Duratrax Evader ST Forum v2.0

[k_sw31]

Yes but.................

That was a rustler, not good for speed testing at all :rolleyes:, plus it was weighted down with aluminum parts and otehr crap :rolleyes:

Throw the same setup in a nice lightweight t3, or evader (if it could handle it ;)), and your doing around 35-40 :)

[grewst]

I just bought a real nice pair of front hubs on ebay, nat. alum.

I just put then on my truck and since it stopped raining for a few days after about 3 wks of rain I beat it up really good.I mean really good. They held up great. The kingpins are still straight. I want another pair for my son's evader. the best part is I got them for $15. I havn't tried his other parts, but he also sells evader knuckles, and T3 top plates. jaagaa is his name look. He has some hubs on auction right now.

[orbitron]

Hey I'm just new and wanted to be a part of this thread. I was looking around and saw some site saying to boil your nylon parts to get more flex in them. has anybody done this? (too many broken hinge pin braces).

[TeamMishap]

Anyone have the aluminum rear hubs? I got some for Xmas and they seem to have slop in them that allows the tires to wiggle internally and externally. Anyone else having this problem?

[pudder]

Contact Duratrax about that. The parts are machined, so there should be no play at all. I have had other machined duratrax parts for bearings and there was no play at all, that was not for the Evader though.

[orbitron]

Bet'cha with this coming out there will be a lot of QUALITY upgrades available soon. I don't like nitro but I bet with the increase in power this will break way more parts than the Photon ever did!

[spreckenzy]

i have the aluminum rear hubs and they do have a little more play than the plastic hubs. But both plastic and alumimun hubs of mine do have a little play.

speaking of the photon motor, my duratrax motor brushes wear out in about ten packs or so, is that normal for the brushes to wear out that fast?

[TeamMishap]

My hubs feel like they need a 0.5-1mm washer in addition to the stock one to shore it up. This sucks. Duratrax's answer was, "Did you remember to put the stock washer on?". My answer should have been, "Nah, I threw the blessed thing out."

Pudder- Saw you got more props in the newest RCCA along with another poster here. Same as last time. They pulled a post out of one of the forums again.

[pudder]

Which month is this that I am in again?

[TeamMishap]

This isn't the one from a month or so ago. It is the newest one I just got in the mail. You've been in twice now in the past 2-3 months.

There is also an EVADER specific article on tweaks to make it faster. Pretty basic stuff but it's nice to see our vehicle get some press.

[k_sw31]

Which issue? I'm not that close to where the mags are sent out, I usually get them a week or two after other people :(

[TeamMishap]

Its the March 03 issue. Pudder is in it...again. And k_sw1 is too, I remember now that I see the name. You guys are superposters. I don't know the page. Whatever page they put the RCZ questions on.

[PITBULL]

do you guys trust a 17 turn mortor in your evader with the stock esc.. or should i just go for the 18. I've heard that the 17 turn works, but i have to watch the heat on the esc.. what do you think

[k_sw31]

Dont worry, it only takes about 1500 posts to get into the new mag :p

I woudn't trust the sprint with a 17 turn (but thats just me), the lowest I'd go would be a 19 turn :)

[pudder]

Hmm... I have over 4000. I am not really an avid poster anymore, I mainly just do the vehicle specific forums as well as some on electric or general discussion once in a while.

[k_sw31]

Hehe, your have over 4800 posts :p

[p.n.e]

gonna have to grab a copy next time im at walmart :) pudder you have a nice looking truck! i saw it on an evader site somewhere. looks a LOT like mines :p

[AznJunkie]

Well I broke some more parts. I bent a kingpin and broke the servo brace. The evader can sure take a beating. I just added some parts to my evader to beef it up. Parts include titanium turnbuckle, titanium hinge pin, and a new slipper pad (the blue ones). My lhs didn’t have the titanium kingpin and the shock shaft that I needed. So I’m getting those off of towerhobbies.

I also swap out my receiver. I have an Airtronics blazer sport radio for my OB4. The blazer sport receiver fits inside the evader chassis perfectly. No more extra servo tapes or putting receiver on its side. Here's a pix: http://www.geocities.com/aznjunkie/evader.html

[AznJunkie]

I forgot to mention that I'm getting an aluminum servo brace from CNC Man. I will get the aluminum hub carriers later on. I’m trying to make the evader super tuff. Are there any other parts you guys would recommend?

