about the air filters... k&n makes filters for valve covers that are a perfect fit, you can get them at any auto parts store, not sure it it makes any performance diferences or not but i havent had any problems with them so far

scottywilkes

there BAD, there not made to filter fine dust that our motors are most effected by, yes they will provide less restriction, but they ingest ALOT of dust and reduce the life of your motor

bigstang

yeah they are made of paper and are not good. maybe only for a show truck and thats it

hey every 1, i am a beginner and am having a prb with my Nitro Evader BX. the prob??? it wont start. i traded a mini t for it. the evader was mising some parts and i ordered them, it was the spur gear, the glo plug and the throttle linkage. i installed everything and i was ready to start it up, but no dice... does any1 know what could be causing this??

bigstang

tune?

evader512

chek the glow battery, the tune, and sometimes it helps to have the throttle up, air filter needs to be cleaned, put some after run oil in where the glow plug goes and pull the string a few times

wheelieing just needs the proper tune, tyres and technique, im going out today to pick up an idler gear, i've gone through 2 in 3 months so it's not too bad im gunna have to rip the tranny apart today so ill take some pics for people to see what it has for internals

evader512

docphysics

HUGE difference. One is ABN the CV-RX is ABC. Its ported differently and leads to way more power and better tune.

evader512

drunkenjustin

masher 2k's.. with these tyres i can't wheely at all but i can't hold any gears together so i can't exactly test it right now

hey guys.. im new on this forum but not to rc universe.. just bought a nitro evader off of ebay. came with 3 bodies, extra tranny and new motor for 100 bucks shipped.. got it home and clened it up, took motot apart to clean and inspect.. it has AFO that was gettin a little gummy.. motor looks brnad new inside and out.. runs great.. i noticed that it has a metal spur gear on it also.. i ran the truck and noticed that the differential was slipping and sounded ruff.. so i had a new diff rebuild kit on hand (from having an electric evader) took the tranny apart and WOW ALL METAL GEARS!!! what luck!! even has a metal idle gear in it.. so i rebuild the diff and reassembled the truck.. its raining today so no luck on giving it a test run!! i also ported the manifold a little bit... boy it is quick.. what is the stock clutchbell size??? well i gotta say for 100 bucks i got a great deal.. it also came with a bunch of extra parts including a set of road rage tires and chrome rims.. anything else i need to do to TUFFEN this little truck up?

evader512

dos any one know if they make steel clutch shoose

sheerider1026

i think everyone is using the aluminum t maxx clutch shoes.. steel shoes would wear the clutchbell out i would think.. i also have a solution to the stock dtx .18 motor.. everyone complains about the sleeve being ABN and not ABC whoch is better and last a lot longer.. i found the solution.. if you get a piston and sleeve for a aquacraft .18 motor (miss vegas boat made by aquacraft) it is the same sleeve as the dtx sleeve but is ABC.. has the same port timings, bboth engines use the same block, heads, bearings, crank, and have the same crankcase.. is 33 bucks from tower hobbies.. i know this because i own a miss vegas boat and both engines are made by o.s... if you port the crankcase, and do a few other simple mods you dtx engine will flat out fly.. no joke.. i got almost 8 mph more speed out of my boat with these mods..

bigstang

these are a lot beter than the stock clutch. i ran them and i think maybe a few others

evader512

would i need to buy a traxes clutch bell or will it fit the old

bigstang

will fit stock fine

evader512

what are the part 3# for a allumim clutch

sheerider1026

well i ported my stock dtx .18 motor.. WOW.. this little motor is dynamite now.. there are 4 mods to do to the engine and it will absolutely rip.. the mods are mostly done to the ports in the crankcase(not the sleeve) the transfer ports at the bottom have metal casting that is restrictive, remove it and smoothe things out, then the exhaust port height on the block is a little too low, cut it higher so that the aluminum on the block is higher than the exhaust port on the sleeve, then take the rod and knife edge both sides of it, then next you can port the exhaust header also.. now this little motor has power right off of idle and all of a sudden it rips wide open slinging dirt and rocks everywhere.. now i need to gear it higher because it just rips the tires loose in a split second.. you can actually hear and see the truck get on the pipe (or hit its powerband) you should try it, you will be surprised.. when the stock nickle sleeve wears out you can replace it with the sleeve from a aquacraft .18 motor which is an ABC cylinder and piston.. they are the same exact thing as far as size and port layout.. its only 33 bucks from tower hobbies..
