Nah fella dont buy that combo from him.

8t's are very fast, alot more than a noob needs, and need ALOT of maintance. If you do buy it, from 15t pinion, 88t spur.

As for the steering one way on acceleration, that could be a dud servo nto centering, or you diff it so tight not letter the wheels spin at different speeds.

Whats all this talk about having to alter rpm wheels to fit the Vader ? I thought the where direct fit, am I going to have to alter my Talonz to get them to fit?

As always thanks for any help

Wow, I cranked that lug in the diff down pretty good. I'll go give it a little more and see if that will do it.

Just wondering if there is a stronger replacement for the gear cover. The stock version is pretty flimsy and breaks easily. I would love to have an RPM version, but I don't think they make one for the Evader. Any other suggestions?

Tape21

I backed off the diff screw and tried running it back down tight again. It helped with the lose slipper but it still isn't as tight as the other truck. The truck with the lose slipper probably has double the run time as the other one because I was using one for parts for a while.

the only rims that fit the evader made by RPM are are the ones made for losi.. RPM does not make rims for all manufactureres. BUT the ones that fit losi preferably the XXT will fit the evader.

The Team Losi XXX-T runs that I run on my new car fit evader's.

If you put the wheel washer on the inside instead of outside the wheels will not rub the knuckles.

Nice bod, eh?

NewGuy1980

The ones I got are for the Losi... I'm guessing I have to do what Raz said, Thanks again fellas

Now on to a new issue.... I thought I had my slipper adjusted properly but now it makes a kinda click when I accelerate hard or it lands from a jump, also if I turn one of the rear wheels when the truck is off it makes this weird kinda grinding noise [sm=confused.gif] Do I need to readjust my slipper or have I already stripped a gear?

BTW Raz the futaba metal gear works great , it reacts a lot quicker now!!

Thanks for any help guys

rcmaster103

Yes, you have sadly enough stripped a gear.

bIGmiK

Oh the joys of evader Just teasing fellas.

rcmaster.... your evader, it's kinda missing a tranny? Haha, and that ESC looks nothing like a sphere to me... but it's clean nether the less.

Hey newguy.Yeh I just didn't want to leave the nut loose so I turned some new spacers on the lathe last night.The chamfer is not absolutely necessary with the wider spacer.But the wider spacer is ,if you want to tighten the nut all the way like stock wheels and not put the washer on the back.
Everything the guys said will work fine. If this option is not available.

Here is what I have done.

You can see very little chamfer on the wheel. And the 2 bearing spacers to the left of the tire.

The front is the original and the back is the new one.

DO you not remember I fried the Sphere? lol

My thoughts exactly. get the aluminum idler gear and not strip gears anymore.

Will any Team Associated front wheels fit an Evader ST? I bought some rears and they fit fine. I have a set of Proline Blades that I want to put on by Friday, but my closing hobby shop only has Associated wheels left. Or I could buy the one set of losi fronts which is red and drive a clown car.

Check to see if one of the brass bushings has a "lip" worn on it. If so, file it off, or better, replace it. This can cause the freewheeling you are talking about. See my website for a discussion of this.

Nice body!
lol

NewGuy1980

Thanks QuailRC, unfortunately making a spacer isn't an option for me, think I'll use the washer trick. I don't have to chamfer if I do that right? Appriciate the help tho Quail
Hopefully it's the idler that is stripped, I have an aluminum one sitting at home that I haven't instaled yet, I'll open it up when I get home from work this morning and see. The joy of third shift [:'(]

Is this stuff good to lube my tranny with:

Thanks Guys, back to work I go

bIGmiK

Use this in your tranny: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGS07&P=7

Guess who ordered a brushless system today and will have it in 2 days I'm not sure why I still post here...

NewGuy1980

Thanks bIGmilk I'll get a tube of that next time I make an order from tower.

But will this work for now?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDDW2&P=7

bIGmiK

Yeah sure it will... Sex lube would work, might not be the best but it will work

Haha, just make sure you don't use the Tamiya Ceramic grease in your diff, the great actually metls. You need Tamiya diff grease, it can handle higher temps that the ball diff makes it.

bradh

where can i get the gear for the b2 that fits the evader now? and wheres the best place to get a metal idler in australia tower is a rip off on delivery

bIGmiK

Stanbridges has it for $35 brad.
