Everyone's driving style is different so parts tend to break/not break per person. I drive my trucks pretty hard and everything I listed has broke, then was upgraded. How can you burn through slipper pads when they are aluminum. That doesn't make sense. And you do not want to set the slipper tight especially since the erevo does not have 1/8 scale diffs. Sure they are strong but they will fail faster with a tight slipper. Drive shafts are the number one part that break first and have been reported by most erevo users. And rear skid plates depends on if your racing it or not. I go through plastic skids fairly quick and even quicker when racing. As for the stock servo setup, 2 servos will never be in sync which each other. One will try to over power the other which will result in the other failing. With any kind of crashes, they will go out of align and will start working against each other. A single servo setup is the best way you can go in any truck.
Seriously, I have read through many of your negative posts and have held back from saying anything for the longest time. But now you want to reply negative crap about my post that was in my opinion directed to the OP only, I'm not holding back anymore. You really need to get a life and stop being so negative. You say nothing of yours ever breaks and stock parts are this and that. Well if you ever drive your trucks you would know that certain parts will break especially when driven hard. Everyone has there own driving techniques so you can't say that certain parts will hold up cause yours do not break. You need to grow up.
Now to the OP, all my suggestions are based on bashing hard. From the sounds of it that seems like what you want to do. Try running the stock parts and when they break, upgrade from there.
Oh and Casey, you can reply back with your sarcasm and negativity, I will not loose any sleep over it.

EDIT: By the way, all the parts that I listed that broke, that was my wife driving. The erevo is hers and she mostly bashes with it.
This CaseyDDR guy just cracks me up. Just ignore the little bastard.
I'm guessing he is just desperate for attention.
My E-Revo has come and gone, but I would say there are many weak spots. Just start out stock and start up-grading as you break stuff (and you will break stuff). The E-Revo can be made into a strong basher, just be prepared to spend a lot of money replacing parts as the break.
I would run the slipper on the loose side too, the stock diffs and drive shafts can't handle the power a brushless system will put thru them. Shimming the ring and pinion is key to getting any amount of life out of them, they are under sized for that size and weight of the truck and will wear very quickly if not shimmed and maintained properly.
