Nice video :) thanks Got my Brand new brushless edition today with the 6s lipo batteries . And the slipper clutch was so loose it was impossible to move. Found this video and now everything is just perfect
I'm way new till this my e revo I think it's slipping because it's power doesn't respond as quickly anymore and it's two days old I'm running 2 cell lipo's at first I thought maybe a broken gear in one of my differentials or transmission but I don't understand how my clutch thing had worn out already and why does the motor have to have a spacing between the gears?
Thanks man! Its actually Rit clothing dye i bought the a-arms from RPM in dye able white and boiled about a gallon of water and put in 2 boxes of orange dye then put it in a tray and set the white arms in there for about 30 mins and that was the finished product! thanks again man!
Thank you very much man for the cool vid my first RC just got the Evo burnt gear out I think it was loose from the factory was on my second set of batteries how do you feel about a steel gear instead of plastic I put my spare one on there haven't ran it yet I know it's a smaller spur gear
Thanks a lot for the hit back I haven't ordered one yet just didn't really know if plastic or steel which one might be better thanks a lot friend always a thumbs up
hope your still active I have a few questions are there any negatives to having a steel spur gear I. just moved up to lipos and I see some shredded plastic witch I know for a fact is the spur I checked and where the screws are there are no holes just large groves and is there anything else I should change. besides the drive shaft to prepare for Lipo type powers hope to hear from you soon
I am still active I have made quite a few videos since this one lol! Check out my channel ruclips.net/channel/UCqPRkuVCNf5HyqrH1x30gkA And as far as the steel spur gear goes I will not run one. I have always run plastic spur gears as a failsafe for my transmission, the spur is the weakest point. The reason they will do this is due to slipper clutch adjustment If it is not adjusted properly to your driving style. This particular failure was due to excessive slipping and eventually overheating the plastic and melting. It was too loose and when I hit the throttle at any speed the slipper was always slipping (too loose). If its too tight you will be doing a lot of standing backflips and eventually drive train failure (axles, drive shafts, bearings, ect.). You should only hear the slipper clutch slip for about a foot or foot and a half after takeoff from a dead stop. Just listen to the car and adjust as necessary. If it sounds too loose it probably is and if you think its too tight, then it probably is. Make small adjustments and you will find the sweet spot.
depends if your running 4s or 6s lipo. I usually run 4s for general bashing and i like the 19t pinion and 54t spur. I recently did a video on performance differences between 4s 6s then changed out the spur gear and tried em out on 4s and 6s. but i like the 4s 19/54 for all around bashing! thanks for the comment.
+Ricky Revo RC huh. wouldn't have thought about that. I'll have to give it a try. love your channel. just recently got an E-Revo and my kid has a latrax teton and we both love them. thanks for all the great info
Hey mate. I’ve been struggling to run my erevo for so long I’m nearly going throw it in the trash! So many destroyed clutch set ups including the metal plate that the pads fit onto. The metal they use does not hold up, mild alloy I don’t know. Have you heard of those clutch eliminator part ? It removes the slipper clutch altogether do you just screw the spur onto this eliminator piece, no slip! No pads , no need to buy more 30 dollar clutch kits! Is is too good to be true? I’m guessing it destroys other parts that are more expensive like diffs etc. Please let me know your opinion on this eliminator part. Also, do use traxxas slipper clutch or a better quality third party product? If so, what brand? Cheers
they burn up when they're too loose. I use traxxas slipper clutch. Running in water will damage the clutch too. I wouldn't recommend a center diff. you will destroy other parts. Snug the slipper down and back a half to 3/4 of a turn that's it and I recommend running 2 2s lipo's
And this is where the losi 8ight t brushless wins over the e revo....no slipper clutch! Lol jk I actually wish it had a slipper to manage the power a bit nice vid man
RickyRevo they are quite badass ha i have the 8ight t 2.0 brushless. It is a blast but don't do 6s brushless if you get one. It's way too much power. Go 4s if you go brushless with one
Nice video :) thanks

awesome bro! I'm glad it helped! your gonna love that car man!
I don’t have that at all... I have 2 plastic plates with rubber in between and the metal spur gear.

