EREVO 2.0

[Dustin Mustangs]

Yeah, I'm not talking about "wandering", I'm talking about being out of balance and vibrating so bad that it breaks a-arms.

Not excusing this flaw, but balancing them is pretty easy and cheap to do. My dboots needed this and I got great results with a prop balancer and two sided tape.

I never understood why Traxxas put the wing on the EREVO once they made it electric and tried to make it look like a truggy. I’m just bringing the EREVO back to its roots as a true MT. So far I’m liking all the structural updates, but I hate the electronics. 6s is no problem out of the box, but I’m going to add different diff fluid next weekend. If they are making their own in house electronics, at least provide a few adjustments other than race, sport, or 50% mode. Why not let me adjust the braking or punch levels?

I thought they were going to offer a roller version of the new E-Revo. These RC companies need to get back to the roots of the old days. I’m so done with RTR’s. So much is wasted on crappy electronics for the price you pay for them. Plus, they always need to be torn apart and properly built anyway. All part of the fun but I would love to see more kits Offered. Kits are more fun to me.

I stand corrected. After installing the traxxas link app, I was able to adjust the braking down to 50%(stock was set at 100%). There’s a throttle sensitivity adjustment that I believe is similar to punch adjustment on the hobbywing esc. There’s no clear instructions in the EREVO manual to walk you through adjustments. I got lucky and found more adjustment information looking up XMAXX tutorials.

Any chance you would sell me the body and mounting equipment that you took off of your 2.0 e revo. I'd really appreciate it if you aren't going to be using them and could use a few $$$$$ in your pocket. You can email me at [email protected] thank you for the consideration and your posts on the forum.

Sorry Happy673, the body & mounts, esc, wing and servos went on eBay as soon as I took them off and sold within 30 mins.

 

[Happy673]

Well thanks anyway and I appreciate you getting back to me so fast. Thank you.

FInal thoughts on the new EREVO. Diffs and CVDs are equal to or better and much bigger than the ARRMA 6s capable rigs. I added 60wt diff fluid to the front, topped off the center with 1M wt, and 30wt to the rear. Front and rear needed 1 shim on exterior outdrive pinion gear bearing side. After shimming, diffs were smooth with no side to side movement. Also changed the plastic center drives out for MIP steel drives. I’m only running 6s (2 SMC 4500 90C 3s Lipos)and I wanted to take care of known weak points early. Servos and ESC are average RTR quality. The Hobbywing Max 8 woke up the Traxxas 2200KV motor and the Savox servo has way more torque than both the Traxxas servos. I really like the new tires, but I might add extended wheel hex’s to help reduce traction rolling. This is normally an easy upgrade, but Traxxas adds splines inside their wheels so they can only be used with Traxxas wheel hex. There’s no aftermarket kit that works without modification of the inner wheel. A-arms and other plastic parts are unusually thick and high quality for a Traxxas truck. Definitely need a wheelie bar. I haven’t played around with the shocks, only added more preload to keep the front from scraping the ground when braking and the back from scraping the ground when accelerating. Just like the Kraton, it slaps the chassis on large jumps. I’ve seen reports of the rod ends pulling out on hard landings. Similar to the Nero when it was introduced. Although the changes I made may sound like a lot, its the same or even less than I put into my V2 Kraton to make it durable(stronger servo, shock towers, billet bulkheads, new esc, rebuilt all difffs, bearing kit, and other aesthetic touches). I own both the both the Kraton and MT410 and they are beast in every respect. If you haven’t driven an EREVO and you own a Kraton or MT410, you’ll think its unstable and not as refined as a true truggy based MT. That’s true, but that’s the charm of the EREVO. It’s a butt dragging, 3 wheel turning, smile producing and finally durable monster truck. It reminds me why I got into hobby grade RCs in 2005.

Here’s a few pictures of my finished rig:

Did you put 60/30wt or 60k/30k in the diffs? Guessing k as 60/30wt would be very light for a diff.

My issue with the revo platform is that the way the suspension is, it's very plush and it's designed to slap the ground, however, the chassis can't handle it very well. At least the previous versions. On the nitro, the engine bay area bends/eventually cracks and the header on the pipe snaps off. On the e-revo, the motor plate bends and the rear of the chassis flexes a lot. Looks like they beefed up the motor plate/mount on the v2. Not sure if they did anything to keep the rear from flexing/snapping other than offering the thin aluminum shock->body mount brace. Not sure that brace will even work now with those upper shock guards they put on... I don't understand what those are even for other than asthetics.

Will be curious how the arms and axle carriers hold up. It never failed, whenever I ran stock arms/axle carriers, I couldn't make it a single bash session without snapping one or the other or both.

My E Revo turned up yesterday, it has to be one of the first in the UK i think.

I haven't run it yet, just enjoyed unboxing it. I have an Outcast and was looking for a Kraton, but with zero UK stock and 'some' uncertainly around the future, i decided not to put all my eggs in the ARRMA basket.

First impressions from a newbie are that it sure looks the part, battery storage is a pain and the suspension seems very soft.

I've brought a dusty cover as per my outcast and the wheelie bar. I will watch the temperatures but don't expect to need a motor fan.

That's pretty much the same with the v1 revo too. Traxxas tends to ship every rig with suspension too soft.

If you decide to change the gearing ratio to one of the speed combos, you'll need a motor fan. I've tried it and it gets hot. Add more preload to your shocks and it will take the softness out. If you're going to jump 6ft or more, you'll have to tune your suspension with different springs and thicker fluid. Unlike the V1, the drivetrain is solid and can take 6S no problem. Enjoy!

There is zero uncertainty about Arrma. All of the models listed here will still be produced. https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...MANUFACTURER=ARA&submit=Submit+AdvancedSearch

 

[Slick2500]

The following Hobbico products will no longer be made. Do note that the Kraton, Senton, Typhon, Talion and Outcast that are listed here are the older V1 and V2 models not the current models. The cars because of the receiver box. The drones because of led lights......

Yes, and led me to find this similar page which has a lot of interesting info (to me)...

Thanks for finding the link!

So what do I need to tune the ESC? I would like to adjust the punch etc? I have a E Revo 2.0

The esc is not like a castle or hobbywing esc. You can only adjust the brakes using the traxxas link software. That’s the only setting you can tune besides tuning the power down by 50% in the learning mode. This is why most people change out the esc for something that gives you punch, braking, timing, and additional tuning capabilities. Sorry this isn’t more helpful.
