RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
honestly as much as ive put into my truck a 50 dollar gear is nothing, i mean i could spend that on an aluminum bulkhead shipped. so why not the only problem i have is the diff so i will make it stronger. if i snapped axle carriers all the time i would upgrade them as well. and going to a 4600 is completely pointless. my truck is so light i dont need that kind of torque. i have more than enough already.

the 6660 will burn up under 3s its more speed but will overheat and over rev. 5700 is max for 3s. if i had a 4s lipo id run a 4600lol then id really have torque and speed, but pointless for a truck as light as the evader.

I still think a Nitro evader gear box could be fitted so I can use the Nitro 2.50:1 aluminum gear set.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
yea i agree. he said he never sold even one. but how many people really need an aluminum diff? i dont know really of anyone blowing out a b2 diff except me. but i cant help it i can run a b2 for 1/2 a pack on my 3s no problem but then all the sudden it just goes to crap. and if i loosen the slipper any more than i have it set i just squeel the slipper when i nail it.
i like liftng the front off the ground and tring to ride out wheelies. that stuff is fun. thats what we always wanted our rc's to do when we were younger and now it just on a higher level and if u wanna play big u have to open up ur wallet. but thats why its a hobby to keep u occupied ad excited. so if u really like it u want to make ur project the best u can with what u have. all i wish to do is better my truck were i see a flaw. i mean yes i could have sold off my truck and bought something that will handle the power like the rustler but ive put so much time and effort in my evader i cant just trow it away and start over. but hopefully the alum diff is all ill need and i wont snap any more drivetrain parts. then the evader will be complete in my mind and then the fun hop ups can begin like the alum exterior stuff but as of now i really like the graphite.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
u have a good word of advice there but it wasnt the problem it was just brut torque it happened when i was still moving backwards a tiny bit before i goosed the throttle so when the mesh had a chance to backlash it pulled a tooth or 2 off the diff. all i know is im gonna need some really good grease running an all metal transmission im gonna have to find what is best. so it lasts the long haul

i think everything was fine just too much power and since the slipper self tightened what broke was the first part to give which was the diff. ill have the rebuild kit tomorrow and hopefully all goes well till i get the aluminum diff.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
So I was wondering why no one makes a roll cage for the Evader, so I am making one myself. I am about 3/4 finished the tubing and I haven't done any finish work yet, so it looks messy, but I will sand the joints and paint it soon. I am using 4mm copper tubing and soldering together, but this is only a test to see if I like the look of it. If I do, then I will make a stronger one out of 1/8th inch stainless rod.
What do you think of the design so far?

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
pretty nice, tho i must say my stock body can take a beating, tho with the right body a roll cage would look sweet or just on its own, or like zip tie bits of lexan on idk, but i may try that if it can just be soldered together...

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.
so im finding i need a much larger bumper after breaking 2 front shock towers in just the last week. any one one found a good wide bumper to use that holds up pretty well. btw the truck handles great with the 5000 3s lipo and is very drivable. only problem is i get to comfortable with the power and end up getting cocky and puusing it further and further till im calling the hobby store for parts. but i think i have the evader nearly perfected and any other upgrades besides the metal diff will be to make the exterior more durable such as aluminum parts but no hurry for those as money is still a lil tight to go just that far at the moment. as of now if i dont hit anything or go flipping i should be ok as the drivetrain is performing beuitifully with the b2. just had to get the slipper nuts secure so they dont self tighten again. as for a roll cage i dnt hink it is worth the added weight for the durability as aluminum shock towers would serve just as well when the body is on at far less of a drag.
