Default Hacker for DuraTrax Evader BX?

Hello,

I am getting my first real R/C car; a DuraTrax Evader BX. I am trying to switch all of my electric airplanes to Hacker brushless motors.

Which of the Hacker C40 motors would be a good match for the Evader BX? I am going to be running 6-cell 3300 NiMH packs. I am also the only electric buggy at the track, so I would like to be able to run with the nitro buggies.

Thanks for letting a newbie ask stupid questions!

Our club is just for fun! I am not wanting to compete, just to show the nitro guys (both air and car) that eletric can perform as well as glow!

Good luck running a Hacker brushless or any brushless in your Evader BX. I had an Evader ST and I striped the idler gear with a stock motor. The idler gear is weak. It can strip easily.

Solution:

That guy made a metal idler gear and a mod b3 diff gear. It’s very tough. It’s well worth its price. I got it for my evader. I'm was running the Novak SS Brushless and I was doing wheelies like nothing. No tranny problems at all. I would recommend it to anyone with an Evader.

Thanks for the tip, the gears look like a much upgrade for the Evader.

What pinion are you using on the Novak?
