VLOG video of the E-Revo.
Great comparison brother you cant beat those 2 rigs RcFam4Life 🤜🤛🤝👊🏎💯😎💪
@TRU BOYZ RC Thanks bro👍👍
@@ReadySetRC your welcome brother 💯🏎👊
Funny i've never seen a ARRMA wheel ever come off unless its user error but when its driven by a TRAXXAS fan (not saying you) or in a duel with a TRAXXAS the ARRMA tends to fling wheels off. I do off road speeds with my Kraton putting way more torq into my wheels with a 1480kv motor with a 21t and i never had one wheel come off nor have i ever touched the (stock) wheel nuts for a good 10 plus runs and never used loctite. Make sure you got the nut on the right side because people in the ARRMA forums said they never had issues with the wheels.
But anyhoo, nice vid, prob one of the few unbiased vids with ARRMA and TRAXXAS in the same vid. I like the Kraton because its built good, simple, clean and way way easy to work on and so so many parts for upgrades thats not even needed. To brake the Kraton you will need to purposefully try to break it like Kevin Talbot did while he babies his E-Revo when he bashes in all his other E-revo vids
Fem Latra Trust me this is the first time ever happening to me as well. The locking side was down and I even tighten them on the video but there was a few things not shown. The wheels actually stripped out, which may have aided the cause plus after round two I added 1M diff fluid which gave more torque to the wheels. I think those two combo's may have caused it.
Funny enough no one ever comments about how short the ERevo is on the video. That's because it broke in 5 minutes, lol! Rod ends as usual.
Totally agree the Kraton has been a tank for me. I need to get a follow up run with the truck. Just too many kits and too little time. Thanks for watching.
@Noobz Threefortyseven Thanks for watching and appreciate all the feedback. Love that setup. I'm still running 1M in the center. Gives me just enough power to the front. I started running the LP Backflips on this, by far the best tire I ever ran on the Kraton. Funny enough I no longer use the stock hex wrench for no reason other than I can not find it😁 I do agree I started using my 1:1 tools on my RC , just love the way it feels.
Lol, what are you talking about. He thrashed his erevo vs kraton, maxx, and xmaxx and it did just fine... but there were a bunch of broken arrma.
.
He literally throws the erevo into his defender at the end. Lol.
.
ruclips.net/video/78o8dnmFbAg/видео.html
That's a lie mate the first jump he did with the kraton it broke to pieces stuff flying everywhere. You obviously have not seen his first video where he put the revo through he'll and couldn't kill It. Since then he has put arms on backwards and it was even pointed out to him. Plus look at all the chassis he bent motors he broke through slapping against the body. He can't even centre the servos properly and maintain the revo as it's meant to be. He has also upgraded everything possible to try and fix the kraton problem but nothing works. He even solastics underneath the motors and not even that works. Don't make assumptions without the proper info
after test these both， return to beginning， which u will buy 1st？or 1st to consider to get ？
Btyd Rc That's a good question. Right now after everything I've gone through with both trucks, I have to favor the Kraton. That's taking in consideration the price, where I like to bash, how I like to bash and dependability.
Ready Set RC ok， i get it， thanks ya
I haven't even driven my V4 Kraton yet. I'll do that during lunch break 😂. I put blue loctite on my wheels because I got tired of that.
@Nanoman I hear you. I think I created the issue though. That 1M diff fluid just gave direct torque to those wheels. But I have blue Loctite since then.
@@ReadySetRC I personally use 500k in the center diff of my Arrma rigs.
Great vid 👍🏻👍🏻 The ERevo needs some droopies !!! Those arms are pulling on the rods big time 😁🤟
CAMO RC !! Thanks for watching. I'm working on the rear now. You could be on to something. I'm think just too much weight on these rod ends, plus the amount of travel, equals to broken rod ends.
I'm looking to buy one of these tomorrow the guy has a 3s battery that comes with it will it work with it or is it worth it?
@Mike anderson Is that two 3S batteries? I'm not sure which one you are looking at but either one should be good just as long as you know what you are going into before you buy. Kraton is a tank but I found not the best in grassy area's like my round 2 video. Front will diff out on you is why people switch out the diff fluid in the center. Wheels are less than desirable. Great jumper and basher. The E-Revo will need some tuning to get it to be durable but it's a nice jumper. If you don't mind the testing, research and wrenching it's not a bad truck. Tons of power. Hope this helps.
its the 2017 model and theres 2 3s batteries, whats the run time on this item?
Cheers

@Jayden Seyler I'm not going to say which one is better, I rather leave that up to the viewers to decide for themselves. But do I recommend the Traxxas, yes. It's a good basher.

