stock rim for the evader there dish rims but they are the ones that where on it right out of the box. and whats funny is i have slicks on it and im running it on a slick surface and they are hooking up really go believe it or not, im able to pull the front tires off the ground about a 1/4 of an inch. i can do it 2 or 3 times before the right side pin brakes and it was about the 10th pin is when i fond the damage to the left side. and there are 2 slots like i said a 4 way. its odd and the ppl at my hobby shop can seem to know what to do about it. other then sell me more pins, then again its a big hobby shop with a small rc car spot.

Check your hubs if there is too much play with the hub and the pin under power it will rock and break the pins. also the solid pins are much stronger and will hold up to alot more abuse.

I suppose he could use a roll pin with a needle inserted through the hole, that is what I used when I found that regular roll pins were not enough. For the solid pin, he could use a needle to apply a little blue loctite it the hole that the pin goes through. That way the pin will not fall out when he takes the wheels off. If he needs the loctite cured faster he could use the heat from a lighter to cure the loctite faster (be carefull that you do not melt the hub carrier).
Trust me dude, you don't want to get into an advice battle with me. I have been doing this hobby since I was 7 years old. I may have learned a thing or two on the way. Or could it be the last five years I have spent working on 60 million dollar aircraft for the government? Either way when you want to start talking talking sheer strength of steel in relation to the temperature that the material was tempered at and the relationship to the carbon content of the steel, go ahead and let me know.

hey thinks for the help. when i got in to work i brought my car to work and got ss steal tig rod that is tit i had to push it throw with a press and played with it at work and ran the bosses foot over. once he seen how fast it went he wonted to play with it, and we ended up playing with it till the battery died.
the prob im having now is my right rear shock keeps coming undone and shooting oil all over the play. when im jumping a ram that is only 3in high and 12in long its not like its a big ramp.
