RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
It all depends on how you want your truck to handle. I dont know if your asking a question on what holes are stock or just telling us to see what we think. Thats what i have my shocks set to. I use aftermarket losi springs and 35 wt shock oil. But as it gets colder i might change the shock oil back to 20wt. (stock)

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
i was just telling how i was unable to set one side, the screw kept stripin the hole on the arm. so i set it to the middle both side, if i leave the front on the outer and the back in the midde is that good for bashing. all i do is do some speed runs then i go on some dirt/grass. i stil have not takin it out on a open grass lot etc

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
lol. I'd set it just as it is. That's a good setup.

Hey everybody! turned over $900 on my Evader ST!!![X(] I guess money goes fast for me...like my evader!!!!:D

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Ok my esc is fine! Old motor was too much for it. Ran a 1800mah pack out full throttle on blacktop and esc was cool to the touch :) Anyone have good setup for grass/lawn driving/dog chasing? I looks like it already has larger tires/wheels. Should the shocks have oil in them? If so is motor oil ok?
|
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
yes and $)%& no, you need to use actual shock oil. some engine oils may work, but it's better to just pay the <$5 for actual shock oil. 35wt should work fine. for the record, proline mashers will make it all but impervious to any grass. those suckers are 5 inches in diameter and weigh about a half pound each, so you'll definately want to gear down if you ever get a set.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Yes, the shocks are supposed to have oil in them. I would recommend either 30W-35W for lawn and grass. I don't think you should use motor oil. Heres what you probably want. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...X3310&P=ML I'd say either order this or go to your local hobby shop and ask for it. I'm 99% sure they'll have it in stock.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Looking for decent tires that won't wear too fast and will grip good on dirt and pavement. Any ideas?
|
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
dirthawgs and mashers work well and last a while. both offer enough traction to wheelie on gravel.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Well, I'm not running 3S anymore. I couldn't afford it in the parts I kept having to buy.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif So today I went to the lhs and told bob (the owner/operator) that I couldn't handle the power and he agreed that he too didn't like 3S. So he took it back and gave me $20 less than what I paid for it because it was used. So then I used the refund and a little extra money and got a venom 2S 5000mah 40C. I just finished running it, and man, that thing is amazingly strong, fast and controllable. The 3S was probably a little faster, but you can't tell because by the time you got up to speed on the 3S, your way past out-of-control!http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif I like the 40C way better than 35C. It's alot stronger. I plan on getting the dirt hawgs, trenchers (will need differerent rims, but I can work with that), mashers, or the original Evader ext2 wheels. What does everyone think I should get? I run about 50% pavement and 50% dirt.

Bob at cobblestone?
|
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
yeah. That's right. Cobblestone Hobbies next to Sam's Club. I'm in there every Friday.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
I go there alot. They dont sell evader anymore right? I cant seem to find any of the brushless evader parts there either. I know i can order them but id like to see the parts in stock. I havent been there in about 2 weeks tho. Do you know if they have a e-flight zero 300 or any parts in stock. I have one and i cant seem to get alot of parts for it. Again i really dont want to order any.
|
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
I know what you mean. Ordering duratrax parts is like ordering from the other side of the world. Infact, I ordered a top shaft for evader ST in May, it hasn't shown up yet. There are a few Evader Brushless parts due to me. When I ordered some parts when I was upgrading my diff to metal, he order like a whole stock of em. I don't look to much at the heli stuff, only when my mcx2 breaks. Ya, I saw the Evader yesterday. They sell the EXT2, but I've never seen an Evader Brushless in there. Bob is a nice guy, but if your not paying attention, he might sell you something you don't need or is over priced. I've had that a few times, but I know deep down he's just trying to be helpful and at the same time make a living.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.

Wouldn't you like to go brushless?</p> |

It a good thing my dad bought it because he says its the only truck hes never had a problem with. |
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
Yeah, it sounds like those stampedes, summits and T-Maxxs are a pretty good thing. Though I'm not a fan of Traxxas, I still say their pretty decent trucks.

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
nah i dont wana go brushless
|
RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.
ok then, the duratrax intellispeed 12T esc looks good, but I don't agree with the Titan 12T 550. From personal experience with losi motors when I was still running brushed, I <u>really</u> recommend this. http://www.losipartshouse.com/servle...0-Motor/Detail This is a great motor. It lasted me 3 seasons. If you don't trust the first site I linked, you can get it here from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Losi-New-SCT...item5d3523170e

Hey, gotta question. All my NiMh batteries are crap. They have been run for years and won't even hold a charge, let alone take one. I now have 2S lipo. How should I dispose of the NiMh batteries? Should I discharge them in salt water, and then throw them away, or discharge them with my charger, or what?
