My e-revo brushless edition build

So then for the 2.6mm would a 7/64 (2.78mm) work for the output shaft?

The real measurement of the hole for the spider gear pin in the shaft is 2.5 mm. I went with 2.6 because it gives me a little more play just in case the hole I made is off by a thousandth or two. If you have a way of making an absolute centered hole in the shaft you can use a 2.5 mm bit. If you're like me and your work is ''precise enough'' then I suggest a 2.6 mm. 7/64th or 2.78 mm is too big IMO, the pin will wobble in the shaft too much.

It took me more than 4 hours total but I finally did it. My ERBE is now running with 5.5 mm bullet connectors.

ESC bullets


Ready to go with a couple 2S packs plugged in


The parallel harness


Now I don't know what to do next on this ERBE. I think I covered just about everything and addressed a lot of issues. The thing is running so well now when I race or bash it. I'm out of ideas, I need to get a new RC. How about a Losi 8ight E 2.0 buggy.

If your just bored you could put some heat shrink tubing on the female side of the motor connectors on the esc. Anything metallic gets up in there and hits two of those motor connectors and poof! goes the esc. I think that could be one of the reasons some MMM's mysteriously die.

Thanks for the project that will occupy 10 minutes of my time But seriously, really? I never thought about those female connectors sticking out of the ESC. Can they really be shorted out when batteries are plugged in? If yes then I will certainly put heat shrink on them.

I would assume that would short it out, I'm not gonna test it on mine though

I don't think they can be shorted by a piece of metal, I mean if they could, the ESC would have been done differently. The ESC motor bullets would be covered if they could be shorted. Maybe a tecky can clarify this? please.... pretty please...
