This happened to me today when landing poorly off my ramp. :) I looked at the exploded view and manual from Traxxas and it just wasn't clear. Your 4 minute video saved me. If this were my Arrma Vorteks I would have lost a drive shaft. This thing popping our costs nothing. Good design now that I have replaced those toe links with the 7075s! I thought for sure that was going to break. Thanks for the video again.
My son just got an Erevo from my Father-n-law for his birthday. Your videos have been helpful. Our pivot balls keep coming unscrewed, thinking we might need to upgrade the control arms
Thanks for all the awesome vids, sir. You’re my first resource on revo 2 repair. I knew this would be fairly simple, but found myself not certain on how to get it back together. I did know jamming it back in was not optimal. Lol. Great content!! Thanks again!
Thank you so much bro, your always a life saver, was sitting here for 20 mins trying to shove that ball in the steering knuckle & it’s not happening lol video definitely saved me from spending money on parts I don’t need once again thank you!!! 🙏
Thanks bro you are so awesome is my first time with a high power RC and I broke that part I was looking for it all over RU-vid and was the only one that explained thank you so much!!!!!!
Thanks so much. Have a cracked carrier on my e-maxx, so this even applies to some old trucks. Found the wrench (never knew what it was for), and getting those inserts out. Thanks again!
Hasn't happened to me yet but it's nice to confirm what to do when it does. I guess I need to keep that "suspension multi-tool" in my kit when I'm bashing away from home.
You can also adjust it with an 5 mm Allen key. If you remove that blue dust cover their is a 5 mm Allen hex attached to that 6 sided plastic weird plastic peice.
i got old slayer, missing boots and everything and the pivot balls are about ready to fall out it looks like, if they fall out do you need a new carrier to make them snug or is their some sort of bushing or something in it
I have a question when i run my revo 3.3 the rear wheels wobble I was told that it is the pivot ball if i replace the pivot ball will this fix that problem?
I am not sure, there are a lot of things that could cause it to wobble. Bent wheel, bent Axle, pivot balls, or even loose rod ends. Its just a matter of looking through it and seeing exactly what is causing it. honestly, if you are not doing speed runs, I would not worry about it unless it is just really bad.
Do you mean the ball keeps coming out of its socket? It may be stretched out. You may need new axle carriers. Once that hole gets stretched, the axle carrier needs to be replaced.
Oh. It sounds like the threads are stripped out of the A Arm. You need to get a new A Arm I would think. You could try using some type of locktite on the threads and see if it helps, but you are probably going to need a new A Arm
I just installed a new a arm. and i've tried locktite. it's wierd. it only happens to the left a arm. I am going to try rpm a arms and see if it fix this issue
