    The drive shafts are actually nickel plated meaning they will not rust (very easily). After each run, you could always just spray on some WD-40 to the CV shafts if you're paranoid.

    Awesome details, this video even helped me replace my broken front A-arms👍🏻

    Nice job on the vid. I'm going to put these on next time I tear my diffs apart to re-oil them.

    Excellent stuff dude, as always, great video. I have a suggestion for you. You mention at the end (rightfully) the the shafts not being stainless steal renders the Mini E-Revo NOT WATERPROOF anymore because the drive shafts will rust unless emmediate cleaning and maintenance after use. Well I have come accross a really absolutely wicked product here that might actually solve that problem or at least reduce the factor by 99%. The trick is to get a hold of (if you have the opportunity to do so, by all means, get it) some Nano-Protective Coating spray. All you have to do is to spray the coating onto the driveshafts prior to mounting them. That will have for effect to render the steel 100% waterproof (150% even as it actually repels water) using Ross Nanotechnology's NeverWet superhydrophobic spray-on coating.
    You can see a demonstration video here : th-cam.com/video/7is6r6zXFDc/w-d-xo.html .
    You can also get more info on the technology of this product right here (Amazing stuff) : lancasteronline.com/business/magical-neverwet-arrives-in-stores/article_79ba958a-2ce4-5ddd-b162-b67d51319356.html
    The product Manufacturer's website url : www.neverwet.com/
    In theory, you could actually take appart anything and spraycoat it like RC parts and whatnot, and you'll end up with an absolutely FLAWLESS super auto-cleaning RC race car. Forget the hastles of time-consumming cleaning maintenance after using your favorite RC Basher, eventually just dip in water 5 seconds and voilà!! Great trick, this is the next revolutionnary step in RC maintenance, trust me !! ;)
    I've ordered a couple of cans, and will soon proceed to doing exactly what I just said above on my Mini E-Revo VXL, and (as I'm not a great video pro), I'll try go get around to posting a little tutorial on the initial maintenance and coating process and try to do a follow-up video on this idea. (Unless you get around to doing so yourself and making a new part.xx Upgrade video, which would be kool ;) - Nevertheless, this is the future of RC racing/maintenance. NO MORE RUST , DIRT or any of that crap on our loved machines !! :)

    This is one of the best RC Upgrade video I ever saw. Keep up the good work.

    I actually pushed a lot of power through mine and the stock axles keep blowing I knew you had to take apart the diff. I just didn’t believe it but now I believe it get the blue hot
    racing ones instead.

    Hey I just put these on my traxxas summit 1/16 i heard I was able to put them on but now the rear one pops out of the hole what could I do to keep them from popping out

  • @NateValdez

    im about to undertake this project as well as changing the center drive shaft... wish me luck! and thanks for the video..

  • @jamesandonian7829

    Slide a piece of heat shrink on the steel shafts to stop rusting

  • @darkeclipticheart
    @darkeclipticheart  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    lol Awesome to hear. I never knew how a E-Revo was put together before the vids I made. Everyone else who posted vids on the merv where not as descriptive or didn't show how to install the upgrades they had for it. Nice to see what goes where.

    • @RCshowmen
      @RCshowmen 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The platting keeps the rust away but since Jester is White and black why not prime and paint them?

  • @rcsendandblast1579
    @rcsendandblast1579 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I hope this is still exactly the same because I just bought a Revo / Merv and one day I might need this video again for a fresh up.

  • @watsnu2day
    @watsnu2day 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its takes a little longer to do with the TBone chassis. Aligning the TBone chassis screws on top of the spacers is frustrating,..,but this is something i gotta do with my Mamba 5700kv motor. Im surprised you didnt put in a steel center drive shaft...

    I'm seeing more cat hair on Jester than on any of your other R/C's

  • @nbtran1975
    @nbtran1975 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    hi Jester thanks for the tutorial. i just ordered also the steel CVD's. This morning i was trying to get off the backwings... it pretty stuck on the back. i removed already 3 screws on top and many other ones. if i try to play it off it looks like somewhere in the middle of it (when u look at it from the back) its stuck..... maybe just jank it out of use a knive and slice slowly from the point it stuck. what do you think? i did not see u remove it in your video, i mean the steps...

  • @carlozmrc
    @carlozmrc 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I literally know how to take apart and build a mini Erevo from watching all your videos now lol

  • @exciteproductions4two0
    @exciteproductions4two0 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I desperately need someone's help, I recently bought a set of hot racing axles and the process is basically the same as yours......except my cups don't fit through the bearing like you did, and if I keep the bearing on then I won't be able to screw the 3 main screws back in because the bearing is blocking them?

  • @darkeclipticheart
    @darkeclipticheart  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tend to be rather "gentle" with my RCs too. But at least I never have to worry about them breaking now lol.

  • @bigboytoyscanada
    @bigboytoyscanada 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So i purchased the Hot Racing version and the cuffs are wider and dont fit the bearings in the bulkhead. What am i doing wrong lol?

  • @darkeclipticheart
    @darkeclipticheart  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The oil in the diff gear is different. It's called Diff Lube. REALLY sticky stuff.

  • @zedorda1337
    @zedorda1337 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    All I have ever had to do is spray them down with WD-40 before and after use. They are not like SS bearings. You do have to grease the ends once in a while. I like to use marine grease it weathers better than most.

  • @kodambakamraji

    i will upgrade when i break the stock ones. im going on a year now and have never had any problems on 2s and the occasional 3s. then again i dont like to destroy my cars by slamming the throttle every five seconds from a stand still and i keep my slipper clutch loose

    • @markscreename
      @markscreename 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      darkeclipticheart I put the CVDs on my Summit and they work great. I read that because of the suspension angle you have to replace the suspension rockers with the E-Revo rockers. I did that before installing these but I'm not sure if it is completely necessary. You will lose a very small amount of ground clearance with the Revo rockers but I think it's an improvement as the truck doesn't roll over quite as easily.

    @paulmcnamara16 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW that looks fiddly need a lot of patience and a steady hand for that upgrade. Traxxas should do an ultimate MERV with the ally and CVD ugrades for sure. And damn the little guy is just full of dog hairs, must do your nut in buddy?

    • @joseoyea1647
      @joseoyea1647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The o-rings that hold in the pins dry out and fall off within months leading to the driveshaft falling off in the yard. I'm going back to the plastic ones.
