Engine Purchase Tomorrow - Evader ST
I'm buying the OS .18 CV-R
which of these models will fit my Evader? Do I need the short shaft model? Will I need a new header as well?
O.S. .18 CV-R w/11J Rotary Carb
O.S. .18 CV-RX w/11J Rotary Carb
O.S. .18 CV-RX (S) w/11J Rotary Carb

And does anyone else think the DTX 18 is a paperweight? After about 12 tanks I couldn't even start the stupid thing. What a waste.
The instructions for break-in are far too lean, and people rip their engines up before they're even broken in. You think they would have fixed that by now.

Okay, I'll ask the guys at hobbytown tomorrow when I pick up the engine. Hopefully the price is comparable to Tower prices. I noticed I got ripped off when I bought my RTR for 341.00 =[
Should have done my research.

Man, I ahte this. Around me, the cv-rx I wanted to buy is on back order. The only place that has one is hobbytown but they are selling it for 169.99 and I can buy from another place on back order for 99.99. This sucks.

Yup, I called hobbytown today and they were sold out of cv-rx, but they put one on order for me. The price is $129, should be here thursday.

Well I went ahead and ordered from tower, but it is on back order so I don't know when I'll get it. It was 20 bucks cheaper (even with shipping) than going through my local vendors who all wanted to sell it for at least $129

Aluminum gear and carbide balls. I also used a losi thrust bearing that had larger carbid balls than stock, worked smoother. I don't have a part number atm but i think i posted it in the official nitro evader thread somewhere.

RE: Engine Purchase Tomorrow - Evader ST
Awesome, thanks for the tips. I'll order that tonight.
Anything else you'd suggest for someone with a little cash to toss around on this beast?
For anyone who cares, I got my O.S. .18 CV-RX. You can get some good deals at [link=http://www.acehardwarehobbies.com]Ace Hardware Hobbies[/link]www.acehardwarehobbies.com
My order at tower was backordered and ran me $117 plus shipping so I cancelled it.
This was a much better option. They don't charge flat expensive shipping rates, it was cheaper and no backorder.
Product(s)
1 x O.S. .18 CV-RX w/11J Rotary Carb 0% $99.99
Sub-Total: $99.99
Tax: $0.00
USPS Priority Mail - 1 lbs.: $3.85
Total: $103.84

A receiver [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHBZ9&P=ML]hump pack[/link] and charger if you don't have one.
If you're looking to make your truck tougher, i think [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGDG8&P=7]these steering knuckles[/link] or [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBDK4&P=7]these[/link] will help.
For the rear go with [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBDK4&P=7]these hubs[/link] or [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGDG6&P=7]these ones[/link]. The golden horizons ones look a little lighter.
I found that i busted hubs and steering knuckles when i was abusing my truck. They would be my first aluminum upgrades if any.
