I wish I did a better job on it, but a little too late. I guess when I express the inner corniness that all of us have, into a video, it's no wonder I got a dislike. But I don't give a crap about my image on YouTube so much, so I have no reason to take it down. In a year I might have 100 dislikes, but maybe somebody will get something out of it...

One more thing. I used 0.055" diameter music wire, but according to Rob, I should have used 0.062" music wire. Mine fit sloppily and I'm starting to think that maybe I should use the 0.062 instead, as the 0.055" ones are loose and may be wearing the hole in which they fit bigger. So definitely take Rob's advice on sizing for that.

I have not used any Gens Ace batteries before, but my next ones will be. I have used a few Venom 5000mah 40C instead. When you get a 2S lipo, be sure to go 40C and not 25C or 30C, as there is not enough punch to the throttle IMO. I put my Evader through a lot, and I pay for it in broken parts, but I'm getting really close to having it tuned out to stay in one piece for my driving style. I'm a pure basher and that's it. I guess when I say things like that, I realize what kind abuse I put my RCs through,...

For you to go brushless, you only need these three things, and two of them are optional. I believe the EXT2 has the metal idler gear, right? (@ Rob)

BL Rear Chassis Plate (Optional)-http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBURE&P=7
Wheelie Bar (Optional)-http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBURM&P=7
Assembled Differential-http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBURC&P=7

So it only costs $30 for you. Was much more for me and the other guys with Evader STs. EXT2 is the best one to get currently IMO.
Thanks for the video! It actually helped clear things up pretty well. It was quite corny though yes. But it was still really informational. I was surprised to see the amount of sparks something that small was making when you were grinding it!

I'll be sure to pick up .062" music wire. As for lipos, I actually have only 1 right now, and its a SPC racing lipo. Heres a link to it:

I'm liking it so far in my SCX10, but that can only tell you so much since the SCX10 goes slow.

Thanks for the list of items! Not expensive at all...thats good to know!
