any help please?

ok check your pinion and spur gear 1st. make sure the pinion is on the motor shaft good and tight there is a set screw on it that you tighten and then make sure it is makin contact wit spur gear

nitrozach54

they both spin, spur an pinion, ive toyed around with the slipper clutch, not sure if im doing it right, but sometimes it catches, but going uphill or on grass it loses its grip

finally broke something today...[X(]...[sm=lol.gif]...the antenna tube-lol




question,in this pic you can see how high the front a-arms sit.it has kind of a "nose high" stance,which i think contributes to it's "fish-tail happy" handling characteristics.is this the normal stance,and if not,how do i lower the front a little (adding pre-load clips to the shocks obviously raises it)?
thanx!

bummer[]

do they spin together when the motor is running? Does your tranny make any wierd noise like one of the gears is stripped?

offroadjunkie

heeheehahaha...as hard as my kids and i run it into stuff/jump it,that's certainly not that bad a break tho

too bad i'll end up making a 50+ mile drive to the lhs next week for a 25 cent part tho-lol

truthfully i hate when antenna tubes break, it exposes the wire for damage. and if damage accurs then the radio will go out of wack causing the truck to go nuts and crash. ( assuming you dont have a safety switch that is ) lol

Would the ext be a good canditate to be turned into a dragster?

offroadjunkie

yup,me too =P.looks like some MSHA electrical tape to the temporary rescue-lol

evaderkid,i'm not sure,but seems like the ext would be a better candidate than the standard evader because of the gear diff.

yepp, lol

I usually adjust this by using the pre-load on the shocks. I have the metal shocks, and not the ones you have. Shock oil and spring stuiffness can affect this as well.

nitrozach54

double post, sorry[:'(]

nitrozach54

is someone gunna help me?
i dont know what to do, on the stand the wheels spin, but on the ground spur and pinion spin, but the wheels dont!
what do i need to do to fix it? do i need to replace parts?

cheech4

you have to check y0our axles for damage, the long rod that spins the wheels, see if there damaged that might couse your problem. if not then it may either be your slipper is way loose and its not grabbing the pad to spin the gears in the tranny or one of the gears in the tranny is stripped... you need to do some checking first, we cannot see your problem only can tell what it may be.

nitrozach54

axels look fine, i think the slipper is ok, i screwed it in all the way, then brought it out two turns, like the video said to

cheech4

it be also your motor is so toasted that it cant handle any load... or you are using dead batteries and they cant handle the load. worst case scenario open up the tranny case and check for stripped gears.

nitrozach54

its brand new, noticed it on the 4th running

nitrozach54

I looked and my idle gear is stripped.
I read somewhere that motors dont last long, what should i got for a good brushed motor?

cheech4

you have the stock ESC on the evader ST... then get either the Trinity CO27 pro motor, or the Team Orion Core motor... there both 27t motor but you will see a nice speed difference compared to stock.... ALSO i have heard it is the regular ST Stock ESC that people were able to run a 19T motor, in that case i would recommend the 2007 Team Orion ELEMENT motor, the 2007 Peak DYNASTY motor ( same motor really ). Those are my first picks, then also the Team Checkpoint MONEY motor and the Trinity komodo dragon motor.

I run the Trinity C027 pro, in my Evader BX, it way faster than the stock motor that came with the buggy. I think it's a good choice for a upgrade.

i noticed lots of people complaining of antenna tube breakage, get the dtx assortment, i got cuz you get 10 tubest thinkin that they'ld last me a while, well as things turned out, i can matach my plastics coloring theme (black with yellow cups and tube (stock cups btw)) and i've never had a single problem whit the tube breakage, now when ever i get a new car i test the tube by bending it in a circle if it don't break it's good (yet i broke both the tubes that i did said test on) so i replaced witht the DTX ones no problems yet all in prefect shape,

heres a mod i said i'ld post a week ago but never did...

pic one: the screws that hold the things that hold the rear A arms on well for me said screws come loose alot and i know it must wreck havoc on somthing so i figured how can i get these to stay one

pic 2: easy bolt um on good and add a bit of locktite i will say that the back to bolts did need to be dremeld a bit so the tranny case could fit on

excuse my noobyness
what are T's? what do they mena, is higher t or lower T better?

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

t's are turns or winds on an electric motor, the more t's the slower the motor will go but the more torque it will have the higher # of t's fast more amp draw and less torque, now some motors are better than others so a really good 27t could be better than a 20t,

random fact 27t is considered stock 19t is mod... for racing

nitrozach54

wow thanks
so the stock 20t is petty much the happy medium?
