1uke Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't know how you keep breaking CVD's, so far on 6S I've broken just 1 driveshaft, and that was in the snow. Loosen your slipper a bit... The slipper is to loose already and still breaking cvds... maybe your afraid to use all the power or have 15c-20c battery's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The slipper is to loose already and still breaking cvds... maybe your afraid to use all the power or have 15c-20c battery's? I'm not afraid, and I run 30C 5000mah Turnigy's so it's certainly getting all the power. Admittidly I don't use all the power most of the time, if I ever get to full throttle it just flips. I have my slipper set so that it can't do standing backflips, if I do full throttle, the slipper will slip, however my slipper does not get very hot when running the truck. Weelies are no problem as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1uke Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yup mine is also adjusted so I can't do standing backflips and can only wheelie once rolling. I play with the slipper clutch every time I use the car. I have buckled and sheared so many steel cvds now its not funny. Hopefully these new versions are stronger that I have ordered. Wish in a way I had gone for 4s as I personally don't think the e-revo can handle 6s yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Here are some pics of the nano's in the battery compartment, i don't have the little brackets in there as i've got some orion lipos that fit perfectly, all i have to do with the nano's is put the little pieces of foam in at the from of the compartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 The first thing ur break is the plastic driveshafts. I keep breaking the steel traxxas upgrade versions with 6s! I Just ordered some hopefully more beefy cvds from AsiaTees Hobbies, plus a few other little bits. Have you got a link for the driveshafts, just in case lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1uke Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Link Not sure if they are any better yet than the steel traxxas versions. But they seem to have a wider section of steel in the centre which might help stop them bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbr6fs Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks for the pics I have some 2S Nanos on the way, if the 3S fit then it's a fair assumption the 2S will. Had a bit of a nightmare getting my older Turnigy's to fit though, had to cut the door and a part of the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have to cut the chassis though, what LiPo's where they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have to cut the chassis though, what LiPo's where they? Problem is i run a few different LiPo's. Had to cut the doors from the latch back to get the Turnigys to fit, and had to cut out a section of chassis next to the latch to get the SMC's to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Damn those SMC's are chunky! Shame about the E-Revo being so limiting with batteries. I think Traxxas should release another chassis with slightly bigger battery boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Another little mod done, rear chassis brace, seen this a few times and it is supposed to stiffen the the rear section of the chassis, if it works great, if not then its just a little bit of wasted time lol (but still looks good ) Used a standard pushrod from the erevo, bolts straight onto the rear body mount and as i have the motor mount the other end i just drilled a hole and bolted it to that, if you don't have the motor mount most people just make up a plate and bolt that to the top of the shock absorber mounting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Made up some guards for my rear drivesharfts etc out of a old DVD case, hopefully this will help keep some of the mud/crap out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granby Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks to valdimir for supplying me with a hobbyking heat sink & fan, i've now replaced my castle creations motor fan with the hobbyking item, there was nothing actually wrong with the castle creations item and i never had any temp issues but i thought bigger is better Had to cut the heat sink down a bit (don't dremels seem extra noisy at 1 in the morning lol) and i made a groove in it to take a cable tie, once again thanks to valdimir for all the advice and pics Old setup Old vs new New setup Edited January 26, 2011 by Granby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 why do you even need a fan on something so efficient? I bet the motor rarely even gets warm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6s yes it does get warm , it won't do any harm in having it as cool as possible and for the sake of a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
