You would be correct in the shimmed department lol. But I also haven’t shunned any lol!! I owned a savage flux for a few months and did chomp a pinion. Never shimmed that but it didn’t go until 2 months passed and this was back in 2011 so for a 6s truck that was fine. On my vorza I also never...

Smh, now this thread is tainted. And @bicketybam you should probably read that bolded section of the first edit because you're one of those who is under that impression. If you built your reputation on being unbiased, you'd see why I replied how I did. No it's not a bad thing to be bias, I'm...

I didn't see any defending me in that post. If it's only toy cars than what the hell is the point of your reply??!! I took out all the parts that weren't attacks. Here's what I'm left with. Hint hint it's still a lot. The number 4 calling me brand bias was the one that really hit it home and...

I think there was a misunderstanding between communication. Also I like your tactic of talking sophisticated for your first sentence to ensure people take your side. 1. My issue was resolved. It was resolved a long time ago. 2 . And regarding the chassis, I'm very much aware about the handling...

Gonna be honest I’ve never shunned any RC for all 13 years. Given all I’ve owned is Traxxas until I got my senton (aside from hpi but they also didn’t need shimming) and they tend to keep the tolerances extremely tight. I’m still not doing it on my senton, too lazy, but I’m probably gonna do it...

Like I said, whatever you run, if you like it than that’s what it’s all about. Personally and everyoneelseilly, the e revo 2.0 doesn’t need shims at all. 1% of people do put them in, but they’re usually people from arrma (which is why it’s 1% because most people who go arrma stay arrma and I...

Same to you! One day I plan to pick up a dbxl e Also do you understand what self righting is? Literally going from full speed reverse to full speed forward with no brakes in between. That is definitely nit picking if you’re saying thats a bad thing, because a normal 8th scale diff would...

Yeah that’s the norm. Even on 6s WOT it doesn’t hurt the chassis. The bulkhead and bumper always take the hit time after time again. The only time I’ve ever heard of a chassis on an e revo snapping (2.0) was I believe FnFancy, but he said he was definitely sending it absolutely to the moon and...

Look I spent a long typing this reply so please read it, it answers all your questions. Fluid wise, it’s actually great stock. Only a few have had ones that weren’t fully filled. Center is 1 million, rear is 70 and I believe front is 30. The rear could be 50 though, I’m not tooo sure. It suits...

Yeah essentially. An aluminum will bend a very long time before plastic cracks, or at least in the e revo’s case it’s just designed very well (chassis wise) Like I said above, a normal aluminum bend after tons of bad landings at skate parks (10-30 degrees), a plastic chassis won’t be phased at...

Yeah, the biggest 3s packs you can put in the new one are SMC 7200’s but I just run Traxxas 5000’s, I’ll probably run hobbystar 5600’s in the future.

I enjoy friendly debates like this! Here’s my side. The e revo actually comes with sealed bearings. Every single one, sealed. That actually surprised me when my senton came and the bearings weren’t sealed. I thought that was the norm for the hobby, having sealed bearings. The chassis is...

Well for the Kraton you need to shim the diffs, get new chassis braces, get a new servo mount, reinforce the body (especially around the mounting holes so it doesn’t crack there) and you should put on a bumper. The diff shims part was already a turn off for me. And for extreme bashing you could...

Lol. (For those who are serious) To be fair, that was with my person experience I decided to buy it over the arrma nero (its rival) and also I’m not a fan of the Kraton. It’s hard to explain but the stuff you need to do to a Kraton to make it a tank is a lot harder for me to do than the stuff...

I did the moronic thing that I don’t recommend any of you ever do. I took no advice and ran the truck how I had it setup. In my defense I didn’t have any plastidip on me. The results? None. No problems. I’m sooo happy you guys don’t understand, this truck really is high maintainence and to...

Hmmm, ok. How should I go about waterproofing it?

You don't have to cut any wires normally. I didn't. All you have to do is pull the red wire and connector out of the small plastic ESC JST plug that goes to the receiver. The only bypass connectors I've ever seen were for bypassing the receiver to run a servo only, like the one you linked.

I am very much aware. That's why the esc's BEC has been disconnected (just like castle says) from the receiver ever since I put the BEC in, just like how everyone else has been doing it for years. Look I really don't want to come off as rude but if my issue was one manual away or one google...

Thats news to me, never heard someone say that ever. And all the plane/heli guys have no choice because most of their esc's don't even have a BEC to power the receiver in the first place, so a bypass isn't an option. If someone can back him up, then I'm screwed, because my mxl's BEC ground wire...

Bump... please... someone