[spreckenzy]

i have been trying to make my evader super tuff as well. I have the aluminum hub carriers, knuckle arms, rear hubs, and most importantly the aluminum hing plate right behind the bumper.

i also made a bumper out of 6065 aluminum my brother uses for his real race car. it much wider and taller than the tiny stock one so i think is has helped in the durability fo my truck.

i also have a hitech metal geared servo because i stripped the gears out of the stock servo a couple of times.

but every time i make a part stronger some other part is stressed and breaks. Well i guess it is just part of the game.

anyway i would suggest the aluminum hinge plate

[spreckenzy]

by th eway i dont race so i dont really care about weight and excessive tuffening of the truck. i just bash!!!!!!!!!!!!!(SO faR)

[AznJunkie]

Same here spreckenzy. So far I'm just bashing. I want to race later. So I want to mach sure it's tuff enough for racing. I was going to get the aluminum hinge plate from jep. It looks better than duratrax and is cheaper too.

[spreckenzy]

aZNJUNKIE
DID THAT CNC GUY SELL YOU SINGLE ALUMINUM PARTS OR DID YOU BUY THE WHOLE SET? HE TOLD ME VIA EMAIL THAT HE WOULD NOT BREAK UP THE SET. i WANT THE ALUMINUM FRONT SHOCK TOWER AND MAYBE SOME SUSPENSION ARMS.

[PITBULL]

what do you guys think about getting a xxxt cr losi body and putting it on the evader.. looks so much better. i don't have this myself, but i saw a pic of it and it's waaaay better than the stock painted bodies that we have. i'm going to get a clear one and paint it.

[grewst]

after installing TI hinge pins, aluminum bulkhead, and aluminum front hubs, I haven't broken anything on the front of the truck(except the body mount).
I bash it every chance I get. My 8 yr old also bashes it regularly, so its done everything from cartwheels and barrel rolls to 10 ft dead drops off the retaining wall.

BTW. my evader is strictly for bashing, it will never see another race. I now have 2 very nice t3's for racing

[PITBULL]

are your t3's eclectric or nitro.. are they better than the evader st.. i assume they are..

[AznJunkie]

Sorry to hear that spreckenzy. I just got the servo brace only for $13 shipped. It's unanodized, so it's in silver. Email him again. I'm sure he's willing to sell it in parts instead of the complete set now.

[ginshun]

I just bought a complete set of stuff from CNC Man and a set of the stuff from jep. Once I get that stuff put on I should be nearly indestructable. Or at the very least about as tough as an Evader can get. I will keep you posted.

[PITBULL]

how do you like that stuff from jep.. i ordered a combo pack from him and still waiting to recieve.. what all did you get

[what_up_kid18]

Hey, PITBULL.

You used the "buy it now" for $13.99?

[orbitron]

Jep must be makin a killing, I just bought the combo from his website. http://www.geocities.com/jep_rc/home.html

[jdm3849]

PITBULL- All T3's are electric. GT's are the nitro versions of the T3.

Right now I have a FT T3 with some mods and it is way better than the Evader, it's stronger, lighter, and parts are everywhere for it. Not to mention all the graphite/aluminum parts you can get for it. Also there is alot more bodies that are made to be a direct fit for it. Very tough tranny too.

I have run the stock Sprint esc with a 17 turn speed gem pro and a 7-cell pack succesfully, no problems whatsoever. I also ran a 17 turn sapphire motor with it for about a month or so with no problems.

[spreckenzy]

aznjunkie can you give me his email address if you still have it.? just to make sure that we are talking about the same guy.

[AznJunkie]

Sure his email addy is: jbreth@worldnet.att.net

He posted on a thread about evader upgrades. Here's the post:
http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106033

[spreckenzy]

aznjunkie
yep thats the guy. emailed him last week, he said that he would not break up the set. oh well .

anyway i think someone on this thread just bought the set. i forgot who but it was just a few posts back. whoever it is please tell us if you like them.

are they light in weight? does the car perform the same, better, or worse?

they sure do look sweet! but blue would look better;)

BTW thanks for the info aznjunkie

[AznJunkie]

No problem. I'll let you know how my servo brace works out.

