Thanks!

mine went out within 3 days

Thanks!

No problem!

Haha thanks. I broke the crap out of that tripod a few times.

No cap😂 90 percent of people on this channel are not going to know what that is.

Yeah that servo is weaker than the ones I use. It's faster though.

Sparky98Neon so you still using one servo and it’s doing fine or you upgraded already?

I just put up a video of me testing one 1256 vs two. I've talked to people that have tested one 1230 vs two and we all agreed that two servos are better than one even if that one is a 500 oz servo.

Outsourced RC Right on!

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me.

I did that but the tape came off somehow and water got in the tire.

Man, I'm sorry about that. Looks like I'll be putting another layer on tonight haha!

Jack Gessler I find some shoe goo or something similar works well

I camt do that with my trenchers. Ecause the hole is on the outside(in the tread) 😕

Awesome!

@@outsourcedrc now my car is smoking. I’m wondering if I put the engine back in wrong

Well that’s not good.

Awesome!

Upgrade them. I would upgrade them. These servos have been holding up great. The only thing I would change is get the water proof ones if you need them.

I did replace both of them with Savox SW0230 waterproof servo's. I followed your video for the install. Happy to have the E-Revo up and running again. My favorite R/C.

You are welcome!

They should be toed out. The rear should be toed in.

Power is more important than speed for me. It allows for more control. Fast but weak servos on a heavier RC makes it handle poorly. You won’t have the power to turn the wheels when you need it, and at higher speeds a fast Servo makes it harder to make small changes in your steering.

@@outsourcedrc OK many thanks. So are you still a fand of two Servos on the Revo 2.0 ? Regards

Yep. I still run two servos. It’s honestly not that big a deal to run one. You probably would not be able to tell a difference

@@outsourcedrc Thanks, that's what I supposed. Actually as one of my stock (9kg) broke I did not have a replacement at home so while waiting for the new ones (to order now) I drove yesterday with one 9kg. Well, a bit "lazy"/slow but still running. So having one e.g 25kg(+) Servo would be - I think - also good to drive. Let's see how it works out.. Many greetings around the plante from Germany to Australia ;-) Benjamin

I dont think its a nightmare to keep running. I think he just abuses his RC's like crazy. I dont actually watch his videos so I dont know for sure what he is doing. Its actually very rare for me to break anything on it. I dont use the self righting and I dont have any issues with the diffs. I dont think you can accelerate too fast for it, unless you are doing standing backflips all the time.

Because it pretty much is. The E Revo 2.0 really is too heavy for those servos.

My limiting straps video shows what I did. You can use 90mm straps. I have been running stock shocks since installing those limiting straps and I've had zero issues

Awesome. Thanks

Turn the tsm down

They are a bit pricey but they are good. Ive tried Hi Tec and I strip their gears but that was on my Clodbuster.

SC is for cars, SA is for aircraft. Or at least thats what Savox recommends.

I did not use an external BEC. I've had Zero issues.

They are coreless. That's just the sound they make. Even with no servo horns on them they make that noise.

I like two servos. I see people run 1 big servo all the time.

Absolutely zero electrical issues. I don't get any strange behavior from it. I can tell that the batteries don't last as long with these servos, so I know they are using more power.

Ok noted, thanks.

I run the stock springs for mine. It depends on what kind of surfaces you are driving on really.

I still think the 2.0 is worth it

These Savox are 277 oz each. Even though it's more than the dual Traxxas servos at 250 combined, the turning feels a bit sluggish and if it's sitting still in the grass, it really doesn't want to turn the wheels if there is only one of these Savoxs. I'll see if I can get my hands on a Savox 1230 and see if a single one works as well as dual 1256's. No promises.

Outsourced RC Why does it matter if it doesn’t turn sitting still? That makes no sense at all. It only has to turn while moving

I'm told that the spark is from the capacitors in the ESC. Mine does it also. The problem with the E Revo 2.0 is that it is so heavy. The stock servos are 125 oz of torque each for a total of 250 oz of torque. The better the servos the more they cost, and this heavy E Revo 2.0 needs better servos. One of those Savox SA-1256tg servos is 277 oz of torque. Its more torque than the stock servos and I've driven mine around with just one of the Savoxs in it. It does turn fine, but you can tell a difference when compared to two servos. I know one Savox 1256 is enough for the V1 E Revo. It may be enough for the 2.0 and you could just run one servo. I'd hate to recommend a different brand. There is a reason we are all running Savox servos. I'm making a video this week comparing two Savox 1256 servos to one. If you want to wait and see how my video turns out, you can. Or you can just get one of these Savox 1256 servos and maybe get a second one later. The 1256 really is one of the best servos for your money. A Hitec HS-645MG is a $35 servo and it only has 133 oz of torque and it has a slower turn rate. There just isnt any good low priced high torque servos.

