Wow! Don’t ever apologize for being thorough, other guys tend to skip through fine details, I’ve learnt so much from you because your detailed. Thank you, please keep making great, informative videos for the erevo 2.0. Your the only reason my truck is still running. Cheers brother.
Trevis,, I just bought a EREVO 2.0 about 2 months ago and it has been a BEAST!! I recently broke a pin in the diff for the spider gears when I tried climbing up the front porch. I watched your video on how to remove them and its a good thing I did. The front had no diff lube in it and the rear had just a little bit more. I rebuilt them and filled them with 50k diff fluid. It prolly would of taken me a week to do it without any instruction,,, so I just wanted to say thanks to you,,,,, your video was BY FAR the best and most informative. Keep the vids comin,,, i just subscribed!!
Once again you’ve helped me out w my E-Revo. .....my truck is right this minute being worked on at my local Hobby for a blown front diff and drive Shaft After this vid .... I’m gonna do the rear rebuild my self .... thank u man.... you do deliver the goods.....peace/out..!!
Thanks for taking the time to create this video, it was great to see the process. The E-revo seems a little more involved to work on compared to my other RC's.
I agree with your first initial thought I would’ve assumed that the contour side would’ve went towards the gears as well for yes lubrication purposes, but also possible clearance issues for debris that might possibly be in there. Seems like with the flat side right up against the gear, it would mash more debris if there is some in there into the gear rather than let the fluid in thereto carry it out and away
Big Thank you ! I'm building RC Cars about 10 years now and normaly know what to do. BUT it is so much better to watch your videos before starting the work. Specialy when it is a littlebit difficult like the E-Revo because it is very different to other Truggys/Trucks . Also your Ideas and toughts are brilliant. I liked the video where you did your Setup with your selfmade Setupplates. My english is very poor but I hope you understand what I was writing haha. I understand each and every word in your videos what I can't tell about other TH-camr. I took my time for this comment like you do for your videos. You work very clean an every step is good to see. So please don't stop ! Greetings from far away AUSTRIA bet you never heard. Somewhere in Europe
Very nice and detailed work on taking down and putting back the differential. Really like how you describe all the nice little things that only a pro would know. Thanks!
The one side of the retainer is machine ground to ensure flatness and good finish and contact against the spider gear. The better surface finish through grinding makes less chance of any galling. Does it make a difference, probably not.
@9:52 it looks like the pushrod is bent. All of the diffs I have built over the years are pretty easy to fill up. I have noticed on the Revo's that after you initially add the fluid and turn the spider gears it will suck a lot of the fluid under them. So you have to be careful when you fill them to make sure you have enough in the cups before putting them together.
Great stuff. I just got my 2.0 , ,and will go through it all before I run it...I really appreciate the details you give,,,your a great help,,,Thankyou so much.......tazzzz
mineral spirits and a ultrasonic cleaner otherwise did the same. you might want to put the parts for replacement gaskets and washers. its $4 at your local parts supplier. just change the seals when you do this. they swell up over time and MUST be replaced.
Thankyou SO much,,,been waiting for a tutorial on this procedure,,,,your the man,,,great stuff looking forward to your future stuff. You helped me to proceed... the hardest part of this procedure is taking the body off,,,,,not only that trying to put it back on is twice as hard,,,,do you have any secrets on that,,,it’s always a fight,,,,sheesh! Thanks again. Jim
thanks i was wondring why i can't get the back wing off to change ot the stock a-ams to rpm (9:00 min mark) thank again now i know there to put those c clip at. (10:19 mark) boy did i goof that up last month. YOU ARE THE E REVO 2.0 KING!!!

So for dry lube you might want to try wax chain lubricant. Dirt won’t stick to it. Water won’t wash it off. Surface must be completely clean. No oil residue. So completely degreased and dry. I put this on my bike chains and it last a really long time. And you can just reapply it from time to time.
I’m running 20 million weight in all diffs. That’s what Traxxas told me. Funny they told you different. Just got off the phone. Your right! I have 1 million on hand so I’ll use that for now.
Yes it can be fixed, but it is hard to pin point the problem without hands on . It could be a lot of things. Did you shim your pinyon. Is your housing worn out, are your bearings good, etc etc.
You still like that vanquish grease? Used self right aka self destruct 2 days after I got my e revo 2.0 and it blew the front and rear diff. This was just the other day so it’s also the updated “max spec driveline”. Just wondering if that stuff would help extend the life of the gears over the stock grease or at least generic grease anyway, thanks!
Yes, definitely it's a great product. I've been using it for 2 years now. The big thing is maintain the gears and redue your grease 1 a year or more. And don't ever use the self righting button. That will destroy gears very fast.
Great detailed video, but im sorry to say, that you should not be telling people to wash bearings with WD40, it will strip them dry, it acts like degreaser against bearings.
Great channel. I really like your step by step,,,,helps a million times over,,,,,,,where did acquire the hex drill bits,,,I need a set of those,,,,,,thanks again....tazzzz
Thank you so much I really didn’t know how to do this. Quick ? How often should I do this. I got my 2.0 maybe a couple weeks ago. Just wondering how often should maintenance the diffs?
You don't need to remove the whole front end, you can open the front different up by removing the skid plates, and steering assembly then remove the bottom pins on the lower arms then you can remove all the screws holding each half of the bulk head together then remove one m3 screw from the front that holds the anodised blue aluminium bulk head brace then get the brace and push it foward and then you can just lift up the half of the bulk head then you can get at your diff
If they are support. ? You would want then to set flat and flush in a set that is flat. You will have more support. If anyone says the cup is round. Not when it comes to that small section it's flat. Even though earth is round the ground under us is flat
Trax-ass lied to you. My rear diff is so strong that I can spin the entire drive train with one wheel... the front diff just diffs and spins the opposite wheel in reverse. The rear differential has much thicker fluid given the huge disparity in resistance. . Also, my front wheel always diffs out while my rear hardly ever does. I think I'm going to run 100k weight front and rear since I don't plan on ever using swaybars. If I had to guess the rear is 50k and the front is 30k since the front feels like it has nearly half the resistance.
No, never. JUst take your time and watch the video closely. after your done you'll feel a sense of satisfaction! you can do it, and your car will be better after your done. let me know if you needany help, but the video is pretty good.
thank you for your videos I'm brand new to hobbie i love working on cars so i wanted to check RC hobbie. and i love it your videos are where go to learn cause i have no clue what im doing and you have the best detailed videos i would be lost without your videos brotha thank you