Tried that as well. I recently sold this RC. Thanks for watching!
Yo had the same nonsense with the nuts backing off on my talion v3... I hadn't noticed the stock nuts are sarated on one side and not the other - after losing line 3 I realized it and started making sure I put them on in the right direction and didn't buy plain ones - no more issues and I don't use locktite... BTW - put a set of Shockwaves if you like to power slide or trenchers if you want killer traction on the kraton - as far as the rod ends on the ERBE - not much to fix that IMHO - bit3 sure of you have the sway bar kit on the revo but if not - you should add it (looked like you didn't have the kit installed as the body roll was awful like the 1.0 was stock) - Kool vid - thx for sharing about the 1mil diff oil in the c-diff on the kraton... Been considering that for my talion to stop it from unloading in the front
I installed the Shockwaves as soon as I got home. So true I love how they powerslide. Yeah, I'm almost done with the erevo. I used shoe goo and industrial adhesive to keep the rodends on an still no good. Going to try the sway bars but the truck is just flawed. Never once has this happened on my Summit. Could be the added power too. Thanks for watching and the advice!
That wheel was hilarious!!!!
If you beat it it will break. Not the nut but in general.......

Man flip that revo.
😂🤣
kraton wheel flies off twice, strips, still compliments it. breaks a rod end on erevo, claims its trash. Biased much? Any vehicle will break landing it like you are my man...
@Ben Provost I love when people say I'm bias🤣😂 By this point this is the 4th video of the erevo and the third of the kraton. At this video this is the third time this part has broken plus was having issues with the Traxxas link in this video with this truck. Check out my vlog video of just the erovo and I'm bias🤔 Please tell me when I called any of these trucks trash in this video! Lastly I disagree on RC's breaking like this. I have probably one of the largest RC collections on RUclips. MT's from all of the following brands Traxxas, Losi, Cen, Arrma, Pro-line and Redcat. On none of my MT's has the same part broken over and over on almost every run. It seems people who are bias towards a brand never seem to want to hear anything negative about their brand.
Wow very nice jump big thumbs up my friend XD
IN MG RC [인엠쥐 RC] Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great bashing! :)
Remote Addicted I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching.
dude your sounding REALLY biased......even though the Kraton has lost wheels several times your still bashing the traxxas for the radio???? really? The tires and rims are horrible on the kraton which you have no problem replacing, but replacing revo rod ends with rpm is a major deal????...... Decent video even with your horrible driving skills........just sayin. Thanks for the vid, you helped my decision a lot.
Brian Howard I'm glad I helped your decision and thanks for watching. Have you watched all of my videos with this E-Revo if you have you would not think I'm biased at all. First, this is not the first time I have replaced the rod end. I've bashed this truck on an off video and out of ten times I have bashed it, only once has it not broke the rod ends. Check out my Instagram, I've replaced the rear brace with metal, wheels to lessen weight, shogoo'd and used construction adhesive to hold it, sway bar and zipped tied to limit the droop. Last is the RPM rod ends which I just bought nothing works. As for the Kraton, I added 1m diff fluid to the center diff and that is why the wheels popped off. More power to the wheels. I really wish when you do make your comments you do your home work. Surely I have. As for the Traxxas link, don't get me started. Lastly I've seen your videos, I would not comment on anyone's driving, just saying😂🤣😂🤣!
@@ReadySetRC no prob. Im no professional. Sorry dont mean to be an ass. I have not watched your other vids this one just seamed biased. I am in search for another 8th scale and i have had good luck with traxxas. Rpm seams to fix MY trx problems and they are super cheap vs wheels n tires. Thats all. We both need to work on our driving to be fair.
Brian Howard No worries brother. I'm a big Traxxas fan. Between my son and I we own 9 Traxxas RC's. One of my favorite RC's is my Summit. My Summit has never broken one part. Not one! I bash that truck in the coldest weather. I bought a pack of the new Traxxas rod ends, part #8647, I went threw the entire pack in two bash sessions. Don't get me wrong, I want to really like this truck but when I jump it off ramps it breaks in less than 5 minutes. I even have two videos I have not even edited because the videos was so short due to the truck breaking. I may just add all the videos to make one. Look at my round two video, got a really good session with the truck. The best yet but no ramps. Yeah, something about talking and driving need to get better with that. When I shut up and drive, that's when I can keep the trucks straight 😁!
@@ReadySetRC i have found that playing with the setup helps a lot. Mainly the camber and caster. I have an old Ofna X2 truggy that i converted to electric, couldn't drive for sh@t. After breaking out the setup tool, and a couple of hrs of fine tuning, i got it where it would turn sharp and still go straight on 4s. Now i just need to fab a thicker motor mount to keep mt mesh straight.
Helps to tighten the wheel nuts
If I take an Arrma I just can use my 20 years old Thunder Tiger EK4....there nothing new on this truck. Build like a 40 years old 1:8th Nitro
@Arcade Collectors Europe But could that be said about the Revo too. Revo was 2004 and the E-Revo was 2009. Regardless if a design works it works.
A hobby shop owner once said. I can give u a truck and live off with you buying me parts for it. Traxxas mind set of making things. So as other companies but not as obvious with traxxas.
I am new too this hobby... but I had already been thinking that you might be able to bring a car to a 3D printing place and have them copy all the relevant parts in a high grade aerospace composite plastic that would be nearly indestructible. You would have the files for them to print you spare parts if you needed them. With the right car, that could have all the right parts made out of aerospace materiels… it might be almost indestructible and actually cost less in the end. Haha!
@@kavikkang9411 what do you think a custom 3d print out of ''aerospace'' material (what material exactly, what printing technology are you talking about) would cost? A lot. Even custom prints from FDM printers (I actually have one at home and they're fairly cheap and easy to use) cost some money.
@@ELValeninYou'd have to look into it, it would probably be very expensive to use even what you could get your hands on. Aerospace composite materials would be very expensive. The easiest example would be using titanium in place of aluminum... but titanium is extremely expensive, like any aerospace materials are going to be. But these are the materials that are the combination of strongest and lightest weight that exist in the world.
@@kavikkang9411 you can't just go and 3d print titanium, can you?
@@ELValenin No, I was using that as an example of something to use in place of aluminum. I'm sure some of the composite materials could be 3D printed... the ones that aren't still secret. It would probably cost a lot... but it would be one tough car, haha.
why are ur ramps gaped makes no sense
@Korey Blair These are skate ramps meant to go behind each other with a table in the center. They have a lip at the bottom for support. They can not go any closer than what you are seeing. I've been using them for 4+ years no issues at all like this.
I know they are not crap they are just too heavy and hard to work on. I love arrma

