Traxxas 56087-1 - Manual (Page 30)

30 • E-REVO BRUSHLESS
rock crawling, or racing on low traction surfaces. Note: Heavier oil
will allow power to be transferred even with one or more tires off the
ground. This can make the vehicle more likely to overturn.
From the factory, both the differentials are filled with SAE 30,000W
viscosity silicone oil. Only use silicone oil in the differentials. Traxxas
sells SAE 10,000W and SAE 50,000W viscosity oil (see your parts list). The
differentials have to be removed from the vehicle and disassembled to
change/replace oil.
Installing the Long Travel Rockers
Use the exploded views included with the model to aid in the installation
process. All of the rockers have labels identifying their proper location;
RF (right front), LF (left front), RR (right rear), and LR (left rear). Note: The
exhaust system must be removed to access the rear rocker arms.
1. Remove shock absorbers
Remove the screws that secure the shocks to the chassis shock mounts,
and to the rocker arms.
2. Install long travel shock springs
Replace all four of the 90mm travel shock springs with the four 120mm
long travel shock springs. The front shock springs are indicated by a
silver dot, and the rear shock springs are indicated by a blue dot.
3. Install long travel rockers
Replace the 90mm travel rockers with the long travel rockers by
removing the four 4x6 buttonhead cap screws from the rocker pivot
posts. Remove the 5x11 ball bearings from the rockers. Install the same
5x11 ball bearings in the long travel rockers. Secure the long travel
rockers to the pivots with the same 4x6 buttonhead cap screws.
4. Locate push rods
Make sure that all four of the suspension push rods are located
and secured into the middle position (marked LT) on the lower
suspension arms.
5. Reinstall shock absorbers
Reinstall all four shock absorbers back into their respective locations.
MOTOR INSTALLATION
To access the motor, remove the gear cover by removing the single
screw on the top of the gear cover. The motor uses an aluminum
mount for quick, easy motor access and gearing adjustment. To
remove the motor, remove the single large hex screw using the
supplied 3mm wrench; then, rotate the motor and mount to the
side of the model, and slide backward off the post.
The motor mount was carefully
engineering to provide additional
features and adjustability. Two
sets of holes are provided for use
with aftermarket motors. These
use 3mm screws with 25mm
spacing that is compatible with
most aftermarket motors.
These are:
1. Low CG (center of gravity) installation (mounts the motor low to the
chassis for best handling performance)
2. High CG installation (mounts motor higher for more clearance for
larger motors or aftermarket heat sinks)
An additional set of motor mounting
holes is included for custom application.
This is for larger aftermarket motors with
4mm screws and 29 - 30mm spacing.
Use higher viscosity
(thicker) differential oil for:
• More power to the wheels
with the most traction.
• Racing on low-traction
smooth surfaces .
• Better performance for
climbing on uneven terrain.
Using lower viscosity
(thinner) differential oil for:
• More power to the wheels
with least traction.
• Racing on low-traction
rough surfaces.
