This weekend was the first big race for the ERBE. The Hardcore Racers RC Club Spring Showdown Trophy Race. As this was a one day event, the number of entries in Truggies, Buggies and MTs were limited to 98. I could only manage to get a third place, my set up is all wrong and the truck was bouncy, squirely and bottoming out in some places. Other than a battery lead coming loose in the third qualifier, nothing broke on the truck, everything (except my set up) worked flawlessly. I am very pleased.

Diff blocks - 05.18.2009, 10:45 PM

The diffs move in a Revo. They move inside the bulkheads. Just look at the abrasion marks on your diff cases and inside the bulkheads when you take them apart. Some people tried to stuff silicon in there to hold the diffs in place, some put foam underneath the chassis to press down on the diff. I'm sure someone will chime in with yet another Band Aid fix for this little problem. I want a permanent fix. I am going to try out these diff blocks that key into the bulkheads and sandwich the diffs in place holding them tight preventing movement up and down, left and right. I made them for my LST2 diffs but I'm sure they would not work for the stock diffs.

The front blocks



And the rear blocks

If you're talking about the servo blocks, they are made out of 3 mm thick twill weaved carbon fiber.

I am trying to stop smoking. I needed to do something to keep me busy so I made this carbon fiber MMM holder. Not really necessary but it looks cool. Problem is... I'm done and I want a frikkin' smoke

ok, sorry about that. The diff blocks were made out of a piece of cutting board bought at the dollar store.
