you could probably preserve the health of the shock ends on all your RC's by extending the length of your ramp so its more gradual with a small kick at the end. Hitting short ramps at high speed will bottom out your suspension really hard. Just a thought! love the content!!

Genius fix here sir. Thank you. I’ve ordered the parts. The moment I cart wheeled (93.5 times it appeared :-), and saw the truck was looking a little weird...I knew this is what had happened. Saw your video before buying the truck. I’m amazed that people are already selling these. They are WAY more durable than the savage I own. It’s a hot rod and hot rods break (just like the one in my profile pic!). Great truck...cheapo servos (what do we expect for so cheap?? Thanks for the info dude. Smart fix here!

I kind of regret selling it, but just tight on space. The telemetry was cool too! Also, if I remember right, it had dual steering servos that sometimes, needed to be unhooked and synced up.

I just ordered hot racing 105mm limiting straps and some anodized aluminum pushrods since my stock ones are plastic and they’re bending. They’ll eventually break so I figured I get new rods and try out the limiting straps since everyone says they’re a life saver.

This is something we used to do to our 5B/5T's back when those 1/5 scales blew up in popularity. I would stick with the 100mm and no spacer. If you look at the video clips, whenever you manage a nice flat landing when the spacer isn't installed, the rear suspension does it's job and the Revo lands well. With the 10mm spacer you added, the rear end doesn't function as well and the Revo's back end always bounces hard even when you do manage a good landing. If anything, try a 5mm spacer but it looks like the spacer isn't needed.

Outsourced RC it's not a matter of the rear suspension dropping lower, aka, droop. It's a matter of allowing the springs to decompress more when the the rear end is on the way up.

Did you try connecting straps from the rear brace mount out to the pusrod ends? Then it would perhaps help save ripping any of the ball ends out. I'm about 50/50 as to which ones rip out, either the shock or a pushrod end. Might need to get an alloy body mount so it doesn't flex though for that to help. Still use the plastic mounts for the body, but the "tower" part would be alloy as the anchor.

You have inspired me to make my own. Used some plastic coated cable I had when I made these for my 5B many years ago. However, I didn't have any eyelets small enough/strong enough to work, so I had to fold the wire into small loops, wrapped them with more wire, then soldered it a lot and heat shrunk. Not quite as nice as yours, but hopefully will help keep all ball ends from ripping off. Seems fairly solid and I made them just short enough to where the arms hang gently on the cable vs the suspension at full extension. gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap02-rear.jpg gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap03-top.jpg gmarquee98.x10host.com/myPics/98gmarquee/erbe/2018-0611-ERBE-RearShockLimitStrap01-side.jpg
