Im not sure if this was aimed at me, but you CAN swap the brushless gearbox in, its just gonna cost quite a bit more because you need the gearbox and extra parts. However, it all depends on what reliability is worth to the person buying it.

which i will state for what feels like the 5th time, doesn't have the same transmission as the EXT or evader brushless...

yeahh thats a given, and for someone who's not looking to drop $70 in parts... the B2 mod is solid...

I dont really think the bl gearbox upgrade will cost $70 since you can get the whole gearbox for $30 or less. Shouldnt be but another $10-15 in parts and wont have to do any rigging to make it work.

dms88, i am selling my Sprint ESC and motor combo on ebay. Brand new. user name is paulsabo99. 5 hours left.
Also, got to take my new EXT2 out for first run at lunch. 3900kv on 2S. WOW... Thing flies. Love it. Super happy we now have metal diffs... Truck handles like a dream too. The wide stance and low clearance. My 4x4 pede doesnt handle well onroad.

Glad you're liking your Brushless Evader, Breakstuff! Do yourself a favor tho, and get some TrakPower Gear Grease and coat all your tranny gears (after cleaning them).
The grease DTX puts in there, if they put any in at all, is about useless. TracPower will protect your gears better than anything Ihave tried.

Yeah. I always rebuild my diffs with better grease. I use some at the shop on our our trucks i like. Its an associated grease. But hasnt failed me yet. Even have put it in a E-revo brushless, and holds up well. I will check that stuff out though. Thanks

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Well guys, it's been two weeks and a couple really good race days, where the car really gets pounded, and no problems with the new metal diff or the old top gear & idler! I dunno what JRockZ did to "melt" his idler, but EGBasher & I really suspect that whoever makes these gears for DTX has lousy QC and cannot consistently alloy the metals properly, and we occasionally get crappy gears that strip. As I have stated before, when we started out with the STOCK car, i.e. Photon Speed2 brushed motor, we went thru quite a few top gears. But eventually, even tho we'd upgraded to brushless, no more stripped top gears! NEVER have we stripped an idler. The only thing we had trouble with after that was the plastic diff gear.
I think the frustration we've had with this platform is getting ALL the tranny parts that are GOOD metal, all at the same time! I really feel like my car is as bullet-proof as it's going to get now, and providing the spyder gears in the new metal diff are of good quality, I shouldn't have any more problems.
We also found out, and proved to ourselves, that having a stiff chassis, like the graphite one I still have, is NOT a good thing to have on a bumpy course. I really liked the way my wife's Evader runs better than mine! The difference? She has a plastic chassis. Indeed, RC Car Action magazine just published an article on chassis tuning, and said that exact thing. A stiff chassis is good on a smoooth track and is more sensitive to setup changes than a plastic one, which is more "forgiving". When the rains finally get here, I think I'll be rebuilding my car with a plastic chassis.

Yes i figured that howevere i also figured posting them in the classified may not find the folks that AREinterested in the Evader,, I wont do it again!!
Thinking of just pulling the sleebay ad and keeping them, i guess it depends if i can come up with a few bucks to go back to brushless on the RTR one or not.
Sorry guys.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
most of the people here are aware of the issues the chassis has, so we dont want um!
if i thought i could get any money for it, i'd post mine on craigslist. if your lhs does consignment, you might want to consider that.

Hey guys,
Iopened my tranny this weekend, since it was raining (YAY!), to inspect the gears. No wear, no damage. Idid a little cleaning, added a little more TrakPower grease, and closed it up. The piano-wire CV pins and drive pins are holding up just fine. I LLLLLIKEIT!!!

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
I have had a few R/C cars all of the Duratrax variety. Maximum ST, Original Evader and most recently the new Evader Brushless. I have to say this is the first brushless R/C that i have owned or seen in person, and man this thing is fast.
I ordered the car online and when i recieved the car took it out the box, charged a LIPO battery and clocked it at 43.5mph. Pretty fast right out of the box if you ask me.
I did a little reading and didn't see any other reports on the Evader Brushless on here. I was wondering if anyone else has one as well, and the top speed you reached?

