Thank you so much I was so mad i felt like just going to buy a new servo but I read your post and sure enough i had 2 perfectly fine servo right here Sometimes I can just choke myself!

I guesse i must of flicked it while i was driving today. So yea thanks you saved me about 50$ out here in CANADA

ive put the controller down when i fill the gas up and go to pick the remote up and hit the throttle servo switch and the thing takes off like a bat out of he11.lol

Well, just got another vader for my collection, will post pics later tonight. I have decided to go with a new OS .18 to drop in right away. Could someone post a link to the OS .18 from Tower that everyones been talkin about? I see alot of them, just not sure exactly which one. Thanks.

Oh, and thanks Doc for lookin into the fit of that air filter , looks like I will need it for an OS anyway afterall, orderin tonight[sm=tongue_smile.gif]

Nice why did you buy it?

Hey guys If you send your motor back in for the waranty do you have a new 2 year waranty or does it follow the old one?

Why dont you guys talk?

i would think u would get a waranty on just the motor extended

my battery box exploded on me when i tried running my truck yesterday! i now have second degree burns, why did it blow up??

are u running a hump pack? Sounds like the battery wires shorted out and it blew one of the cells or more. Basically most of the time that battery cells explode is from user error, over charging, overheating, lack of maintainance and shorted wires etc

Thanks bigstang, for some reason, the link won't open for me. Well, will try again later, maybe it's my computer[]

yeah it just u i just clicked it and it brought me their

Yup,it was me, the link opens up now Well, time to get OS afied Anything I should know about break-in on this motor or are the instuctions pretty good? I know that on the stocker motor I used the break-in instructions that are on page 1 of this forum because the instructions that come with the stock evader are set to lean. Any info would be appriciated,thanks guys.

i really didnt do anything to mine except run really rich for like 5 tanks

Hey guys, i recently acquired an evader and in the process of checking it out, i noticed that the spur gear is not directly lined up with the clutch. Is this the normal setup for this truck? I don't have a pic to show but if you look in BIGSTANG's photo gallery; 3rd pic, it shows exactly what I'm talking about.

Also, I'm in the process of rebuilding the transmission and i wanted to know if just replacing stock thrust balls with carbides would solve the known melting gear issue, thanks!

No it won't, proper diff. and slipper clutch adjustment will help save your diff., the diff. will melt around carbide balls the same as it would melt aroung steel balls.

Oh and hey , fellow evaderite from philly!! I am right around the corner. Ever go to Hobby hut?

Yep, it's where i plan on racing my evader & raze once the track opens up again. They are actually the ones that recommended on just buying the carbides instead of replace everything with alum.

Cool, I will be racin my vader and Raze there as well, I think they have races startin as early as mid-april. Very nice track. As far as the diff. balls, I don't see how carb. balls will prevent the diff. gear from melting. Now I am by no means an expert on diffs. by any stretch of the imagination, but I would think that proper slipper settings and making sure your diff. is not to loose would be the only way of savin the diff. from melting(and also not driving like a nut). In all my diff. melt experiances, it was always my fault for either not running the diff. tight or the slipper not being set right or just doin to many dohnuts. Please, if I am wrong, somebody correct me.

Oh, OS has been ordered and will be here this weekend, can't wait!!

Hey bigstang How long exactly do you leave your glow plug on before you start it.
Cause I leave mine on for about a 1:30 and it still wont start![:@]
I can`t drive my car anywheres else because I need a heat gun![:@]
I need some help![:@]

about that but i also charge it everytime b4 i go out. maybe the mixture is off???

how can i tell?

How about I make a video of me starting my car? would you be able to tell then?

yea, that would be awesome! We can compare it to my video.

I not even gonna try and fight this one!

Just wanted to get some pics up of my updated collection. The OS is goin in the new green one. I put some new alum. on my old one. I also finally finished gettin my buggy finished and ready for the track. Hopefully Tower gets my motor out soon so I can breakin over the weekend, I think for once it won't be rainin
