RPM arms have arrived - should I re run the speed test across all 3 batteries with the supplied speed pinion gear? You decide - let me know down below...
Get down to business we have all seen other speed videos. I want to see a "launch" if your going home and your car isn't broken? Well you need to plug in another battery and try harder! Quit being a lame and punch it!
Using Velcro to secure the body is a great idea. Thanks for the interesting video.
Thank you very much 😊
Just to confirm - I had the Velcro on when I had the big off - and the body stayed on throughout the tumbles 😊 Loving your vids by the way 👍👍
Velcro is an amazing idea! Great video👌
Thank you 😊 I can’t claim I thought of the Velcro thing - but it’s a ‘pass it on’ idea for sure - and the body didn’t come off on the big tumble wumble 👍
I had one of these and had to sell it. It was great when it ran. But after 3 rear diffs and 1 front diff I couldn’t handle tearing it apart anymore. It’s a pain to change them. I even shimmed it and it still stripped the gears.
That’s interesting to know - thank you. I did think the fun will run out if it happens too often 👍
Your Merv is crying out for a RPM front bumper. Piled mine into a lamp pole straight on at nearly full speed on 2 NiMhs in series. Yeah it broke the chassis nose off and cashed in the front diff halves. But thats it! $21 and even the metal gear servo survived. Bumper still rockin on.
You’re spot on - and I have now fitted one! Sounds like you had a serious off 🤣🤣👍😊
My favorite 1/16 scale also my favorite large rc is the erevo 2.0. All around great cars. I’m shocked you’re stripping gears? I have 5 of these and no gear stripping but I have older ones. Great video! Yes diagrams are horrible lol. I run higher c rating. Stopped using Traxxas batteries. You will notice a big difference. 👍
Thank you 😊👍 - maybe I’ll try some alternative batteries, interesting to hear a higher c rating is ok - thanks 👍
TiNi shock shafts are single biggest bang for buck. No more leaky shocks, no more rebuilds!
Good to know - thank you 😊
The E-Revo is a great car and you can hook two of them up for a longer runtime as long as they aren’t the lipo batteries, which I do not use because who really wants to learn all about like batteries, how to charge, how to storm them, how to use them, how to keep them cool, how to balance them. I don’t need all of that. I just like to drive my RC car so I went for the NIMH, two $19.00 batteries apiec, and I have as much fun as anyone does with this car running on lipo bat
That is absolutely what RC cars is about - enjoying it your way 👍
I bought the wheelie bar and then we got the LED light kit, but they can't really be used together with the rear tail lights. I wonder if anyone has figured out another way to mount the rear LED taillights so they can be used with the wheelie bar?
I really hope someone helps out on that one - never did get the lights - the way the car is driven they wouldn’t last long 🤣
I love my 1/16 erevo . I gave a lot done to my revo I have right at 400 dollars in upgrades on it I have more in my 1/16 than my 1/10 erevo. But I truly absolutely love the 1/16 . But get a shims for the diffs and you won't have that problem you can run on 3s the hole time.
Wow bet you’ve some nice upgrades there 👍 Just did the shims - well 1 - see how that goes. How many would you recommend?
Yeah, it's a fun car. Needs a wheelie bar for sure.
Liking the videos, subb'd! Just a question - were you running the stock pinion with both the 2s and the 3s? Or the included high speed pinion
Ah thanks man - we really appreciate that 😊😊👍 Just the stock pinion throughout the test 👍
I think you forgot to mention shimming the diffs. My son has one and I only ran the stock batteries NiMH batteries never lipos. 6 months after running got a clicking in the diffs. I was surprised I had to shim the diffs just running NiMH batteries. Last week I put one shim in the front diff and two shims in the rear diff. Clicking is gone. Want to get 2s lipo next for him.
Also I installed 2.2 proline Trencher tires. Highly recommend them!
Happy Christmas! Ah that’s interesting as I’ve not needed to shim them (yet). Santa delivered Fastrax wheels - will do a vid - they look awesome and I think are similar size to the Proline so I can see why you’d recommend them - they look awesome and will lift the truck just enough for better off road running. The 2S battery is fantastic - we’ve got two - I thoroughly recommend going and getting one ASAP 😊😊👍👍
@@pgrcplus interesting indeed! Merry Christmas!
Guess what - I now need to shim the rear diff 🙄🙃👍
@@pgrcplus bummer. But it happens eventually. I put in one shim in the front and 2 shims in the rear. That worked for me.
Ok thank you - do you have a part number for the right sized shims you use by any chance? Cheers 👍
RUN THE 2S PARALLEL GIVES YOU AN EXTRA 3 MPH AND AN CLOSE TO A HOUR RUN TIME , IVE GOT FAST TRAX WHEELS ONLY £12 FOR 2 TALLER SO EVEN MORE SPEED AND A LOT MORE STABLE TURNING THAN STOCK WHEELS , GOES ABOUT 40MPH ON THAT SET UP , I HAD 3S BUT KEPT STRIPPING DIFFS
👍 thanks for that - I might experiment! I’ll check out the Fasttrax wheels as well - cheers 😊
Have you run it at 4S yet? It's pretty dang fast that way.
No way 🤩 that sounds insane 👍👍
@@pgrcplus It is, it just overheats really fast, so you can only get one or two runs in safely. On another channel he's been upgrading his, put 4S in and 1:1 gear ratio, got to 71MPH, but only can do one run before it overheats and shuts down.
New scriber here, just purchased erevo brushless for my grandson, is it possible to turn the power, speed down on the car? Thank you
Thank you for the sub 😊 Yes is the answer - check out our speed test vid as the ESC can be switched to half power - this combined with different batteries means there is a lot or range to dial down the speed so you and your grandson can enjoy driving the same vehicle- enjoy my friend 😊👍
@@pgrcplus thank you appreciate your help
what is a heatsink???
It just helps move the heat away to control temperature and help prevent overheating
You really want it to be amazing put 20 million diff oil from the xmaxx in the front and rear diff. So much fun .
I might just give that a go - cheers 👍
Im here your new friend
Wow very nice Monster Car. Thank you for sharing. May you have a great weekend. Your friend TH treasure hunting 👍
Thank you 😊 and welcome 👍
I want this model so bad. I wish I could afford
Good luck with your saving my friend - there are some cheaper alternatives to go for from other brands which you might want to take a look at 😊👍
@@pgrcplus thanks I’ll go dig for sum
iv broken mine evry run ecept the very first i belive XD
Oh no - nightmare! 👍
@@pgrcplus just a little XD... well I mean it only means upgrades XD.... and a hole in my wallet XD
@@PLASMA_2005 nothing like a good upgrade though eh 👍😊
FIRST
Wow Jack, I haven’t even left the You Tube Studio!
Excellent video dude btw love the editing and stuff!
Thank you for your support Jack 😊
stock shocks are trash
We’ve not had any issues - but we did change to 50w oil and increase the tension 👍
