Default brushless evader tips?

ive stayed away from the evaders for the most part.
I had a evader DT that snapped the chassis right by the trans when I put a BL system on it.
and another evader I had issues with the servo, and the servo mount setup is terrible.


BUT, I found a RTR brushless evader (stock brushless, waterproof system) for $90 on ebay. Well, couldn't pass that up!

I do like the metal dogbones (curse you, traxxas slider shafts) and it should be plenty fast.

but what are the best upgrades for the evader? Not the "looks good" upgrades but the ones that will add durability?

Is there a way to brace up the part of the chassis that mounts to the trans case?

It is a bit dirty, and the ad says the trans makes a noise, but there are spare trans parts as well as other spare parts. The BL system alone is worth $40-$50 so I figure I couldn't go wrong.
