My e-revo brushless edition build

Congrats on the sticky! ;)
I've been following this topic since it was started back on the Traxxas forum, good to see you here...

Say, I'm wondering why you chose to use the Summit axles vs. the CVD axles. Or any other type for that matter.
Did you want the axles to be the weak link because they are cheaper?

And why didn't you choose the RPM true track arms, alot of people that race claim they are the best.

Thanks

I chose to try the Summit shafts, I got a few complete sets on ebay for a good price, really good compared to CVDs. Up to now, they have been really good. They are just starting to show signs of wear after three months of daily bashing and racing. The weak point I would say is the slipper, I did so much testing on the slipper because I thought that if this ERBE has a very strong and effective slipper that can take all the hard hits to the drive train, there won't be any breakage. Up to now, it's been working.

I never thought of trying the RPM true tracks, I just don't like the idea of a set toe in that can't be changed, and unlike you, I have read mixed reviews of the true tracks. Mostly about the pillow ball popping out, which doesn't surprise me from my past experience with RPM carriers.
