If you were around for the E-Revo 1.0, you'll know that RPM r/c products made a cool rear suspension arm setup for the rear of the truck that eliminated the toe links, which were a very common point for failure. Typically you'd land a big jump or crash, and the rear tire would start flopping all over. Yup, you just broke, bent, or pulled out the rear toe links! Unfortunately, the knowledge of the true track wasn't as far spread, and RPM decided NOT to make it for the new 2.0 Erevo. However, someone figured out that we can make the RPM true track work on the new E-Revo 2.0!
To do so you're going to need to drill or dremel out the bearing carriers to fit the larger 2.0 bearings. It isn't very difficult, but you'll need to do a lot of drilling and sanding to make this work properly.
Once you're done, you should be able to drive (or crash) your truck without worrying about the rear toe links-because they aren't there!
What You Need:
RPM True Track for E-Revo 1.0 on Amazon: amzn.to/3afxiUD
Comes in blue too, if you want: amzn.to/2xfpzHQ
Associated MMGT Pivot Balls on Ebay: ebay.to/2UwnPlq
ASC25566 or ASC25634 are the part numbers you want for the pivot balls. The only difference is one is teflon coated, the other is not. I haven't found a ton of places with these, but ebay is usually a good spot to check.

Another option (alot more expensive) but I got the MIP CVD axles and 2 packs of the TRA8684 (need the 2 short shaft gears) to replaced the output shafts in the rear diff. Then got TRA5353X 17mm splined wheel hubs. Stronger axles (no more cup replacement) and fits right in the true track. Using stock pivot balls screwed all the way in with crazy camber until the ASC25566 I ordered from Visalia Hobby come in. Also found them at Hobby Wholesale and EBay UK.

I've already talked to RPM about this and they said there are no plans on manufacturing the trutrac for the 2.0. They said there wasn't enough of a demand for the trutrac on the original revo to justify a 2.0 version. Unfortunately we are stuck modding to fit the 2.0.

@continuecrushingrc please do an update after a few drive/bash sessions as to how this mod is holding up. It going to be a pretty expensive mod from what I can find 40$ for the true track and 20-40 for the pivot ball "can only find in Europe". Would really like to see how it's holding up. Thanks for the great content.

Maybe? Although RPM makes a lot for the e and t Maxx, not sure on which version you have though. This does the same thing, we had to “modify” this kit because rpm doesn’t (and won’t) make a true track for the revo 2.0. Rpm has a disclaimer for the the Remax that if you don’t have a certain version e/t-Maxx, you’ll have to swap some other parts too. “Tech Notes: This rear end kit works on all T-Maxx 2.5R, T-Maxx 3.3 & E-Maxx 16.8 versions. It can be adapted to work on earlier versions of the T/E-Maxx such as the T-Maxx 1.5, T-Maxx 2.5 & earlier E-Maxx versions simply by upgrading the axles & bulkheads to T-Maxx 3.3 versions. One kit will complete the entire rear end of your truck.” amzn.to/3OWYk87

@@SebastianLong WOuld have to be some heavy duty (bulky) plastic that would allow some flex. The issue with the tierods for this part is there is zero flex. They either break the axle carrier, the ends or the rods themselves. One of those things that would have been nice if traxxas just made them fixed like true-track to eliminate the problem. The stock arms can flex some.

5:30 of course you'll feel resistance. What a teribble idea to use a dremel. It's impossible to mill it even on every side, so while you seat the inner bearing it's no more in the line with the outer one.
