actually there is someone, read up in the TEC you will see who it is.
edit: ok you know who it is,lol but its not random thing he is doing.

Nobody is putting the ST tranny in the EXT. Thats just some random thing Frozen is doing. There is no point to it seeing as the EXT tranny can handle power better.
Quit the caps[:'(]

IF YOU DO SOME READING THEY ARE PUTTING THE ST TRANNY IN THE EXT AND SWTCHING OUT THE EXT AXLES ALSO

I've never raced, nor have I owned another other car besides the Evader EXT. So I don't know the difference, haha.

This is my evader bx. I changed the front knuckles with the st. It also has the co27. For now I am still running towers batteries but bigger Mah batteries are on the list next to get.

Hardin Valley---That thing is hot! Nice looking ride.
What makes the tranny in the ST worse and the EXT better? I might buy a used evader and don't intend on going brushless, so is it that big a deal? I just want a good basher. Are they about as durable as the Rustler?

RE: DuraTrax Evader EXT EP ST any good?
Im afraid to say my experience with the EXT has not been great so far every run ends with a breakage of some sort and im not hammering it either, to be honest i expected better it only has to see another car and it falls apart! Dont get me wrong its quite an able car with a good transmission its just not very durable my sportweks raven was miles better! Harsh as it may sound i just cant reccomend one pay a little bit more and get somthing else, hope this helps.

RE: DuraTrax Evader EXT EP ST any good?
I have the EXT and I have not broken anything yet. It is a great truck for the money, so no worries there. As far as the gearing with the co27, I have tested 18-20T pinions and all have worked great. At this time, I am using the stock pinion (20 tooth) and the performance is awesome. Both the motor and ESC are warm to the touch after running a fully charged pack. You will be very pleased as you experiment with the gearing .
