If im remembering right they will send you a complete new engine, with pull start and glow plug, i would if i were you keep the pull start and glow plug off of the old engine, i believe they will still send you new ones.

So that answers a few of my questions but i want to know what i have to take off the engine before i send it back?

evader512

i just boxed mine up i left evrey thing on accept the stuff that was on the shaft like the flywheel i also left off the air filter. ill be mailing it soon
my friend sent his in the same way and didnt get a bran new motor back just re built i think im not sure

Kings3

how did u get the flywheel off cause my dads having trouble getting it off.

BEARBYSR

The best way I have found is a fly wheel or steering wheel puller(most online auto parts places have them). You just need the small one that will fit the flywheel. The more the motor is used, the tougher they are to get off.

evader512

i used a mini flywheel / pulley/ gear puller

BEARBYSR

That's what I meant Where are ya Doc, I think it was you who set me up with a link for the mini puller. I just can't remember where I ordered it from.

I remember many pages ago seeing someone put an OS .18tz in their evader. Does this line right up with the mounts?

I was hoping to get some new tires for my evader and was wondering if theres tires would fit these rims.

I'm not sure about the bodies, but the rims and tires you have linked will not fit the vader. Those are for MT's, you need 2.2 rims and tires.

Kings3

I found the right tires which are these one but will these rims work with the tires?

Those tires will work with those wheels however im not sure about if those wheels will work with the evader, someone else may know, but i believe they are 10 mm hex wheels.

Kings3

what wheels do you u guys recommend i use if i plan on using the moabs?

thecatofulthar

Personally i just go with the duratrax wheels, there are some i know you can get that look cooler but their much more expensive and not worth the price in my opinion, might want to check with the others.

BEARBYSR

The DTX wheels are a good economy wheel but the do chip out easily(especially with the added stress you will get with the bigger moab tires, trust me, I have the moabs mounted on DTX wheels and they are chipped out really bad right where the tire mounts on). I think the the Losi wheels are better quality but will still chip out over time. I usually go with the DTX wheels because they are cheap enough to just throw away when you tires are worn out and just get new ones to mount the new tires.JMO. I also use the HPI wheels on my green vader and they have worked pretty well.

i just was informed by dtx that my engine is not still under warranty because i ran it to lean so they will not fix it, making me pay 40$ to get it fixed by them and sent back to me

hello, decided to go Evader style, so here what ive done 2 it so far with plans


1)use a 4 cell pack for power
2)keep receiver box on it
3)thinking about a couple L brackets for motor mounts.
4)48p spur fits!

if it works, ill let u know my findings.
anyone else try this idea?

trx1

My Feedback: (2)

well, its done. total cost was $25.00
powered by a 4 cell spec pack, 87/17 gears in 48p. happy with the results so far.
testing to come this weekend.
had to remove the brake system, but the rest was cut,drill, and fit!

evader512

can i ask what are you talking about

My Feedback: (2)

my N to E vader conversion.
had to adjust the diff, wayyyy loose, but it runs great.
not too fast and not slow as a snail either.
i aint going BL on it cause too many kids and objects around.
but this is a fun basher. ziptie was 4 testing purposes,will be removed when velcro comes
just need to buy some VELCRO to hold the bett onto the chassis.

evader512

o ok get a video of it. it looks good

thecatofulthar

Looks cool. But how do you stop the thing if you took the brakes off?

evader512

i second that, run it into a wall or your ankle at 30+! get it on tape so you can send it in to afv

thecatofulthar

Acctually ive been wondering with electric rc's how long of a runtime do you get off of one charge of the battery?

My Feedback: (2)

got the velcro. grand total to build was $27.00
lol its basicly a electric version now, so the esc has brakes on it. lol
the 4 cell pack is giving me around 5-6 min runtime right now maybe more. not sure on runtime.
ill try annd get some vid for u all.