Anyone knows if AE Stealth or Losi tranny will fit in the evader? Looks like AE tranny might fit.

[spreckenzy]

that has been disussed somewhere in this eight four page thread and i think that the losi will not fit directly but the ae stealth maybe close. Pudder would know the answer to this.

[pudder]

Stealth is a direct fit. One problem. The outdrives are too small for the Evader axles, and associated CVD's arent long enough. You're out of luck on that one.

[AznJunkie]

Darn it. :p

Thanks pudder.

[pudder]

Ya, I've tried it...

[ginshun]

That was me that bought the full set of a-arms, shock towers, servo brace, front brace and battery strap from jbreth, aka CNC Man. I also bout the set from jep off his website. They both just mailed them out yesterday so I don't have them yet. I will keep you guys posted on the stuff once I get them installed though. I will get some pics up once they are all installed.

Also, what motor and gearing are you guys running on your evaders? I currently have a 25T pinion on mine with the stock spur and motor. It is decently fast, but I could always see going faster. How low of turn moter can the ESC and the tranny handle?

[orbitron]

To all you seasoned veterans of the Evader!!
I found this website HERE (http://andrew.nailed.org/cgi-bin/rcparts.pl) maybe on this forum or another. I would love to add info to his database but alas I am a rookie. This looks to be the best idea ever!! If you have any additions please do. Thanks for your time and endless devotion to the Evader.

[grewst]

I have had my evader st for 7 months. the first 5 months I replaced the front end of the truck 3 times. plus it meant that the truck sat waiting for parts for about 1 1/2 months.

I bought the alum. bulkhead and TI hinge pins. ( yes the bulkhead is a little expensive, 37.99 at tower I believe).
I installed the bulkhead, at first the little extra weight had me nosediving. After rebuilding the front shocks, using a heavier oil( I was running 30 wt, now I am running 40 wt) I have eliminated the nosediving.
I have had the bulkhead for 2 months now, and the only part on the front of the truck that I have broken since then has been the body mount.
If your sick and tired of replacing the front end of the truck. I recommend the aluminum bulkhead

[TeamMishap]

I just put an alu bulkhead on too. And hub carriers, and knuckle arms, and rear hubs, and pin brace. Looks real nice.

I also painted a bunch of stuff blue (whatever blue car enthusiasts use for painting their engines. Looks pretty cool. I did the bumper, motor guard, both shock towers, servo brace, and front brace. Thought about bluing up the steering linkages, but got tired of blue fingers.

Finally got my destroyed vehicle back together and some Deans plugs on my new 3000mAh packs and it's snowing now. UGH!

Try the HPI rs4 Mt dogbones, I use them in my T3, and they fit the out drives fine, but they are a little longer (More insurance a a crash) so they might fit in the evader, as long as you get some drive axles that'll fit :)

[pudder]

I forget the measurements, but the axles on the Evader need to be atleast over an inch longer I think than the T3 ones, plus they need to be compatible with the Evaders large outdrives.

[spreckenzy]

would these wheels fit on the evader? they are rpm starz rear wheel aluminum losi (2)........they are not aluminum but they are made to look like brushed aluminum. $9.49 at tower good deal?

sorry cant get a picture

[pudder]

Yes.

[PITBULL]

i got my jep parts in yesterday.. i got the extended aluminum bumper, front brace(protects the bulkhead), and rear brace.. all for 15.24.. i got yesterday and ordered it on monday..

[spreckenzy]

i made an extended aluminum bumper out of 6065 aluminum scrap. it is about six inches wide and i think it has prevented alot of potential front end breakage. it looks pretty tough to! wish i could send a picture.

[eliseracer]

evst=good truck, just a few problems; the included motor makes strange noises when i drive, and the suspension is absolutely fragile. my bro's evader's suspension shaft bent about 10 degrees from a med crash. also, my oil is leaking and there is no visible damage done to the unit...

(whoa, 86 htreads)

now my desk is covered with this liquid...

would a p2k2 be good out back in this truck?

[pudder]

Yes.

[kitty]

grewst - nice to hear that your truck is doing much better. I asked my source at Duratrax if they have any plans for a better front body mount and he said no and that it's made to break so you don't break other parts. I say phooey to that. Time for a little creative work with some aftermarket posts and relocation. Screw having to replace the front body mount every time you take the ol' Evader out for some fun.

