I keep plenty of spare driveshafts and a couple of spare diffs, but I needed neither that day. I don't make a habit of doing this though - have only done it the once. It's way more fun breaking stuff by doing huge jumps.
If I couldn't afford to replace a few parts from time to time I would take up a different hobby.
@ubdb1 oh yea, it is very fun every once-in-a-while to backflip lolz, but it is also good that you were moving alittle bit when you did it also, it does take some strain off the diffs if you do so, and not just standing still, 0-60+ in like 2 seconds thats whats gunna happen lolz
I was a nitro guy once, and I still love the sound and the smell, but I'll never go back. Electric is just so much easier and cleaner. No tuning and messing around, just charge and go. Not to mention truck loads of torque as you can see.
My mamba monster is having a problem, i plug it in and nothing at all works, all the wiring is perfect there, is no smoke or smells, could any one help me?
@jjonny52 Does it have a switch on it still? Those are notorious for failing if a bit of dirt or dust gets in them. The same happened to me. I took it apart and cleaned it out, but failed again not long after. I then removed it completely and just shorted the two wires together - haven't had a problem since (but need to remember to unplug batts after each run)
@jjonny52 They will still tell you to ship it to them and its the technicians choice if to fix it for free or charge you(the way they decide if they see any damage to the components inside). if you do end up paying you get a 1yr warranty and maybe a newer model esc. You should also bring your esc to your local hobby store and ask whats wrong with the esc.
@jjonny52 just a thought have you calabrated the remote to the esc, the end points may need to be set. I have a mmp I had to calabrate it otherwise it wouldn't work.
Awesome- thank you for making this video. These Brushless E-Revos are soo soo extremely powerful when you run two three cell lipos in series. Massive power is an understatement. And these trucks can do this all day without breaking anything. Even if something breaks it's low cost parts. That's Traxxas. Strong- low cost parts. Great Truck :)
@ubdb1 No it's stupid & dumb, that's what happens when you mix a light car with too much power for no reason. Those things cant even take off without flipping, unless you start super-duper slow.
IMO there's no such thing as too much power - you just need to take care of how you apply it. With correct slipper clutch adjustment I can take off very quickly without even lifting the front wheels, whereas to do backflips you have to have it very tight - too tight for normal use.
You're right, backflips are a silly thing to do (I've only ever done it once for this vid) but it was definitely fun.
@ubdb1 my rustler vxl doesnt do backflips (yet lol) but it does take off so fast it flips back onto the top of the body. and i agree. with the slipper loose, it accels so fast, but tight, it goes fast, but wheelies alot. plus backflips are so fun to do and show off to any crowd :D
@soulessomg i got a savage flux and a e revo and a 1 16 e revo srry but i can do so much more with the e revo and when it braked it little parts lake dogbonesor front arms but i did a jump that i did with a flus and the front arms both broke and the dog bones all snaped and all the gears striped they were both stock
In this video I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. They are not up to the demands of the Mamba Monster though and I have since sold them. I now run 2 Zippy 2S 30c 5000mAh packs in series (for 4S total) for bashing or 2 Zippy 3S 30c 5000mAh packs (6S total) for speed runs
BL revo's are the bomb lol..I still think they do better back flips then the flux too..yours was clearing the wing and all easily lol..Or i am bias because i have the BL revo also :)
@Rkgriffy first, the flux is alot dam bigger, second the flux system is cheaper then whats in the revo. so u cant compare, ones built for bashing... ones built for speed runs.only.
@warranqe actually the E-Revo is longer than the Flux and has a longer wheelbase and wider track. The Flux is taller and has a slightly wider chassis, but they're pretty much exactly the same size.
They also have exactly the same power system. The Flux Tork 2200kv is simply the Mamba Monster Max re-badged for HPI.
Undoubtedly the Flux is a great basher, and the E-Revo more tuned for racing, but check some of my other videos for some serious ERBE bashing. The thing refuses to break.
@ubdb1 give it too me. id break it within first few mins. give me a flux.. wait already have one... havnt broken anything for 6 months an i put the thing fucking high an onto solid ground
hey mate question for the batteries, just getting back into RC, the Lipo batteries if they are used properly with charging and such are they dangerous wenting tooo get them but then you see some videos bout the bad they are capable of an it gets me a bit nervous ??????????
