that is really wierd! i've only had two problems, once when the pin came out and once when i bent an outdrive.

i am having trouble with getting the pin out on the transmission, how exactly do you get the pins out?

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

yeah, i'm pretty sure the pins are the same 2X10mm spring pins, i say that cuz i think thats the only other place to use spring pins and i know the sizes of the other locations, but i've toasted the 1.6mm's that are on the axels pretty easy within a few MO of owning mine so i dunno how they'll hold up BL, ahh well, i hope so they held up yesterday with those paddle tires and cuz it was glitching so much probaly due to my CRAPPY soldering job, (its really hard to do with no flux) so yeah it went form nothing to WOT rather amusing tho that 19t has some pretty nice power i may have to get another at some point
right i'm looking that up now, not adding the taktic 2.4 ghtz radio to my wishlist tooo late
hey they don't have it, its annoying but its the orion method 19X2 sweeetttt motor

hmm i'd try tapping it out with a small nail.... or screw it out with like a drill

evader8

yeah i think that would work. why do they make those things so dam hard to take out anyway? they should make them screw in

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

yeah i know MPI makes them hey i wonder if B/T4 CVD's will fit or losi, so we can use MIP's

evader8

that would be nice

evader8

right now i am looking at this setup, castle creations sidwinder 5400kv, Futaba BLS451 Brushless servo. but what good transmitter would work with this, unless u guys have a better idea.

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

the servo's is a little overkill IMO if you're gunna only get the sidewinder system, me personally would go the mamba system and a lowerend servo like this the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNRP9&P=ML]ts 140[/link] it'll be plenty powerful for the evader IMO

evader8

idk i am kinda lost when it comes to servo's. would that servo and mamba max sidewinder work with the stock reciever?

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

yeah, ohh right radio advice uhhh, futaba magunum 2pl is good, umm i'd get a good FM system or 2.4 ghz is good, i'm pretty sure this is a rebaged MX3 FHSS http://axonracing.com/catalog/produc...products_id=33 and i probally should've gotten this over my MX3, ahhh well or the MX3 is good, Hitech makes good stuff too but i'd set up outta the Am releam and upgrade to fm

so i got the cvd's for the rear to replace the stock axle assembly. dropped right in with no problems. held up nice. thanks for the tip rclugnut10. then my dad slammed into the back of my pede at like 40 mph with the evader and broke the front right steering block.. lol. was funny cause i was only goin like 10mph. pede barley budged but the evader lierally went flipping over the pede and rolled across the ground. lol. then he says " hey.. it wont turn right".

ScottStaypuff

For cvd's wait until you break then go to the nitro versions. I broke my stockers then went nitro. They held up ok until I hit a telephone pole at speed with the 5700kv. Oops.

Lug, you have the phone number for HG? I couldn't find one.

My Feedback: (1)

huh i coulda sworn they had one on the site, either way they're revamping it i'll give um a few weeks see if they get it back up for spring and such

scottstaypuff they r the ones from the nitro. the electrics arnt called cvd's

SacramentoJoe

I have one dogbone that likes to push a pin out. I try to get the ends to spread out a bit with a nail after I get them in. My son's BX doesn't have that problem but he has almost worn the pins through the tabs. Wish I new about the CVs before I bought some spares.

ScottStaypuff

Sometimes the CVDs are $13.99 on Tower's site compared to the universals @ $16.99. Don't ask me why!

Hey all,

This is my first time posting on here. I bought an Evader couple years ago and ran it a few times, but it got put on the back burner because of going to school and just lack of time and money. I recently pulled it back out and have been bashing around with it and took it to the local track to see how it was. I need some suggestions, I finally wore the rear tires bald and need some new ones badly. Are there any tires any of you would suggest for mainly bashing and maybe goin to the track and bashing around. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

evader8

with me also being a sortof novice, it is determined on what the track is like. if it is wet or dry. I think with a dry track u could run bowtie tires, idk. go to proline.com and check out their tires, they will have descriptions on what they are best on.

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

for bashing proline badlands i wish i had gotten them low profile 30 series just use the rims for the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSFU5&P=7]XXX-T[/link] and the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTYN9&P=7]badlands[/link] those are SICK bashing tires, i love mine, for racing/bashing i'd look at these proline [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDX67&P=ML]gladiators[/link] for rims i recomnd T4, proline or Losi rims all will work fine
bowties are also good
general rule of thumb the softer stuff you're driving on or the rougher the terrain, the larger and more spaced out lugs you go for for drier tracks smaller tighter lugs

any one know if the evader ext body fits on the old evader st, i really like that body.

rclugnut10

My Feedback: (1)

it should i don't see why not they didn't change the tower geometry or mounting system, yeah i was thinking about getting that too a while back... tho no reason my stock is practically new if you ignore the dirt and scraches....

do u think i would need a wheelie bar with the sidewinder 5400 and the dtx 4600 7-cell? because i found these great wheelie bars on ebay!!!!!