[Prinler]

Go kitty. :) i wanna see this. :) i personally use the alum brace... it works just the same.. the part that breaks the bulkhead is the a arms hitting something snapping the bulkhead brace... and then shatering the bulkhead.. if the a-arms cant pull apart your fine... what does this? alum bulkhead braces :) jeprc :)

[orbitron]

Front body mount - wouldn't it be possible to slap together a light aluminum (or copper) mount with universal posts? this way an impact would simply bend the aluminum and you would have more versatility for different bodies as a bonus?

[pudder]

I have never had a problem with the body mounts... I would rather have plastic ones than aluminum ones. :rolleyes:

[jdm3849]

I have broke about 3 front body mounts, thats fine with me. I would rather have the plastic than a aluminum on because 1- Al will cost alot more, 2- Al won't give "in" with the body so it will be more prone to cracking your shell, 3- Al will bend and look nasty: After a few bends back and forth the piece will snap.

[ginshun]

Just finished installing all the new aluminum parts on my evader.

Aluminum:

front a-arms
Back a-arms
front shock tower
rear sock tower
servo brace
front brace
battery strap
bumper
plus the two extra pieces from jep

Here are a couple pics.

[ginshun]

front

[ginshun]

back

[jdm3849]

That is the sickest Evader to date, How much did it cost you to build it up like that?

Looks good, I'm suprised you upgraded to aluminum before you switched out the stock tires for some good ones. LOL

[pudder]

Ginshun, do you mind if I put those pictures up on the "readers rides" on my site? http://midcanrc.mine.nu

PM me or tell all of the specs of the truck here!

[ginshun]

The specs?

Well it has all of the aluminum parts I listed as well as a 25T pinion gear instead of the stock one. Other than that it doesn't have anything speacial. Still stock electronics and motor.

And ya, I hear you about the tires. Tires and rims are my next upgrade! I would like to get a new body eventually too. The stock one is pretty lame.

As far as cost goes, I bought the RTR version from my LHS for$180, The bumper and braces from jep for $15, the rest of the aluminum parts from CNC MAN for $100 and the pinion for $5. So all in all I guess I have a pretty sweet sadium truck for the low low price of $300. Not bad if I do say so myself. I would say that with the battery and the parts that I broke and had to replace there is probably another $50 bucks or so in it, but that stuff doesn't really count.

[PITBULL]

that's a nice ride you have there.. the only thing is that i'm not sure of the point intended for some of the aluminum parts you have.. such as the battery strap, the servo covers. it does look good, but i was just wondering if they actuall served a purpose.. keep us all posted on how well the aluminum works on that evader.. next hop up for you should probely be a 17 turn motor at least to handle the weight addition. on my evader, i have a xxxt body(painted candy blue), 17 turn speed gems 2 motor, jep-rc package, and a 22tooth pinion gear.. next, i'm going to get some street tires with good tread.. with my stock phonton motor i can pop wheelies by going into reverse for about a foot then slamming it foward.. i just got my 17 turn motor today, and after work(where i'm at now), i'm going home and putting in the new motor.. i'll let you know how well this works..

I met someone at the lhs the other day and he has an evader st.. like us, but his is super hooped up.. it's basically has all losi parts on it.. he said that every part he's brooken on his evader he's just replaced it with xxxt parts. he got a new esc and a 11turn motor.. he said that that it goes about the same speed as the origional 20 turn photon(which is weird cause my 17turn is waaay faster), it just fish tales evertime he accelerates. he said that he cant get a faster top end speed because the biggest pinion gear that will fit is a 22tooth.. he said that the spur gear cant be changed to a smaller one, to fit a bigger pinion gear in it. i have a 22tooth myself.. actually i've never tried anything bigger.. have you or has anyone fit anything bigger in their evader(smaller spur for bigger pinion, or just a bigger pinion than a 22tooth).

share all your hop ups with us..

[AznJunkie]

I think the aluminum servo cover will be useful. I’m getting one actually. The servo cover holds the battery strap down. I broke mine already. Glued it back and it broke again. I’m hoping the aluminum servo cover will hold up better than the plastic.

So far my hop ups are titanium hinge pin, titanium turnbuckle and Reedy MVP motor. I already order titanium king pin and aluminum servo cover. Everything else is all stock. Future upgrades will be new esc, faster motor, titanium shock shaft (If I can get it) and hard anodized light slipper.

[pudder]

PITBULL-that guy you talked to, why does he have such a huge pinion gear in it? He should be running under a 20 tooth with a 11 turn motor!

[ginshun]

Like I mentioned above, I have a 25 tooth pinion gear with the stock 88? tooth spur on my evader. More specifically it is a Robinson Racing 25 tooth pinion. It fits fine as far as I can tell, and it boosted the speed a good deal over the stock 20 tooth. I may go down to a 17 or 19 turn motor, but I doubt that I will go any lower. As far as the aluminum front brace servo brace and battery strap, they were just part of a set that I bought. I agree that the battery strap probably doesn't do any good, and I don't know about the front brace, but I have busted the servo brace in the past, so I am glad to have that.

[AznJunkie]

Ginshun how's that aluminum servo brace from CNC Man holding up. I'm getting one from him. I want to know if it's a good investment.

[pudder]

We are talking about the servo brace here... not the top brace...

It is very easy to make a metal one on your own, but if you have a few dollars to blow on one made for you, go for it. I was constantly breaking the stock servo braces until I made one of some aluminum I had. Never even bent it. :)

[spreckenzy]

nice ride ginshun that must be bulletproof now!!!!!!!

my hop ups are:

al. hub carriers

al. knuckle arms

al. rear hubs

al. front hinge plate

al. homeade extended bumper

hobbico cs-70 metal geared sevo

pk2 stock motor



i would really like an al. front shock tower. then rpm starz with proline dirt works or dirt hawgs in the back and ribs in the front .

what do you think about the tire selection?

[AznJunkie]

That's what I mean. It's the piece that hold down the battery strap. I don't have time nor the resource to make my own servo brace. So I got one from CNC Man. I hope it will take care of my servo brace problem. :D

[spreckenzy]

how much is he charging for the servo brace? i have never broken one...........yet.

[AznJunkie]

$13 bucks shipped. Not to bad. My servo brace couldn’t withstand countless cartwheels and flips. :D

Time to upgrade. :D

[pudder]

Spreckenzy- That would be good for bashing around. If you want longer wear for front tires I would reccomend getting the same as the rear, dirt hawgs or dirt works.

Have you taken a look at the new Losi tires? They have some sweet looking basher tires, exactly like available for full size ATV's. Check them out at www.teamlosi.com

[spreckenzy]

thanks for the input i will check those losi tires out.

Ginshun where can i get the al. servo brace?


how can i make one, i have access to scrap aluminum?

[pudder]

Give me your address and i'll send you the one I made for free. It is free because it is not the best, but a hell of a lot better than stock. :)

[spreckenzy]

does anybody think that all that aluminum will significantly affect the overall weight of the evader and slow it down or is it so mimimal it doesn't matter?

[pudder]

Looking at Ginshun's truck, it shouldnt weigh it down much. Looking at the front a-arms, they are pretty thin so I doubt they wiegh much more than the stock ones. I wouldnt worry about wieght, but if you were racing I'd reccomend that you use the stock plastic parts instead of the aluminum ones since some of them could bend, but for bashing, go for it!

[spreckenzy]

agreed


i just got the pk2 and i was wondering what pinion would you recomend using?

[spreckenzy]

i still want good punch of the line but top speed is wanted as welll. can i have my cake and eat it too?

[ginshun]

All the new parts are holding up so far. I have only run through two battery packs though. I did accidentally tumble down the stairs in my house though and no breaks or bends, so that is a good sign.


As far s the wieght goes, it is a little bit heavier, but not much. My roomate has a stock evader, if I can find a decent scale, I will wiegh them both.

[guver]

quote "he said that he cant get a faster top end speed because the biggest pinion gear that will fit is a 22tooth.. he said that the spur gear cant be changed to a smaller one, to fit a bigger pinion gear in it. i have a 22tooth myself.. actually i've never tried anything bigger.. have you or has anyone fit anything bigger in their evader(smaller spur for bigger pinion, or just a bigger pinion than a 22tooth)."

Pitbull a 30 tooth will fit, but not with a 88 tooth spur.
here is what would fit mine with stock plate and motor
90t - 15t-26t pinion
88t - 15t-27t pinion
81t - 20t-25t pinion
78t - 23t-30t pinion

that's all the gears I have so far

[spreckenzy]

does a bigger pinion = increased top speed?

[rcracerguy]

Yep is sure does. Bigger pinion or smaller spur gear.

[pudder]

I have fit a 25 tooth pinion on with space for bigger one.

[gtkx80]

Ok, lol...I'm kinda lazy and realy dont want to read all 86 pages of this to find a good site to go to about these Evaders, but I'm really kinda getting interested in them...

I have a super hopped up Rustler and a MFE, and would like to mess with the evader...I'm not sure what it is, but it seems to me like there would be a LOT of parts options and being that there is over 2000 posts on this, lol, I figure you guys would know...So, any help would be nice ! Thanks

[spreckenzy]

what are the cons of a bigger pinion. if it increases top speed what does it decrease?

[k_sw31]

Less torque, less runtime, more heat. etc...

[pudder]

I don't feel like helping anymore, I quit.
:o

[AznJunkie]

Pudder you help is greatly appreciated. Well I got my ti kingpin and servo brace. Here’s a pix of the brace.

[ginshun]

one thing that I did forget to mention about my evader is that both the stock battery connector and the motor bullet connectors have been switched out in favor of Deans Ultra Plugs. Its worth it. So I guess that adds a few more bucks to the price. If you check out the one pic of the back end a couple of pages back, you can see for yourself.

[pudder]

I was just kidding before...

[ginshun]

Anybody know if these rims are direct bolt ons for an Evader, and if not, which ones are?

Rear (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEW30&P=0)

Front (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEW32&P=0)

[ZootMan]

I have had an evader now for almost 1 1/2 years now and have done lots of experimenting with it.I raced on-road with it and i like the fact that the car is very adjustable to whatever you want to do with it.I ran a reedy 10x2 an that is a huge powerhouse compared to any other modified motor.The tires i decided to run were road hogs and i got good results.

When i first got the car i thought that i was basicaly the only one on earth who had one (this was because everyone "dissed" duratrax and gave them a label as a cheap car producer).I then noticed that the good people at car-action decided to review it and gave it the label -=best ready to run stadium truck=-.

The only problems i have had with the car is a cheap servo arm (wich can be replaced with a futaba the same length.)But i did notice a little less turning capability.Another problem i faced was an easily stipped steering servo wich i replaced with a steel gear servo from futaba.

Im looking forward to start racing off-road with it.Any suggestions for a good stock setup?

[spreckenzy]

yep those rpm talonz will fit the evader. any wheeel that will fit the xx-t will fit the evader.

[pudder]

Yes, those wheels are a direct fit.


Zootman- The way the truck comes from stock is a good setup for racing. You will want the suspension arm for the shocks to be mounted all middle holes, front shock tower middle holes, and rear shock tower top outside hole. Adjust the shock collar so that your trucks suspension arms sit level with each other when it has everything (battery and so on) in it. Do you know what kind of surface you will be running on, blue groove, hard, loamy?...

[ZootMan]

The surface i will run on is soggy packed clay.....Thanx for the setup tips.My speed control went bad and i wanted to know if there is one for 10+ turns that is under 100$

[ZootMan]

All losi off-road rims should fit the evader without any adjustments.I have worked on performance on my car and i think im going to start working on beautifying the car to fit my pesonality and the chrome talon rims look as if to fit any personality.I found a nice body that will fit the evader and its base color is black and it has green flames.-=hence i will call it the black evader=-.

oh yeah i almost forgot to tell you that i have had bad luck with the aluminum duratax shocks.Could i rerplace them with traxxas big bores?(knowing that traxxas shocks are smooth)

[ZootMan]

This body is also pretty nice but pretty expensive

I am not sure what you should run for tires, maybe bowties or something, ask people at the track. I run on loose dirt or carpet track so that is not my area...

DuraTrax offers a speed control that will go down to 8 turns, I am sure it is under 100$.

[ZootMan]

OK.....i did some research and found this esc and it has no turn limit and has very low resistance.


http://www2.gpmd.com/image/n/novm1660.jpg


I think this will be my next purchase. :D