No, Lipo batteries are not dangerous if they are not abused. Treat them with respect and they are as safe as any other batteries. The vast majority of videos you see where they burst into flames are people intentionally over-charging them to make them explode. Most modern chargers have safeguards built in to prevent overcharging and the battery chemisrty has been made more stable in recent years. Read up about proper care of lipo batteries and get back into it. You won't believe the difference.
In this video I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos labelled winforce. They are not up to the demands of the Mamba Monster though and I have since sold them. I now run 2 Zippy Flightmax 2S 30c 5000mAh packs in series (for 4S total) for bashing or 2 Zippy Flightmax 3S 30c 5000mAh packs (6S total) for speed runs.
This is the 1/10 scale and yeah, it's fast alright, especially on 6s.
In this vid I was using the optional included 54t spur gear and 2 3s LiPo batteries in series (6s or 22.2V total). The only non-stock parts were the wheels and tyres.
That's what I would have thought, but incredibly those same diffs are still going strong. (Although I haven't been backflipping much since this video was made 8 months ago). I actually opened up the rear diff last week for the first time since I've had the truck (about 1 year) and replaced the bearings and fluid, but everything else was still looking good.
Yeah, I was geared for speed runs, but that day I only had 18/54 gearing in and hit a top speed of around 60mph. I've since done other runs with 25/54 gearing and hit around 69mph, and yes, it could still backflip on that gearing.
@ubdb1wow that motor has a ton of power. i broke a back skid plate doing backflips with my stock e revo. if you cack up really fast then floor it it will backflip
In this video I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. They are not up to the demands of the Mamba Monster though and I have since sold them. I now run 2 Zippy 2S 30c 5000mAh packs in series (for 4S total) for bashing or 2 Zippy 3S 30c 5000mAh packs (6S total) for speed runs.
how much mroe do the big e revos cost than the small ones, im not sure waht to get but ive heard that a stock e revo, the small size can do 60kph stock. whats the proce difference?
so this is the saem gearing as the one where it was doing speed runs of 110kph? also this is the bigger version of the e- revo, do you reccomend the small version? what sort of speeds can the small one do?
Actually I got that wrong - in this video it was running 18/54 but in the 110kph it was 25/54 (but was still capable of doing backflips). I haven't driven the 1/16 but it looks like a lot of fun and very fast - about 100kph with stock motor and one guy did 132kph with a mamba max 9000kv.
It's a matter of preference. I like to bash in grass and on bmx tracks so the big one is better for me. IMO the 1/16 is more at home on smoother surfaces like roads and skate parks.
Do you think it would be in my best interests to have the hobbyshop fix the problem as i did the same thing to my Rusler VXL it also had smoke pouring out of the gear case after a spur gear change and i had to replace the full transmission and slipper clutch ! I took the spur gear off the e-revo and the disc is turning brown ! I might get a full transmission and spur gear set already taken out of a new e-revo off ebay ! What do you think???Thanxs Damian!!!
No, your transmission should be fine and if your spur still has all it's teeth it's fine too. At worst you just need the slipper clutch rebuild kit (traxxas part # 5352x).
Check that the plate is not warped first. If the pads are shiny turn them over or scuff them with sandpaper. Getting it right just takes patience, but no real expertise.
I have just installed the 54T spur gear and now the e-revo makes a high pitched sound like it is slipping to much and the gear cover has smoke coming out of it can you please help!!!
Your slipper clutch is too loose. Check out the e-revo owner's manual for instructions on how to adjust it properly. It's possible you've already glazed the pads and/or warped the plate by overheating it. If it's just the pads either turn them around or scuff them with sandpaper. If the plate is warped you might need the slipper clutch rebuild kit.
LOL. Bit like telling the doctor your eye hurts when you poke it with your finger!
Standing backflips are punishing on the drivetrain and I've stopped doing them. You'll notice in my video I always used a rolling start, never from a standstill which helps ease the strain. The wheels and tyres I used were also lighter than stock which also helps. Make sure you're off the throttle by the time you land. Maybe try loosening your slipper a tiny bit or adding a little punch control. Harder to flip tho
I am having trouble with my slipper clutch!I have just changed the the 54T spur gear as supplied and now when i run the e-revo smoke starts to pour out of the gear cover and the spur gear is very,very hot what am i doing wrong! Any help would be greatly welcomed!!!
I find the best way to tune the slipper is by trial and error. On a high traction surface under hard acceleration you want it to slip for a second or so before the high pitched squeal stops. Start a bit loose and make very small adjustments (1/16th of a turn) until it's just right. Don't keep running if it either always slips (you'll burn up the pads and warp the plate), or never slips (you'll break driveshafts). If you get it right, then it backs off try some loctite on the nut.
