Hi Earl...remove the roll cage and then wrap tape around the entire battery tray to keep the sand out as much as possible.

And please don't stop making videos on this rc vehicle. Thanks again 👍👍🇺🇸

Thanks again earl!👍🏻 on your xmaxx comment, check out arrma safe D5 pinion gear. It has a D shape that relies on the motor shafts flat, rather than just a grub screw. I’ve noticed that the head of the grub screw on standard round hole pinion gears will get beat flat, allowing the pinion to move and take out the gears. I put lock tight on mine and my buddies, and witnessed the same on both grub screw heads. 👍🏻

Hey earl , I make a mark with a paint pen or a marker works on the side of the shock as well as on the dampening sleeve so I have a point of reference when turning the sleeve when dampening the shock,makes it easy to keep them at the same setting 🤙🤙🚧

I did this using the exact part numbers and everything. Wow what a difference! I also added 70k oil to the shocks and adjusted preload to 10mm in rear and 5mm in front. Truck is awesome to drive now. I’m gonna add some thicker diff fluid in the rear. Thanks a lot for this fix. Those plates cost me .48 cents and the nuts/bolts were about 1.20. so about 3$ and

Losi did a great job on this rc yes they should have address the flex but I know there is a reason they left it that way 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🤔

It's such a fast, and importantly HEAVY truck, I'm impressed it come out of all that with what amounts to very superficial damage

Great video

Thanks for all of your video’s on the SBR 2.0. I just picked mine up yesterday from my local Idaho hobby store. I’ve been watching your flex fix repair. Would you use aluminum panel’s over the steel ones you used if you were doing it over again? My plan is get this modification made out of the gate before I run it! I did notice just out of the box that there is a rear end diff leak on mine which sucks, it might be a seal that wasn’t installed correctly. Thanks again for your informative video’s!

Love your vids. Lots of good info. Have the same model. Only had it out once for Shsts and Giggles. Like your idea on beefing up the cage. Wanted to throw out an idea. If a person could get carbon fiber panels and use epoxy to apply the panels to the X brace. Im afraid to drill thru the webbing for fear of making an already flexing and apparent weak spot to start with even weaker. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Earl i just wanted to share the single spare tire mod I ended up doing. I posted it on Facebook if you are in there, but I'll post a little video for you on my channel. This is going to be much better, it even looks good and it setup for it. The truck performs so much better without the extra weight of two and the tires hitting and dragging is still an issue even without or with little flex.

Great video, I keep following your progress with this truck as I'm still interested in it. Can you do us a favor and check the axle housing to see if it's getting dirt/sand inside? I know the UDR's do and would love to know if this is an issue with the SBR 2.0. Also, do the LED lights stay on unless unplugged or can you turn them off from the remote? Btw, Gorilla tape was smart for the wheel wells. Shoe Goo mod is the best for lexan bodies imo. Kevin Talbot posted a live stream video for the SBR 2.0 body. I used it on my X-Maxx over 2 1/2 years ago and she's still holding up like a champ!

Nice Earl Earl

Hey Earl. I just stumbled on your channel researching the SBR. I have a decked out UDR now - but I'm having thoughts about jumping over, maybe I'm just a little envious about the size difference. Could you make a video and give an honest opinion on both? I'm pretty new to R/C'ing, so I don't know which company is really better in terms of parts/quality/etc. I just know when I walk into my local hobby store- I see nothing but Traxxas. I hear people say "Have fun when Losi stops supporting your (enter vehicle name here)", or "Traxxas are just toys". Do you have any insight or history with both companies? Also- on your speed bump test. How do I get my UDR to just skip over it like how you tuned your SBR to do? My UDR pops over i,t almost nosing down like how your SBR did when you first took it out. Thanks. I enjoy your videos!

Looks good Earl! I do have a concern you mentioned when doing the fix. That those bars will weaken over time. I'm thinking of going ahead and making a box bracket for that section as well with some 1.5mm carbon plate. I used carbon fiber plate on just the outside to box in the square. I made my pieces a little larger, but it works. I still get a little flex like you are on the lower bar. It's minimal but I do feel it will increase especially when we have warmer days in the summer. Thoughts?
