New to the ERBE, Christmas came a couple days early!

This was with 18/54 gearing with the max6/2050kv motor:

Increased the pinion to a 19T and took it out again.

Snapped a tie-rod when I hit a tree and busted a piece of the TBR rear skid/wheelie bar which I made a new one of tonight.

Latest updates, most of which done this year, 2020.

I was running VDK #2 pistons front/rear with 70wt, but after breaking the rear pistons in half twice, I switched to 60wt and standard pistons. I have limiting cables on the rear that connect to the rear body post and the lower arm where the pushrods connect (many just connect to the rockers to protect shock ends, I connect to arms to help protect everything).

I put v2 RPM arms on the front, but had clearance issues with the integy rockers I had. RPM blamed integy... even though they worked fine on the v1 and both my nitro revo's... ended up grinding a bit off and changing out for some rockers that don't capture the pushrod. Also using the bottom hingepin hole for extra clearance so the nuts don't hit the arms at full extension along with using the upgraded 8619 pushrods with beefier ends:

The 8619 rods vs stock v2 rods:

The ends are marginally thicker/wider. v2 stock:

8619:

Those are on the rear as well:

Tried talon ext tires (wrapped with kevlar cord):

Didn't care for them much. Not much forward grip, lower ground clearnace, less cushion when landing. I did like the width though, so I got 1/2" offset hubs and put my trenchers back on:

Got an alloy center skid, since I've broken 3 or 4 of the stock plastic ones. Hoping this helps without adding new issues:

Got a probodyrc indestructible body on it this year, could likely do away with the center roll bar... but it helps keep the body from smashing into my fans on the motor:

Updated the servo saver with mostly alloy one (part of it didn't fit), but I broke the piece that holds the bearing/spring kept breaking which is now alloy, so that should help for coming months:

Updated the t-bone wheelie bar with XMaxx wheels and a piece that ties it to the truck so it doesn't flap about when landing jumps:
