Drivetrain Woes -
11.25.2008, 08:18 PM
I just finished installing the extended wheelbase suspension arms on my E-revo and i like what it has done to the handling, but on is maiden voyage i sheared both of the drive pins and broke one on the rear sliders. After some inspection i decided to put brand new drive shaft assemblies on the rear as the one that didn't break was looking pretty worn. well with the batteries topped off i headed out again and got in a good run until my pinion set screw came loose, i headed back to re-locktite and reinstall and while doing this i noticed that my brand new sliders were showing some extensive wear after maybey 15 min of driving....not cool.
Is this just something to expect with a relatively high power motor/esc combo and the extended wheel base just creates more stress?
Also, i dont know of any good cvd's for the revo, i know there are some out there but i haven't heard of any that really stand up to power. I would easily pay top dollar for a set that is bombproof but i dont know of any that are.
sorry for the long explaination!!!
