E Revo + Dewalt motor + 5s + big wheels

E-Revo, with Dewalt 12v motor, 5s lipos, really big wheels (great for snow or mud). Had to loosen the slipper clutch a bit to protect the drivetrain, but still good traction...

what shock set up do you have? Yours lands sooo smooth, makes just a "thoo" sound. Mine like makes a "thud" sound and body rattles. I like the way Ur shocks just absorb the landing.

@TheChris1696 Thanks! I am using the P2 rockers, with the optional blue & silver springs, about 5mm of preload and slightly heavier shock oil than stock in the rear. The nice thing about those big wheels is that they make it even easier to control the truck in the air, and (hopefully) land on all four wheels together...

you sure can hear the slipper clutch doing it's job! Nice jumping!!

[bluefisherking]

@elitecamaroz28 ha ha, yes, I was quite cautious about whether those big wheels would put a lot of strain on the drivetrain, so I had it a bit too loose to begin with! But yes, it did its job, though I think I may have had to replace the slipper pads not long after :-)

nice jumps, not high but still VERY smooth and entertaining!

the ability to smash it into reverse like that is handy, even if it is hard on the drive-train.

Yes, those wheels are pretty tough on the drivetrain :-) I have RCM hybrid 1/8 diffs and steel cvds in there so the diffs and axles at least are strong, so that just leaves the centre shafts as weak point. I have a MMM castleneu combo in there now, and it is always (and only) the centre shafts that go when I put those wheels back on for snow etc.

@bulldogcgb Don't know off the top of my head - I will try to see if I can dig it up. I have those wheels on a Savage Flux 5T now, and a CastleNeu combo in the E-Revo. But it was basically the largest (aka most expensive) 12v Dewalt motor with a 5mm diameter shaft

@elitecamaroz28 ultimately a clutch is a consumable item, cheaper than breaking parts. Adjusted just right, you can optimise clutch life vs. part durability (i.e. drivetrain). better to wear clutches than shafts, so let's wish bluefisherking can make his machine optimal.

@bluefisherking Are the P2 rockers the120mm rockers that come with the truck? I have the 90mm rockers on with the blue and silver springs but my back sags. I have the 30wt shock oil in it so im going to try some 60wt shock oil in the back and keep the 30wt for the front.

[bluefisherking]

Yeah, that's pretty much the limit for both the DeWalt and the EVX-2