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
all it is is the ext2 with a new diff, slipper and electronics. you may find that after 20 packs, the idler gear has worn out. other than that, the only other point of complaint is the spring pins. swap them with solid wire of some sort and you're good to go.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Had forgotten that hobbico owned AE. I thought that slipper looked pretty AEish. I figured they had patents on stuff like that. Duratrax probably came to the party late with that crappy slipper that they used to use.
But if Hobbico owns AE and DTX then they can use whatever they want out of the AEinventory.
As far as tranny gears,the AE plastic seems to thrive in a brushless envt,at least for what they put in the RC01's (3300kv motors)
Shoot maybe they'll build Evaders that can use some of the cool aftermarket stuff that they sell for RC10's

Now about those new Top Gears: Guess what? The New one won’t fit in the Old case! The new top gear is 3-4mm wider than the original. Oddly still, the new and old tranny cases have the same part number! So what the hey, DTX? EGbasher is emailing DTX about this, we’ll see if he gets an intelligent response……

Hey guys,
Iopened my tranny this weekend, since it was raining (YAY!), to inspect the gears. No wear, no damage. Idid a little cleaning, added a little more TrakPower grease, and closed it up. The piano-wire CV pins and drive pins are holding up just fine. I LLLLLIKEIT!!!

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Yeah, I don't understand DTX's reluctance to be more helpful to its customers. EGbasher sent them an email asking three questions. They answered the first one only. C'mon DTX, if you want to build a following, you should be more friendly and helpful to your customers! They ought to employ me as a customer service director.......I could use the money, and they could use the help. Maybe I'll write their CEO.
Just in case y'all didn't see this, I posted a question about waterproofing my ESC, since EGbasher fried his by accidentally running his car thru a small puddle. I got a reply from a guy who told me about a product called Liquid Tape and a link to a YouTube vid on how to do it. You HAVE to see this! It's dead easy, and cheap insurance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_lQXDzS3pA

Here is what I posted to DuraTrax's Suggestion Box, the only way Icould find to contact them.
**************************************
Dear DuraTrax/Hobbico,
I am 53 yrs old. I have two Evaders. Love them. Learned a lot about the hobby. I've made upgrades to the cars over the last year, converted to LiPo & brushless and I'm having a blast with them. BUT, whenever I've had questions, I get more, useful, information from message boards than I do from YOU guys! I don't know who is answering your emails for you, but they're bloody lazy, and obviously don't really care about your customers. Both my buddy & I have sent questions to you, usually several questions in one email, and the replies we get only answer the first question and ignore the rest. And the Answer is usually not helpful or very informative, much less friendly and concerned. Do you not know about building relationships and making your customers feeling appreciated for buying your products? Does anyone there ever peruse the message boards like at RC Universe? Did you know there is an "Evader Coalition" there where users share info on how to make the car better? And what it's weak points are? You could learn a lot! It seems like maybe you have, since you've come out with the Brushless Evader, and made some changes to the transmission. (Thank You for the all-metal diff!) But do you guys know that you apparently have a Quality Control issue with whoever makes your gears? When my car was stock, I was tearing up Top Gears. Now, even tho I've gone brushless, no Top Gear issues. But we were stripping the plastic diff gear. A metal diff solved that, but based on what I've experienced and read on the boards, I think whoever makes the gears doesn't know how to alloy metal consistently. And speaking of Top Gears, why is the new one 3mm wider than the old one? It doesn't fit in the old case, and the new case has the same part number as the old one! W.T.F? These are the kinds of questions we have, yet, no one there seems interested enough to answer them. That apparent attitude is rather off-putting to the RC community. In this economy, I would think you'd be a little more motivated to cultivate new customers and build relationships with current ones.
***********************************
We'll see what kind, if any, response Iget, and if Ido, I'll post the reply. Screw the "do not post this email" admonision in their emails. Customers have a right to know!

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Good suggestion EXT2.
Perhaps if they would spend a little time focusing on the consumer and QC and less timeup with ways to make a snazzy "D" logo, there would be fewer disappointed people.
They are really dumb if they don't haveanyone looking at this board. There has been more R&D here than theyhave done on the evader.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Agreed, Good email however they will probably only answer the first question again, who ever is answering the emails isnt going to let a boss or manager see what you said lol. Ive moved on, finally got my evader in good working condition and made a good trade for a redcat ( i know i know) caldera 10E brushless
. thinking back to how many time si took apart my trans, rebuilt the shocks replaced the diff and spur gears im kinda glad its gone. I took my Evader for one last spin yesterday at the LHS and was jumping a wooden ramp about 2.5Ft high and getting 5-6ft air of it and i was finally having fun with it again but i couldnt resist trading the old beast with a brushed system in it for a new beast with a brushless system Heheehee. Have fun guys!! Good luck with Dura-muck!!
