RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Well I built my ST Pro gearbox with B2 Diff, EXT metal idler, and B4 slipper mod, added some weight to the front, installed Jaco foams front/rear. Thinking about testing it out with 2s tomorrow if it warms up enough then maybe 3s for the end of the week. Graphite gets brittle in the cold from my experience and with the weather in the mid to upper 40's for highs I don't want any high speed wrecks.

Well took the ST Pro out today on 2s, trans held up great but some other things didn't. The motor guard broke from lifting the front end to many times (didn't run the extra weight in the front with 2s) and from doing many multiple wheel stands (only went over once) I snapped a ball cup in the front end which I don't happen to have any spares that I can find right now. I would estimate it was running easily 40+ on 2s (calculated to go 54mph mathematically), I was gonna try to make a little video but guess that's not gonna happen.

Well, strangely I'm feeling better. Infact, I feel great. I think it might just have been food poisoning or expired food. Thinking about it, the sliced ham I took from the fridge earlier at lunch to make my sandwich, was a few weeks old.
That could be it....I bet that was it!
I think I'm in the clear if I wake up tomorrow morning feeling great.

didnt see this until now. yep, build the course on a that table in my room (yes, i have that much space) as a warmer alternative to running in the driveway during the winter (where i live, 6" of hard packed snow is considered a light dusting most years). that size allows for enough space to have fun without consuming my whole room (yes, my room is huge).

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
i havent done it, it was just a plan. i might do it eventually but not in the foreseeable future (3 reasons; 1, my room is cluttered and it'll take time to clear it out; 2, it'll cost more money than i could put towards it for at least 6 months; 3, i kinda lost interest in owning something that small but cold weather is here and will bring back the desire). i could post a sketchup drawing of the table and track layout if anyone is really interested.

Watching Formula 1 racing. New F1 Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Tx. Very cool track. Got the last F1 race of the season DVR'ed. Might watch that today. Also watching Lucas Off-Road Racing Series. great show. I don't care much for TORQ. WAYYY too much "back story" BS stuff and not enough racing. TORQ takes up a whole hour, and only shows you ONE race. LORS is an hour, but you get TWO races!
Got to try one of my new Gens Ace batts yesterday.....2s 40C. I have been running 25-30C LiPos. Going to 40C is a remarkable difference from 30C. The new 40C feels like that first two minutes of a freshly charged battery, only it lasts a full 20 minutes! Or maybe more....I lost another dog bone pin before I finished the charge. 40C REALLY made my little EZrun system come alive! Wife says I have to wait for Xmas to play with the other one......
(Actually, she wanted to wrap them BOTH up, but I snarfed one before she got the wrapping paper out! 
)

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Man, that's a great deal. The ESC motor and combo go for about $130 and the battery is probably 40, so that means the rest of the car is only $30!!

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
but WHY are they including a NIMH pack instead of a LiPo? That Castle-made ESC/motor is gonna suck the guts out of that battery and kill it. Then again, maybe they've got a lot of NIMHs on their hands and they're trying to get rid of them?
$200 is a great deal for an entry-level 2wd basher, that, under LiPo power, can do 40mph outta the box. All that's needed to keep it running are some stronger bevel gear pins in the diff. (And in the CV joints, if you have those)

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
My evader st has the B2 diff mod, 3000mah lipo, stock brushed motor, and running 20/96 gearing. Since installing the lipo I have went thru 2 sets of diff guts. The truck starts out fine for a day or so(30-45mins) but then the right rear wheel will spin by hand while holding the left wheel. The bolt in the right diff output is as tight as it can get. Any suggestions?

Try replacing the spring. it may be shot...
edit: the diff spring that is, and make sure your thrust bearing is smooth, just assemble that half and pull on the screw while you turn it...