Back in those days I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. They are well below the requred specifications for the MMM though, and I got rid of them and bought some 30c 5000mAh 2s and 3s packs. Believe it or not it has even more punch with the 3s than it did in this video, although I no longer do backflips - too hard on the drivetrain.
i have a question. i have a slash and i want a ton of speed. wat kind of motor and ESC should i get. im still working on gears cauz i dont want da motor to get to hot. i might buy some fans to. right now everything is stock exept for da wheelie bar dat i put in
A lot of the slash guys go with the vxl-3s with the velineon 3500 kv, partly because it's waterproof, and easy to use, etc.
Some others go for the Castle Creations Sidewinder - should be good for high speed, but depending how heavy the slash is, it might be pushing it a bit.
For all out ridiculous speed consider the CC Mamba Max Pro/4600kv combo. That will run up to 6s lipo (the others only do 3s) and should see you at or above 80-90 mph. Your tyres and driveline may need upgrading though.
haha lol man ive been running my revo for two days now on 6s lol so far i twisted three drive shafts trying to back flip and doing speed runs i blew up two talons. today i went to show off and do a back flip and dtriped my rear diff. : /
Try backing off the slipper a bit - there's a very fine line where it will still backflip and wheelie, but will still slip just enough to offer a bit of protection to your drivetrain. As for the Talons, mine lasted about as long as yours on 6s. Both diffs still original and untouched after 9 months of bashing though.
I haven't tried the CVDs, but from what I have read on the forums nothing will last a long time if you continually do backflips. They will last longer than the stock shafts, but will probably eventually bend. In the meantime they may transfer extra stress to the diffs and the rest of the drivetrain that is harder and more expensive to repair than the occasional twisted plastic shaft.
hey man i got mine to and my lipos should be in soon idk what typew of gearing i should put in the 65 or 54 spur. id like to have a little bit of speed but mainly rolling backflips lol. what gearing are you using???
The gearing used in this vid was 18/54 on 6s lipo. If you're going with 6s try the 18/65 that it comes fitted with first to get used to the high speed handling first before swapping to the 54t spur.
Rolling backflips are fun and look cool and all, but are hard on the drivetrain. You need to have the slipper clutch tighter than recommended and you will break driveshafts so stock up on those. This vid was the only time I've done rolling backflips, then I backed off the slipper to reduce breakages.
thatnks for your response. i ended up putting in the 54 i ran it on the two 7 cells. but i also got an revo 3.3 race one and a rustler vxl on 3s i clocked that at 73mph. i plan to only do the backflips whenever theres ppl around to make it look cool. lol thanks for all the info
thetoyz has them for $650 and you can get 2s 5000mah 30c lipos for it from hobbycity for around $32 each (plus shipping from Hong Kong) and an appropriate charger from the same place for under $50.
Of course you can spend a lot more, but you don't have to.
haha thanks man. i looked on traxxas and other forums. i decided its not a big enough problem to worry about and im just gonna run it haha. im only runnin 2s tho.. i didnt want to be rediculous fast and have blowouts lol
when you had your stock tires did you have any tire shake because of the tires being glued a little off? I got mine yesterday and they are a tad off in the rear... do your new tires ride smoothly??
Mine weren't too bad in terms of balance, but they shredded the first time I tried a high speed run with it. The replacement tires I glued myself - did a reasonable job of getting them balanced for my first attempt, but not perfect. A lot of people use a tire balancer or modified prop balancer to get it just right. Head over to the forums on the Traxxas website for lots of good tips.
I have left the LVC (Low Voltage Cut-off) set to Auto as I run both 4s and 6s. In the latest castle link software revision you can change the voltage per cell for the auto setting. I have since changed it from 3.0v to 3.1v.
No problems as such. I have shredded the stock tyres and broken a few parts and trashed the body through some serious bashing but nothing that wasn't my fault, and nothing expensive or hard to replace. Got to expect a few broken bits when you have a 10lb truck doing a scale speed of 700mph.
That was the only time I've done backflips with it, but I generally do drive it fairly hard. I've had no problems with the gearbox at all, just snapped a few driveshafts.
If you're asking about the setup, it's completely stock except the HoBao wheels and tyres. That day I was using the included option 18/54 gearing on 6s 3000mAh 30c LiPos.
If you're asking about the characteristics, it's kind of like a wild, yet obedient animal.
looks like someone likes broken drivshafts

