oh wow you just stepped on my toes. OK first off the evader is a beginners truck not meant to be anything special like bashing or racing. there were 2 types of evaders back in the day i bought mine, you had the regular and the pro version, i have the pro and u can ask the guys here, but my evader was a tough truck and it was fast as hell and for a truck it handles nice, actually preferred the handling over over my Losi mf2 which is a champion racing truck. but it retired in Florida i keep it there now cuz there a few nice beaches i go to for bashing. I don't know about today's evaders but the Evader pro was made for a limited time and everyone who had one loved them, i still do mine.

The duratraxx evader ? I had one of those , they are one of the worst quality rc cars you can buy. Do they still offer there 1 or 2 year stress tech warranty bc everything breaks.

I'm not looking to forum fight you buddy or step on your toes , I don't care what anyone says , special , limited edition whatever they want to call it , duratraxx is crap in the rc world . I have had many cars including duratraxx , I tried to get 3 friends into the hobby with duratraxx , two cars came broken in the mail and one broke on it's first run. They were all evaders. I made them return them and they got Traxxas and slowly got into the hobby without breaking parts. There is a reason why they are the cheapest cars you can buy. Stuff like that just ruins this hobby ...this is my opinion so please take no offense to this.

RE: nyc racers thread
my freinds evader came in today. condition seemed perfect and parts quality doesnt look cheap...i helped him tune his shocks and he took it for two runs today...crashed into metal gates and mail boxes a few times right on the a-arms and bulk head...nothing broke...barely scratched...the only downside we found was the philiips srew set..i hate phillips lol...we will change him out to hex screws soon! =] It was fun and it handles GREAT. Made me realize just how much harder a 2wd buggy is to control. hes running stock gearing and stock electronics with a 7-cell 3000mah onyx battery which honestly performs pretty damn good! He in love with this thing xD hes just looking to get a new bumper to feel safer since he is fresh in the hobby. he wants to go brushless sometime in the future when he feels he has learned his car enough and how to control it...i think im going to reccomend him the DE10 from duratrax...4 pole 3800kv motor with an esc made from castle...CANNOT go wrong with that in my book....all for 129.99 =]. We will see.

RE: nyc racers thread
I'd suggest he'd go with a castle sct system over a duratraxx , not only is it cheaper , it's better. Hopefully your friends evader has metal gears in the tranny or brushless will not be good for it. Glad your friend is having good luck with his car....

RE: nyc racers thread
yeah we are going to look into all the needed upgrades if any are to be needed. I would tell him to go with the sidewinder but he likes to offroad alot so he wants to run low kv and castles lowest is 4600.....ever since i went low KV gearing options became heaven and so has temperatures ...I havent heard anything bad from the de10 motor...its 4 pole and a nice kv. the esc is from castle itself so theres no way its going to just suck. only the motor is duratrax and if it really is crap and fails then he can replace it with a tacon or hobbywing motor for 25-30 dollars. Something tells me the DE10 will be more the sufficient enough for him. Hes just looking to have fun and drive =]. THE sidewinder is only a hundred dollars tho and the esc is obviously good so i think ill tell him about it seeing as with my earlier logic...if wrost comes to wrost and he doesnt like the KV of the motor, then tacon or hobbywing it is =]...thanks for bringing up the castle...totally over looked it x]....but a 3800kv 4 pole sure sounds tempting to me

RE: nyc racers thread
Your friend is in luck , castle has a few motors with a kv below 4600 which anything below that should be perfect for him. I am unsure of the evaders tranny though , is it steal gears bc if not he may need to upgrade that also , I don't think the evader will handle the power of brushless without some steal tranny gears.

RE: nyc racers thread
thanks for the advice. Ill deff look into that. I knoww alot of people run the evader ext2 brushless on 3s lipo...so i know its doable..i just need to find out if they are upgraded or not. I know with the older evaders people would upgrade it to a b3/t3 tranny for brushless...but this one is new so i have to see if either that tranny still fits or if there is other mods needed instead. However for him going crazy fast isnt an issue..he wants brushless for the fact that its cheaper to maintain and lasts lots longer, more efficient and runs cooler generally...He wants something in the stock speed area so about 3000-3800-ish kv. Ill keep you posted =]

RE: nyc racers thread
yeah the associated stealth trannies are so effeient you dont need metal gears I just hope the ext is similar enought that the onversion works cause you vader has a mamba max system in it and i believe you were running 7 cell and you run lip too...deff wrks a charm! but none the less on youtube i see everyone beasting out their EXT2's so im sure its doable =].
I cant wait for my Gens Ace lipo to come in! The charger can charge lipo and life packs so illill probably get a life pack down the road too for the experience and viarety of voltage

RE: nyc racers thread
LiPo package was delayed do to a "train derailment" ...i dont honestly believe that but its delayed =/...So anyways i wanted to buy new tires for the loose dirt i race on, i wanted to go to NYC Hobbies but when i called it said the number was not in service...i got skepticle that they may have closed so i called bruckner hobbies and a store clerk answered the phone and confirmed they had 2.2 inch buggy tires so i headed over to the bronx which was a mission but it was well worth it and honestly not THAT bad. The store wasnt a long walk ana it was a nice hobbyshop =] they carried alot of parts and brushless/lipo. I got myself the tires i wanted which were JConcepts goosebumps and a 15t pinion gear. cant wait to try out the new tires! may need to fix my chassis tuning for the new grip