Outsourced RC ahh ok that makes sense, is there a waterproof version of the 1256? Yeah I’ll probably just get 1 for now and then watch your video! Thanks for the info!

Yes there is. It's like $10 more. Let me find it.

Found it. The Savox 1210. www.amazon.com/Savox-Aluminum-Waterproof-Coreless-Digital/dp/B00EENOCDU

Outsourced RC awesome thank you!

Here for the exact same reason lol

Jeffrey Allen yea I’m pretty new to the hobby and just don’t know what to go with I thought about buying the traxxas 400 servos just because of there support behind their products and I have had 2 motors and esc replaced for free even though both times it was probably my fault

These servos are holding up great. I dont even have a BEC installed. Savox also offers a waterproof version of this servo for like $10 more each. I forget the number for it, but it has the exact same stats.

They are holding up great. I run them often and I'm hard on this e Revo. I'd get these or the 1210's if you want them to be waterproof.

Outsourced RC thanks

Outsourced RC sir, when bashing do you use TSM ?

Not really.

Outsourced RC ok, m just trying see if it was the cause of the broken servos

I don't run them. The lack of a BEC means the servos are under powered, but that's ok because they are powerful enough as they are.

My local hobby shop. They were like $34

A cheap alternative is to buy a cheap set of hex keys and cut the end off with a cut off wheel on a dremel.

They make hex drill bits. About as cheap as buying phillips head bits

Zero issues.

Yep. I'm pretty sure the hole I drilled is what ripped the tire

Had an e revo 2.0 for 2 weeks then sold it for an Arrma. The E revo ripped it's tires and stripped out a rod like you did. I work at a hobbystore and we've seen two broken E revo 2.0 already. I've owned 8 traxxas vehicles including the Xmaxx and realize the e revo 2.0 just isn't as durable so Arrma Kraton for me. get an Arrma to compare and bash around.

My E Revo 2.0 has been great. I'm ok with a few broken parts. I've heard bad things about Arrma like they are hard to get parts for and they stop supporting their older RC's. I like that Traxxas doesn't abandon their older models.

The recent deal with Arrma parts support is temporary. It is related to that whole bankruptcy thing. They should be back to normal soon. I think most of their 1/8 RC's have interchangeable parts, and the older versions can be upgraded to the newest standards. Traxxas definitely has the parts game on lockdown though.

It's too heavy. It's 3 lbs more than the v1 but it uses a lot of the V1 parts and they can't handle the extra weight.

Both mine died in a week, both at the same time, went the 30kg single savox and loving life

Ok, so Traxxas sent me 2 new servos after a 3 week back order. I installed them and they worked for 8 days, then 1 failed again. Very frustrating. Wanted to stick with Traxxas products. Guess I’ll have to find something else, a new servo that can handle the demand of the 2.0!

msn1206 I have a video up showing how well 2 Savox 1256's work. After talking with some people we have decided that 2 servos are better than one powerful servo. At least from our testing. The Savox 1210's are good for a dual water proof set up.

Outsourced RC That is absolutely false. If 2 servos were better than 1 every vehicle would come that way or have the option. However 99% run only 1.

I have both and I love them both, but the 2.0 is way better once you do a few upgrades. Once you put the limiting straps on, swap out the servos, and learn how to not blow tires, it's pretty damn tough. The V1 can't take the punishment the 2.0 can. I have a pile of V1 parts in my shop. I do need that find a solution to ripping rod ends off the Pushrods, but I have only done it twice so it's a minor issue.

The dast

yep

Thank you!

Your welcome my friend 🙂👍🙂👍

I can. I have one. Was there something in particular you were looking for?

A video about maintaining it and basic upgrades

And what springs and shock oil I should use

Well, it depends on what you are doing with it. An E Revo that is going to be jumped a lot won't have the same setup as one that will be driven around on the street. I actually drive mine in the house most of the time. I have some tiny jumps set up in my office. What are you using yours for? Typically upgrades are meant to solve an issue. What kinds of issues are you having or what do you want to change about the performance?

I secound that thinking about getting the 1/16 revo. An whats your over all review about itan im going to be doing a little bit of everything. Mostly bashing.

Not these, no. They do make these same ones but water proof.

@@outsourcedrc thanks for the info. Keep up the awesome videos man.

You are AWESOME!

So far no issues. I did this like 4 weeks ago and I drive the E Revo all the time.

Okay good. Again any issues after u installed the strap limiter? is that solved the problem?

I actually keep plastic rod ends to see if they come off. So far they have been holding strong. I should do an update video.

Smithesh N I’m trying to decide if I should put 1 or add 2 is your revo still holding up with the 2?

No. You can't. That's why I'm not hard up for money 😉