Yeah, I was geared for speed runs, but that day I only had 18/54 gearing in and hit a top speed of around 60mph. I've since done other runs with 25/54 gearing and hit around 69mph, and yes, it could still backflip on that gearing.
You got it. It's an insanely insane machine.

@ubdb1wow that motor has a ton of power. i broke a back skid plate doing backflips with my stock e revo. if you cack up really fast then floor it it will backflip

what tires are you using?
MrSuperNathan 2 years ago
In this video I was using HoBao Racing Trapezoid tires (offroad) for the Hyper ST.
ubdb1 2 years ago
ok thanks
are you using a LiPo Battery
if so what battery are you using?
MrSuperNathan 2 years ago
In this video I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. They are not up to the demands of the Mamba Monster though and I have since sold them. I now run 2 Zippy 2S 30c 5000mAh packs in series (for 4S total) for bashing or 2 Zippy 3S 30c 5000mAh packs (6S total) for speed runs.

how much mroe do the big e revos cost than the small ones, im not sure waht to get but ive heard that a stock e revo, the small size can do 60kph stock. whats the proce difference?
angrygunsmith 2 years ago
The price difference is significant. on a popular online store the 1/16 is $285 and the ERBE is $700
ubdb1 2 years ago
what charger are you using for the lipos?
savagepower100 2 years ago
I'm using the EC Power EC6 - a cheapie I bought on ebay. It's OK, but since then better ones have become available in that price range.
ubdb1 2 years ago
so this is the saem gearing as the one where it was doing speed runs of 110kph? also this is the bigger version of the e- revo, do you reccomend the small version? what sort of speeds can the small one do?
angrygunsmith 2 years ago
Actually I got that wrong - in this video it was running 18/54 but in the 110kph it was 25/54 (but was still capable of doing backflips). I haven't driven the 1/16 but it looks like a lot of fun and very fast - about 100kph with stock motor and one guy did 132kph with a mamba max 9000kv.
It's a matter of preference. I like to bash in grass and on bmx tracks so the big one is better for me. IMO the 1/16 is more at home on smoother surfaces like roads and skate parks.
It backflips very easily too!

