I still tap my revo ends partially to lower the chance of stressing the plastic fwiw...

I'm running 6mm brakeline and 8/32 zinc coated all thread the cheapest, not stainless, not hardened, I wanted it to bend vs break... I've broken a wraith axle housing, pulvarized half a dozen frt wheel bearings, and have wore out, maybe whored out is a better term, a set of Revo ends trying to clear the x-over at the local track and some Foffing heroics. I have yet to hurt a link or break an end. I've posted vids everywhere, I'm known for my responsible driving style and good lines

here's the link
Axial Wraith videos - YouTube

Were you tightening the rod end all the way up against the sleeve?

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-05-2011, 05:20 PM

im gonna start 2mrw on redoing the links.

hopefully the weather will clear for this weekend.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-06-2011, 11:15 AM

swapped out links for the revo pushrods..
mucho better,even cycling the suspension is smoother.

time to get it dirty this weekend!

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-06-2011, 05:55 PM

JUGGARNAUT · 12-06-2011, 06:34 PM

#tra 5318 push rods
with traxxas jato rodends on 1 end of the rods.

because mine sits so low i can get away with the straight links on top.
if it were up a bit more id have to bend them a lil bit.

JUGGARNAUT · 12-06-2011, 07:36 PM

Gotcha.

rollincoal3500 · 12-07-2011, 12:38 PM

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-08-2011, 11:02 AM

video lil hillside in my front driveway...@65-70 degree incline..

Meatwad · 12-08-2011, 11:23 AM

The root across the center of the climb definitely tosses a monkey wrench in. It's cool to see it driven hard

Do I see a triple lundy flip with a mctwist in the future

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-12-2011, 11:30 AM

oh,it got used....

upgraded from ripping out rod ends to breaking axle shafts..

video coming..

DiEzel · 12-12-2011, 12:04 PM

Ahhh RC3WD Strikes again! Grab some axial universals and you wont have that issue anymore

. Good to see the rig getting used. Should throw a longer bolt/nut on that steering link so ya dont lose it mid run.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 12-13-2011, 10:06 AM

after the wash...

what a mess to clean up...but boy was it fun!!
it ate the hillside and spit it out,no problem!

Meatwad · 12-13-2011, 10:38 AM

Still a nice setup and still nice to see it not a shelfer. Maybe those rod ends ripping out were acting as a slipper clutch protecting those xvd's

I was kinda leery about reusing revo rod ends but they refuse to rip out... If that gives an idea to their durability. Threaded first of course.

JUGGARNAUT · 12-13-2011, 12:28 PM

can't get enough of this Killer set up..are the metal pins weak in those? I saw where someone said "replace those pins with cut off drill bits".