I really appreciate that.😎🤙👍
I put a rear differential in my erveo. About 8 months ago. I'm hearing a grinding. I will be tearing it down soon. Good video busy.
What a gem of a video for E Revo owners. Thank you Sir!

Vanquish grease is great!
Excellent video Travis. Thank You.
20mil center diff fluid 💪💪. Erevo 2.0 is amazing minus the rear drive shaft pops. So annoying. Limiting straps or not, mine still does it.

20 mil in the center is ok, but the front and rear diff should not have 20mil maybe 100k or less
Are these considered 1/8 diffs? I have tmaxx fastlane machine hybrid bulks and looking for heavy duty diff to use on my big block tmaxx build .
No, their not 1/8 diffs. Don't think they will work.
great video!
My metal gear/ diff has wobble when in the case which causes friction at one point in the turn when it’s all together, is there any way to fix this?
Yes it can be fixed, but it is hard to pin point the problem without hands on . It could be a lot of things. Did you shim your pinyon. Is your housing worn out, are your bearings good, etc etc.

Walmart i think. Lol
Would it be bad if someone perhaps locked the differentials with shoegoo?🤔 asking for a friend
Yea, nothing would work right and all the parts will ware out very quickly. and performance is totally gone. Bad deal.
So glad you replied so quick man, I watched some of your videos yesterday. Great way of going through each step of the way. Thanks for your help
what do you think about Alu Diff-housings? Quite espensive but would care for correct aligned cogwheels
I haven't used any yet, but i can't it being a bad thing!
@@upgradedrc3697 when I have to rebuild my diffs I will at least afford me some diff-cups...the entire housing is like 173 bucks or so....way too much
@@hirthirthirt1693 I picked up 2x Hot Racing aluminum differential cups for my E-Revo 2.0 for $13 a piece on Amazon.
right, I went with the diff-cups and the aluminum center-diff-housing.
Thank you so much I really didn’t know how to do this. Quick ? How often should I do this. I got my 2.0 maybe a couple weeks ago. Just wondering how often should maintenance the diffs?
Depending on how much you bash. Maybe twice a year
I see this procedure is a pain so many screws 😂
You don't need to remove the whole front end, you can open the front different up by removing the skid plates, and steering assembly then remove the bottom pins on the lower arms then you can remove all the screws holding each half of the bulk head together then remove one m3 screw from the front that holds the anodised blue aluminium bulk head brace then get the brace and push it foward and then you can just lift up the half of the bulk head then you can get at your diff
Ya. I've done that lots. Just wanted to show everyone how to remove the bulkheads.
UPGRADED RC fair enough
idk if it was the alcohol or wd40 but my rubber seals dont wanna go back in like they expanded
I put silicone earplugs in front and back
it works, but makes a mess lol!
Are these similar the the revo 3.3?
I really don't know. Sorry
You’re fine bro. I guess I’ll just take it apart and find out!!!
A great video...
Ill be referring back to this later on in time im sure!
Never seen anyone call traxxas in a video before, haa awesome.
Thanks 👍
Can i just take the drive cups off the dif without taking the dif out? I want too clean them.
Yes you can. It's a tight fit with the allan from underneath, but i have done it.
Are you still using the WD-40 Gel Lube on the outside of your diffs or did you go back to the Blue Vanquish?
I went back to the Vanquish blue rock lube
Pay no mind to the smarty pants haters. You keep making these great videos brother. Nice job!!!
If they are support. ? You would want then to set flat and flush in a set that is flat. You will have more support. If anyone says the cup is round. Not when it comes to that small section it's flat. Even though earth is round the ground under us is flat
Happy Birthday
Thanks brother
can we have a link to the gease you use?

Are the diff spidergears hardened?
Yes
I don't put much in mine I use 5000k or 10k.
Why more work then necessary. you were one step away from removing the sub servos lol
