My e-revo brushless edition build

I had to Dremel the slots in the diff cups to make the shaft go deeper so that it could finally fit. Even with that done, it is a little too tight for my taste. This shaft should be 3 mm shorter at least. Being too long and fitting as tight as they do on the length, they don't give a lot of room for chassis flex. The rain has finally stopped up here so I will get my punch control to zero and start doing repeated standing back flips to see if a true 8th scale drive train holds up running the ERBE on 6S.

MC I had to grind the ends of the rear dogbones to get it to fit...the front fit like a gove...Ive been using them for many months now without problem....I hope you have the same luck i have had!

Good to know that they are tough. I wonder how many standing back flips can be done with a couple 3S 5000 mah Hyperions G3s

I'll have to keep count.

I charged up my two 3S 5000 mah Hyperion G3s and went out to test this 8th scale drive train I have. The slipper is locked (as tight as I can get it without breaking it) and the MMM punch control set at 0. I was curious to find out how many standing back flips I could get from the Hyperions.

I still don't know how many standing back flips can be done with those Hyperions. I stopped at 100. Yes! 100 consecutive standing back flips! Or attempts I should say, they were not all beautiful to watch

Most of them had the truck land on the nose, or wing, or the front of the body, or sending the truck cart wheeling. But what is important here is that every of those 100 standing back flips were done the same way. On the extremely high bite surface of the new sidewalks in front of my house, going to full throttle from a stand still.

I lost body clips, the front body posts are grinded off, the rear wing broke and my F650 body is absolutely done for. So what's the verdict on the 8th scale drive train?












































Drum roll.....























































Everything looks fine! The CVD shafts, the drive cups, the center dogbones, it all held up to this grueling testing I did today. I'm very happy.

I am glad to see all your hard work has paid off. This thread as always has been a huge help. I am going to start doing my lst diff swap very soon I have gone through 4 Revo diffs in a very short period of time and it sad. I hope my swap comes out as nice as your has.
