Tiat, I think your best bet is to buy a donor parts truck. The whole relentlessly searching the interwebs gets old, but that's what you gotta do with an RC that is beyond old
. Sometimes you might get lucky and find parts up for sale when someone is moving on...parting with their Evader(s).
EXT2Rob, I got up enough courage last year to finally sell my truck. It was time. I had one thing on my mind, and that was getting another 1/8 scale buggy. After making out pretty good with the sale of my RC8.2e, I was on a roll, and POOF...I threw the ST Pro on eBay. My spare ST Pro roller, and boxes of parts is no more*. I vowed to never hoard parts like that again.
*I'm down to a handful of Evader parts, and lovin' it.
