My e-revo brushless edition build

[mistercrash]

It was an exciting race weekend, not as many MT racers showed up due to the threatening weather but the rain stayed in the clouds and the racing kept on going. The ERBE was running fantastic, I TQed and ran the fastest lap but a steering servo failure kept me from taking the win in the main so I got second place.
Three things failed on the truck this weekend, the servo stripped gears, when I took it out to know the extend of the damage, I noticed that one of the ''ears'' was broken.



And finally, the rear body mount brace I made with a carbon fiber rod broke. I was jumping the triple in the back stretch and while the truck is just leaving the jump, I notice a marshall in the middle of the path of my ERBE so my reflex was to apply the brakes.... in mid air I landed very badly with the back of the truck hitting the ground first. That is when I broke the brace.



This goes to show that a brace is needed to keep the rear body mount from flexing too much when running a rear wing. Without the brace, it might have been the body mount or even the chassis breaking. I made a new one using a spare steel P2 pushrod.

This is what I made for my steering servo after I replaced the gears and put a new upper case on it.



These little blocks spread the tension of the screws and nuts I use evenly and keeps the servo case from breaking.
