    Endbell popping

    My e-revo will probably arrive tomorrow but I have already ordered the 7XL last night from impaktrc with some pinions.
    I've read about those popping endbells. Do these happen only to XL cans or also to L cans? Are those rc-monster clamps a must for these motors?
    Thanks.

    Off-road driving causes a good bit of vibration and jarring to the motor. Its not a guaranteed thing to happen, but its likely. I suggest the clamps to take care of the problem before it happens. No downtime.

    i would just bite the bullet and buy the clamp/heatsink....the endbell caap comes off because of vibration AND heat!
    Been there, done that.

    Here's my custom clamp in my maxx.A couple little notches in the motor plate and .50$ on parts,it works just fine.You'd have to modify it some for the Erevo,but if you used countersunk screws you could just drill through the motor mount.
