List of goods needed for "bullet proof" tranny:
Parts that I used for my Brushless Evader Tranny conversion > Evader ST Pro Chassis:
DTXC7889 EXT/Brushless Evader Gearbox
DTXC7454 EXT/Brushless Evader Assembled Diff Gear
DTXC1595 10x15mm Ball Bearing (one for each side of new diff gear)
DTXC8092 EXT Idler Gear (use 5x10 bearings)
DTXC7457 EXT/Brushless Evader Dogbones
DTXC6179 EXT/Brushless Evader Axles
DTXC7337 Springs (goes on both ends of dogbones to keep centered)
I prefer the geared Brushless Evader tranny over the ball diff nowadays when using high power brushless motors. It's simple; tough, and less maintenance. Three years and counting... I haven't had to replace any of the bevel gears yet in the Brushless Evader gear diff. Spur gears will wear out though (I have to get a new one every one ~ three months or so). I use the old but faithful dogbones & axles instead of the EXT/Brushless Evader CVDs to transfer the power to the wheels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional Parts:
You can use the original Evader ST top shaft and slipper plates, or get the new style of slipper like I did:
DTXC9622 Top Shaft Brushless Evader
DTXC9313 Brushless Evader Slipper Plates
DTXC9312 Slipper Pads Brushless Evader
DTXC9311 Spring/Locknut Brushless Evader
DTXC9418 Spur Gear Brushless Evader
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I highly recommend disassembling the Brushless Evader Assembled Diff and clean the 8 screw holes well with cleaner (I use motor spray); then putting some Loctite (blue/medium) on all 8 of the little 2x5mm screws that hold the Assembled Diff Gear together before installing it into the gearbox.
Other tid bits:
Music wire (.047in/1.19mm) works for the diff pins(inside gear case) and in the Evader CV shafts
Music wire (.062in/1.57mm) works for drive pins in the axles
Pack DTXC7454 Brushless Evader Assembled Diff ¾ full with Lucas Oil 10005 Red 'N' Tacky Grease (my favorite) or any high temp bearing grease will do.
DTXC7889 EXT/Brushless Evader Gearbox

DTXC1595 10x15mm Ball Bearing (one for each side of new diff gear)

Hey sorry was MIA from the boards for a bit, thanks for the advice and listing out the parts. I will give it a try. Sounds pretty reliable

Looks like the Evader has been discontinued. That's what it says on Tower and they are under the Hobbico umbrella with Duratrax. Wonder how long we will still be able to get parts.

What he was trying to explain is, These motors are not designed to be opened up. You can open the tabs, but that could throw off the timing. If there is debris in the motor, you can remove the brushes and get some motor spray to spray it out. However, for $20, you can get a new motor. Your brushes are probably almost worn down anyway.