@@ReadySetRC if it was you would think that you would have stated that in your video or showed it. By the angles of your rear arms when your showing the broken rod end I'm gonna call bs on that you have it done here. If you do you need to pull it up more. Doesnt look like it's done at all. Some people just need to learn how to drive also. Ya cant jump them and have them cartwheel and flip and flop all over the ground at 30-40 mph and expect that little plastic piece to hold up. I have 2 of them and know lots of guys that have them and I personally have never seen it happen in any of our trucks. Actually 1 time but that was bc he hit something directly with the wheel and hard. Guess I would rather have something simple and pennies on the dollar break than have it hold and start snapping a arms or worse.

@BorgRC Thanks for watching and the tip! FYI...I checked out the video that tip is intense.
Kraton all day bro!
ryan cullen Thanks for watching!
Learn how to jump your rigs before you kill em both lol
@Aaron Lujan
I would agree🤣😂 This was the third and the worst running of both rigs. No idea why RUclips Algorithm chooses this video to pump out but Round One and Two, even the other videos I've done on both vehicles are better than this.
Ready Set RC haha just giving you a hard time man I was thinking holy shit gives a new meaning to bashing
The arma don’t jump to good
I have one and it jumps the best by far out of the 20 or so rc trucks I have had. I can launch it 15 feet in the air, for 60 feet doing backflips. And it hasn't broken a single thing in the year I've had it.
@Kirk Leaman She jump reeeeal good😂
Bet you won't pin this
you right lol
@@jonteesdale18 😂😂
@Ezra Wall Nah🤣😂
Кратон мощ
👍👍
Horrible driver/jumper
@RC X
You gathered that from one video. I do agree not my best driving in this video but that is not the point of the video. I could say horrible videography on your videos but that is not the point on your videos, you're trying to show the race, correct. Little less negativity goes a long way.