Do you think it would be in my best interests to have the hobbyshop fix the problem as i did the same thing to my Rusler VXL it also had smoke pouring out of the gear case after a spur gear change and i had to replace the full transmission and slipper clutch ! I took the spur gear off the e-revo and the disc is turning brown ! I might get a full transmission and spur gear set already taken out of a new e-revo off ebay ! What do you think???Thanxs Damian!!!
dman6479 2 years ago
No, your transmission should be fine and if your spur still has all it's teeth it's fine too. At worst you just need the slipper clutch rebuild kit (traxxas part # 5352x).
Check that the plate is not warped first. If the pads are shiny turn them over or scuff them with sandpaper. Getting it right just takes patience, but no real expertise.
ubdb1 2 years ago
i can do that with my 1/16 e revo lol
STUNTINrockstar 2 years ago
dont, do some research and fix it yourself, you might pay more money to them than fixing it yourself, and you'll get more experienced

Hi,
I have just installed the 54T spur gear and now the e-revo makes a high pitched sound like it is slipping to much and the gear cover has smoke coming out of it can you please help!!!
dman6479 2 years ago
Your slipper clutch is too loose. Check out the e-revo owner's manual for instructions on how to adjust it properly. It's possible you've already glazed the pads and/or warped the plate by overheating it. If it's just the pads either turn them around or scuff them with sandpaper. If the plate is warped you might need the slipper clutch rebuild kit.
ubdb1 2 years ago
please ! i need help ! when i do this, the erevo lands and the shaft brokes(always). i have simple e revo with mmm in it ! HELP!!!
bugjoke489 2 years ago
LOL. Bit like telling the doctor your eye hurts when you poke it with your finger!
Standing backflips are punishing on the drivetrain and I've stopped doing them. You'll notice in my video I always used a rolling start, never from a standstill which helps ease the strain. The wheels and tyres I used were also lighter than stock which also helps. Make sure you're off the throttle by the time you land. Maybe try loosening your slipper a tiny bit or adding a little punch control. Harder to flip tho
ubdb1 2 years ago
Hi,
I am having trouble with my slipper clutch!I have just changed the the 54T spur gear as supplied and now when i run the e-revo smoke starts to pour out of the gear cover and the spur gear is very,very hot what am i doing wrong! Any help would be greatly welcomed!!!
dman6479 2 years ago
I find the best way to tune the slipper is by trial and error. On a high traction surface under hard acceleration you want it to slip for a second or so before the high pitched squeal stops. Start a bit loose and make very small adjustments (1/16th of a turn) until it's just right. Don't keep running if it either always slips (you'll burn up the pads and warp the plate), or never slips (you'll break driveshafts). If you get it right, then it backs off try some loctite on the nut.

what batteries?
Cartkid24 2 years ago
Back in those days I was running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. They are well below the requred specifications for the MMM though, and I got rid of them and bought some 30c 5000mAh 2s and 3s packs. Believe it or not it has even more punch with the 3s than it did in this video, although I no longer do backflips - too hard on the drivetrain.
ubdb1 2 years ago
i have a question. i have a slash and i want a ton of speed. wat kind of motor and ESC should i get. im still working on gears cauz i dont want da motor to get to hot. i might buy some fans to. right now everything is stock exept for da wheelie bar dat i put in
coldandscared 2 years ago
A lot of the slash guys go with the vxl-3s with the velineon 3500 kv, partly because it's waterproof, and easy to use, etc.
Some others go for the Castle Creations Sidewinder - should be good for high speed, but depending how heavy the slash is, it might be pushing it a bit.
For all out ridiculous speed consider the CC Mamba Max Pro/4600kv combo. That will run up to 6s lipo (the others only do 3s) and should see you at or above 80-90 mph. Your tyres and driveline may need upgrading though.

