My e-revo brushless edition build

I sounded mad? Sorry about that! I wasn't mad at all. Just goes to show how sometimes text can be totally misinterpreted! I'm never "mad" really!

No, I had remembered once when removing my shocks from my ERBE, that one of the long screws that screw down thru the top of the mount, never seemed to "bite" and come to a noticable stop. I had forgotten that I simply changed to a longer screw! So, when I posted that, I had forgotten that I did that, wondered if the pivot of a rear end lid slap might pull the mount from the chassis, but yer right, that's not going to happen.

Good call on the pivot ball popping out or the shaft snapping.

My frustration in finding the right length shaft was true though. I could have swore that i had some P2 Pushrods, but these aren't I guess. I thought I had them with me today, but they must be at home or else I'd look to see what mm is printed on them. That's why I was asking for the length, so I didn't have to go to Traxxas to look up what length the P2 rods are. But I will do that, so no need to worry about it.

Thanks!

I received the rest of my 5.5 bullets today. I should find the courage to start soldering very soon. I put an OFNA rear wing on the ERBE because the Traxxas wing on my nitro Revo was broken so I needed another wing. The LHS had both the OFNA and TRAXXAS wings in stock so I went with the OFNA one because it just seems stronger. I put it on the ERBE and put the ERBE's TRAXXAS wing on the nitro Revo. I had a puffed Zippy in my battery box, it just puffed sitting there with the other lipos. I don't know what happened to it but both cells were badly puffed. So I unsoldered the connectors which I will keep and put the cells in the middle of the driveway and punctured both of them very hard with the tip of a long crowbar
There was some fizz with tiny sparks in the hole and a little smoke for 1 minute or two, then came the big puff of smoke, and I mean a lot of smoke and a lot of fizzing for about 20 seconds. But no flames at all. Then down to a little smoke and soft fizzing for 5 minutes and then nothing. I let it sit there for another hour to cool down and tossed the cells in the trash once I inspected the cells to make sure that they were all consumed. I should've made a vid. It was a cool experiment.
