Status: offline 		I think that's the same setup Pyro was using with his E-Revo, with a 2000kv motor he was doing standing back flips on 4S, if you're into that kind of thing.


So I pulled my E-Revo out of storage (under the bed) the other day. Looking at it sitting on the work bench and all I want to do is drive it but the weather has been crap around here lately, if it's not stinking hot it's raining. Really hoping to get out for some full on bashing soon, if I do I'll try to get some video.

I wish this thread was more active but hey what can ya do, the only time I see the ERBE brought up whilst perusing the forums is when someone is going on about how much better the MT4 G3 is than the E-Revo.

Front = Blue spring (60wt oil)
Rear = Silver Spring (60wt oil)

I am bottoming out on high jumps. Currently running stock suspension set up.

Status: offline 		Revo's are heavier in the rear vs front, the blue springs are heavier springs than the silver ones. If you are going to use those springs, I would swap the blues in the rear; however, I don't recommend those springs unless you are running some really heavy batteries.

When I first starting bashing with the e-revo, I tried everything to keep it from bottoming out so easy in the rear. I tried it all, purple springs, #3 hole pistons, 100 wt shock oil, even diff. fluid in the rear shocks. I never had a issue with the front at all just the rear. Not until I started racing did I see the light! I started adjusting things, trying out things, a lot of reading and talking with other guys till I found out its ok to bottom out.

When I run 6s and bash, I use the stock gold springs in the rear with 60 to 80 wt shock oil #3 pistons, fronts I use orange with 60 wt shock oil, #2 pistons. It bottoms out hard in the rear with any kind of small jump, but never bounces or rebounds.

Some other things that make a difference is suspension drop setting, spring preload, and rocker choice.

If you want to try and prevent bottoming out, your stiffest set up is going to be p3 rockers, purple springs, 100+wt shock oil, #3 pistons, inside hole for all push rods and a lot of spring preload. That should break a few rockers.

Status: offline 		Ive been too lazy to put the vids I took (that and this computer is a POS we need to replace)

Anyways the HobbyWing kit has been great except for not being able to update the programming box. I toned down the timing and went with 68/17 for gearing. Has plenty of power.
Went out for some running in the yard and jumped of a snow pile, landed a bit off and snapped the front tie rod... No biggy ordered some more parts. Parts come in, fix tie rod, take truck out for another run, 3 minutes later I break the same dam part ?!!?

Not sure whats going on considering I took the truck to a skate park and didnt cause this much damage. Is there a better upgrade for the from tie rods (to the steering)?

Status: offline 		If you're running the stock tie links I would suggest giving the aluminum ones a shot, or Lunsford. I think the alloy of steel used in those tie links isn't up to snuff. I've had great luck with the aluminum tube tie links.

I had my rear toe link break. PM me your address and I'll send you 3 of the stock tie links that I swapped out.
