Yep, seems to be the way. I didn't have any binding with the shocks removed, so I replaced the RCRaven springs with traxxas blue springs. Stiffer springs tend to cause premature wear on the pushrod ends and shock ends, but at least it rebounds to almost level now when I drop it.

My final issue is that the VDK pistons don't hold up well to big air. I've snapped 3 of them in the rear shocks. So the last time they broke, I replaced them with #2 stock pistons. After installing the true track, it's not rebounding hardly at all on my work bench after being fully compressed...

Another issue is I keep breaking the rear turnbuckles. RPM doesn't make true-track for the 2.0 and they don't intend to. I've emailed them as have a few others. So, since I had the old true-track from my v1, I decided to try modifying them. I found a few videos on youtube to see if I'd need...

So, it's been 1.5 years now of 6S running with the 2.0 chassis/diffs/trans in it. I have a few ongoing issues I'm trying to remedy. One issue is the battery doors. I don't know why, but I split them at the seams literally every other bash, they start splitting and just get worse and worse. Not...

Changed back to the trenchers, but got some 1/2" offset hot racing hubs for it to retain the width: I need to change the roof skid on this... the stock I had was too thick and it looks dumb. I have some 1/4" thick stuff to use instead, just haven't worked on it yet.

After breaking my 3rd or 4th center chassis tunnel (never broke one on the v1), decided to replace it with an aluminum one: Also got a set of the stock EXT tires as well as a new probodyrc unbreakable body: The tires added some much needed width to this thing. On 4S speeds, it wasn't too...

I had changed the old traxxas/castle 2200kv 4074 motor out for an arrma 4074 blx2050kv. The 2200kv just sounded awful on 6S. Probably bearings going out, but it may have gotten hot a few times as it wasn't too hard to rotate the motor shaft when off the truck, so decided to go with what worked...

My MXL-6S esc died on me on my 2nd 6S run. Not sure why, it just stopped working, so I had put my old HPI F360C esc in it from my savage flux HP. The MXL-6S is a rebadged MMv2. The F360C is a rebadged MMv1 which isn't waterproof. I conformal coated it the best I could. It wasn't nearly as smooth...

Now it's late summer in 2019 and I've had the outcast 6S for a while that I started running 6S in it in the Spring of 2019... so decided it was time to update the ERBEv1 to a v2 with a rolling chassis to get the better drivetrain: I swapped over the parts that I could from my v1, including...

I started brushless with the revo. Prior to that, I ran nitro only for 18 years. My wife got it for me for Christmas in 2016. I put different tires on it that were some I had on hand that stayed nice and soft in the cold so I could run it in the snow. I stuck with stock arms/carriers, just...
