Im thinking about that, i have a bike ramp and i could probably get garden hose and double it up into barriers. I think its better this way because it is easier to change up the track between designs and i could make my track bigger because it wont look bad.

Alright so just for laughs I took an XL (36x74mm) motor out of one of my other trucks and stuck it on the evader. And I doubt this will stay in this truck but ya never know....

I will say this that motor made my raze st jump straight up in the air on takeoff, and it was fast for about a min thill it cooked lol

so Iwould put my money on thrashed and trashed drive terrain on an Evader would be fun though

Does anyone know where i could get a peak charger for cheap. I want it to be able to charge at 4 amps which is the highest my battery is supposed to go. I currently have a 4 amp timer but i hate having to turn the thing every 15 minutes and i still dont get my battery to fully charge. My battery is a 7 cell 3000mah onyx with deans connectors.
Under $30 is my budget.
wouldnt be bad if it could do lipos.

Dark asylumn

here ya go I have this one very nice for the price up to 5 amps and lipo compatible

i found an Onyx 200 for 35 shipped. probably gonna get it and its $10 cheaper than on tower and only slightly used.

cumquat

if you can go to around $45 shipped you could get an onyx 220 from tower's scratch and dent http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTS1000p?&C=P . thats how i got mine

Dark asylumn

or for 44 shipped you could get one like I mentioned above but ac powered also

Is your slipper adjusted properly ?

if your riding wheelies and such it is going to be harder on the diff gear.

Should be able to handle 2s no problem.

coolguy1975

even when i run the slipper on the looser side..it still eventually shredds the gear case.....just takes longer when i run the slipper on the loser side...im for sure not running it tight enough to where im doing wheelies or nothing like that...dones u get less punch and power for the most part when u use nm batteries versus lipo's?..thats why im thinking maybe if i use them itll help some...

mc4798

My Feedback: (8)

def less punch with nimh compared to lipos.

You tried replacing the metal idler with the plastic one ? May be something wrong with the idler gear itself.

The castle 3800 motor is a 4 pole motor that will have more torque that what your using now so that is proably not the answer.

coolguy1975

ok thought so..so u think trying nm batteries with the 4600 will work?...wasnt talking about the castle 3800...sorry if i said wrong...meant the traxxas brushless system...the one that comes in the rustler vxl....would that maybe work better and be easier on it?..say using that system and nm batteries?....as far as the idler gear..no i havnt tried using the plastic one...i would think the plastic would shredd in a heartbeat...which is why they changed it from plastic to metal going from the ext to the ext2...

Rclugnut10 uses the same combo in his evader with the ball diff tranny which is known to have issues. So you should be able to run that combo without issue.

I have run evader ext/exb without issue using several diffrent brushless motors from 3300kv to 6000kv on 2susing the plastic idler, matter of fact killeddtx spur gears left and right butnot idlers or diffs

If I was you here is what I would do.

Inspect the metal idler for foriegn material. make sure all edges are smooth. Ifit has issues get a replacement or get the plastic idler.
Get a replacement diff
Do the b4 slipper mod. Sounds crazy I know but it performs so much better than stock.

The sidewinder will work with nimh batteries but your speed,runtime and satisfaction are all going to suffer.

coolguy1975

the metal idler as far as i can tell is fine...so u would suggest changing over to the plastic idler and seeing if that works better?....also how do i do the b4 tranny mod?...have no idea where to even begin as far as putting a b4 tranny in the ext2...

mc4798

My Feedback: (8)

Not the tranny swap but just the slipper pads and spur gear.

http://sites.google.com/site/evaderi...b4-slipper-mod should be here

Well lets just say I only had one idler gear strip and that was user error. If i was having issues with the diff gear I would change that idler to plastic.

is a 5 amp 12v ac adapter good enough for this if im charging a 7 cell nimh at 4 amps with
http://www.hobbypartz.com/60p-dyc-1004.html

And is it a peak charger or does it use the set mah as an overcharge protection in case it does not peak.

Dark asylumn

it is a peak charger and it also has capacity limit both adjustable
as far as the 5 amp supply I have no Idea, but in theory if you are drawing less than 5 amps it should be good to go

do you have a power supply out of an old computer anywhere

Link119

My Feedback: (1)

Im using that pc but i guess the other electronics (screen and things like that)cant be drawing more than an amp, so if i cant get the onyx 200 (because i already bid 20 so it would be 25 shipped) i would get your charger.

What is your power supply amp and how many amps are you charging it at?

Dark asylumn

no the ps has to be taken out of a computer and modified real simple but will never function as a computer ps again. so just remember if you all ever get a new computer dont throw out the ps modify it.
