My e-revo brushless edition build

you must race hard...or maby it's the E-revo's motor mount setup, i'm just using the little old 3mm blue motor mount that comes with the E-maxx trannies (single motor conversion of coarse)
and it's not bent

Are you using the plate that places the motor up in the center over the tranny instead of the ERBE's plate that place the motor to the side of the tranny? I have seen a few conversions that have the motor centered over the tranny. The way the ERBE is set up, the motor plate is secured to the tranny with 4 screws that are all on the left portion of the plate. The right portion houses the motor and is just floating with no support. With the weight of the motor hanging on it.

yep that's what i have.
it must be absolutly rubbish for COG but i got used to it and cant feel much difference between my convert and a proper ERBE.

but my plate has not bent

Well if that's your truck in your avatar, I would say we have very similar racing styles So I don't know what made my motor plates bend like that.

Running my ERBE in the last few days, I noticed that it was easier to roll it over when making tight turns. I checked my sway bar set up and the front Tekno sway bar I run (Tekno front/Traxxas rear) has become so soft that it is now useless. Many don't beleive that the Tekno sway bars are prone to premature metal fatigue because they are too short and small. Here's a good proof. Longer and thicker sway bars don't have to bend as much and last longer. I replaced this Tekno sway bar with one I made. It is a bit thicker and taller so it will last longer. The same is installed on my nitro Revo and has been bash and race tested for over a year.



This is the Tekno sway bar I was using. The ends were bent upwards. Whether the ends are bent upwards or left stock, I experienced the same kind of premature metal fatigue.



This is the sway bar I made out of 2.3 mm piano wire. This same sway bar has been working awsome on my nitro Revo.