Yeah, it's stock except for wheels and tyres. It was also lowered using cable ties around the rockers.
ubdb1 2 years ago
haha lol man ive been running my revo for two days now on 6s lol so far i twisted three drive shafts trying to back flip and doing speed runs i blew up two talons. today i went to show off and do a back flip and dtriped my rear diff. : /
sitton440 2 years ago
Oops. Bet you had fun doing it though ;)
Try backing off the slipper a bit - there's a very fine line where it will still backflip and wheelie, but will still slip just enough to offer a bit of protection to your drivetrain. As for the Talons, mine lasted about as long as yours on 6s. Both diffs still original and untouched after 9 months of bashing though.
ubdb1 2 years ago
will any thing happen to cvds on 6s backfliping likewill they last a long time
CODYtheHITMAN 2 years ago
I haven't tried the CVDs, but from what I have read on the forums nothing will last a long time if you continually do backflips. They will last longer than the stock shafts, but will probably eventually bend. In the meantime they may transfer extra stress to the diffs and the rest of the drivetrain that is harder and more expensive to repair than the occasional twisted plastic shaft.
ubdb1 2 years ago
ok when i get the e-revo im just keeping the stock ones
CODYtheHITMAN 2 years ago
hey man i got mine to and my lipos should be in soon idk what typew of gearing i should put in the 65 or 54 spur. id like to have a little bit of speed but mainly rolling backflips lol. what gearing are you using???
sitton440 2 years ago
The gearing used in this vid was 18/54 on 6s lipo. If you're going with 6s try the 18/65 that it comes fitted with first to get used to the high speed handling first before swapping to the 54t spur.
Rolling backflips are fun and look cool and all, but are hard on the drivetrain. You need to have the slipper clutch tighter than recommended and you will break driveshafts so stock up on those. This vid was the only time I've done rolling backflips, then I backed off the slipper to reduce breakages.
ubdb1 2 years ago
thatnks for your response. i ended up putting in the 54 i ran it on the two 7 cells. but i also got an revo 3.3 race one and a rustler vxl on 3s i clocked that at 73mph. i plan to only do the backflips whenever theres ppl around to make it look cool. lol thanks for all the info

skatesoft44 2 years ago
thetoyz has them for $650 and you can get 2s 5000mah 30c lipos for it from hobbycity for around $32 each (plus shipping from Hong Kong) and an appropriate charger from the same place for under $50.
Of course you can spend a lot more, but you don't have to.

haha thanks man. i looked on traxxas and other forums. i decided its not a big enough problem to worry about and im just gonna run it haha. im only runnin 2s tho.. i didnt want to be rediculous fast and have blowouts lol
Lamorgini41 2 years ago
when you had your stock tires did you have any tire shake because of the tires being glued a little off? I got mine yesterday and they are a tad off in the rear... do your new tires ride smoothly??
Lamorgini41 2 years ago
Hey, welcome to the mad world of ERBE!
Mine weren't too bad in terms of balance, but they shredded the first time I tried a high speed run with it. The replacement tires I glued myself - did a reasonable job of getting them balanced for my first attempt, but not perfect. A lot of people use a tire balancer or modified prop balancer to get it just right. Head over to the forums on the Traxxas website for lots of good tips.

I have left the LVC (Low Voltage Cut-off) set to Auto as I run both 4s and 6s. In the latest castle link software revision you can change the voltage per cell for the auto setting. I have since changed it from 3.0v to 3.1v.

sportsportsport 2 years ago
Running some cheap 3s 3000mAh 25c lipos called winforce. I have been happy with them but they are not up to the specifications demanded by the MMM.
The truck is completely stock except for the wheels and tyres which are HoBao Racing off-road tyres.
ubdb1 2 years ago
nice!.....have you had any problems with it?
sportsportsport 2 years ago
No problems as such. I have shredded the stock tyres and broken a few parts and trashed the body through some serious bashing but nothing that wasn't my fault, and nothing expensive or hard to replace. Got to expect a few broken bits when you have a 10lb truck doing a scale speed of 700mph.

If you're asking about the setup, it's completely stock except the HoBao wheels and tyres. That day I was using the included option 18/54 gearing on 6s 3000mAh 30c LiPos.
If you're asking about the characteristics, it's kind of like a wild, yet obedient animal.
