I have had my evader since christmas, and have around a gallon through it.

Here's a list of things i've upgraded or added:

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHBZ9&P=7]Rechargeable Reciever Pack[/link], as soon as the original batteries died. No buying stupid alkalines for me.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVZ07&P=ML]HP Glow ignitor[/link] works much better than the original, i like how it fastens on better than the twist on, and it looks kinda stylish too.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDWF8&P=ML]S3305 Steering servo[/link] adds a lot of grunt to the steering. Metal geared for durability in crashes. There may be a better servo out there for this (lots of people like the hitek 625 and 645's) but the futaba is a direct drop in. Hiteks take a little modification.

Transmitter rechargeable batteries. I got duracell 2300 NiMH, but NiCads would probably work well. I've yet to drain more than a quarter of the capacity of these guys before recharging.

Charging 8 tx cells evenly was a problem for me so i got [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCLD5&P=ML]Duratrax Digital peak charger[/link], it charges up to 8 cells. (after i got the right connector, i just plug it right into my transmitter) I charge both my tx and rx batteries with this. If i decide to get an electric car (already in the works) this will do nicely to charge the main power packs too. The price on this is right too.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUM92&P=ML]Multi-use tires[/link]. The lhs guy recommended these as good on/off road tires, and i now agree. I didn't want to wreck the nice stock tires that came with the evader, so i put these guys on for general purpose bashing, and i'll save the stockers for serious competition (with friends, or in a race if i decide to do that). I put these tires on duratrax wheels, which have cracked and i'm not really happy with, so i may go with rpm wheels next time.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLY17&P=7]Exhaust diverter[/link] to keep your body and wheels clean. This isn't the exact one i have, but it shows what it is.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFWF3&P=7]Aluminum diff gear[/link] i just put it in, so i can't comment on it too much. Aluminum idler gear is on it's way too.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCTW1&P=7]RPM front bumper[/link] isn't a direct fit, but isn't too hard to make work. Better protection for the front suspension.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXESA8&P=ML]Aluminum brake nut[/link]. I've heard the stock plastic is weak, and the aluminum is cheap, so i replaced it.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEMG5&P=ML]Temp gun[/link] came in handy while tuning the engine. I've since misplaced it, and have switched to a different fuel, so i'm playing it by ear until i find my temp gun.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD574&P=ML]Deluxe Car wrench[/link] mostly i use on the glow plugs, but it's nice on them, good firm grip, and has a springy thing inside to hang onto the plug

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSM58&P=ML]Pit stand[/link] is very handy while working on the car. Packs up pretty small too.

I've also ballooned my shocks to keep out dirt, and balloon my servos and receiver to keep out water (from the snow). I had servos go glitchy because they got wet.

Failsafe is still on my list.

That's all i can remember for now.