+Chano87 e-mail traxxas!
what kind of paint did u use for the long travel plastic . must say all the plastic looks real good
Thanks man! Its actually Rit clothing dye i bought the a-arms from RPM in dye able white and boiled about a gallon of water and put in 2 boxes of orange dye then put it in a tray and set the white arms in there for about 30 mins and that was the finished product! thanks again man!
Grats on the upgrade.
thx joe!
It must slip like Crazy one-and-a-half turn
Where do you get that S-shaped tool for adjusting the slipper clutch?
Thank you very much man for the cool vid my first RC just got the Evo burnt gear out I think it was loose from the factory was on my second set of batteries how do you feel about a steel gear instead of plastic I put my spare one on there haven't ran it yet I know it's a smaller spur gear
no problem man. i ve been running a plastic gear for about 3 years now and im happy with it! I dont feel the need for a steel upgrade!
Thanks a lot for the hit back I haven't ordered one yet just didn't really know if plastic or steel which one might be better thanks a lot friend always a thumbs up
fortunately it was a couple of screws that was nit down all the way from the guy I bought it from. lucky me.

Ricky Revo RC thank you so much for the info
on the e revo what is the height of the spur gear
mine clicks , could that be because i have a steel spur gear? sounds like that is where the sound is coming from.
+Eric Ostrowski could be steel spurs are noisy. if it clicks when your driving its probably a diff going
I'm running some big tires on my brusless revo too, what spur gear number and pinion number do u recommend ?
depends if your running 4s or 6s lipo. I usually run 4s for general bashing and i like the 19t pinion and 54t spur. I recently did a video on performance differences between 4s 6s then changed out the spur gear and tried em out on 4s and 6s. but i like the 4s 19/54 for all around bashing! thanks for the comment.
Great video! Helped me with my e-revo! What suspension arms are you running on that thing btw?
+colman2005 Thanks man! Those are the rpm white arms that I dyed orange!
+Ricky Revo RC how did you dye them?
2 packets of Rit clothing dye! boil your water put the dye in the water and drop your parts in and let them sit until your happy with the color!
+Ricky Revo RC huh. wouldn't have thought about that. I'll have to give it a try. love your channel. just recently got an E-Revo and my kid has a latrax teton and we both love them. thanks for all the great info
Awesome bro! Thank you! You guys have fun with it man and let me know if I can help with anything!
What was the size of that gear? 65T? How to remove it without taking apart the diff? I think you video jump that part... any help?
I dont remember the size but in order to change the spur you have to remove all that stuff
Hey mate.
I’ve been struggling to run my erevo for so long I’m nearly going throw it in the trash!
So many destroyed clutch set ups including the metal plate that the pads fit onto.
The metal they use does not hold up, mild alloy I don’t know.

Hey mate I do I tell if my slipper clutch is gone or if it’s my gear box?
Evan Browne tighten it up all the way and if it still slips it's no good. Or take it apart and inspect it.
good vid
thanks man!!
My E REVO Brushless Edition motor cables keep coming undone when Im driving it not sure why this keeps happening. an you help with this?
Mario Celestino Are they coming out of the ESC or the motor?
ESC
more than likely your bullet connectors are worn out!
its new
E-mail Traxxas they are very good about warranty. See what they say! They may have a bad batch of wires!
And this is where the losi 8ight t brushless wins over the e revo....no slipper clutch! Lol jk I actually wish it had a slipper to manage the power a bit nice vid man
lol i want a losi 8ight they really look badass and thanks man!
RickyRevo they are quite badass ha i have the 8ight t 2.0 brushless. It is a blast but don't do 6s brushless if you get one. It's way too much power. Go 4s if you go brushless with one
lol thx for the tip man e revos are very similar.
