None of you guys running brushless or fast mod motors are chewing transmissions?
The Evader was my first car back in 2002 and was a blast. REALLY fragile though and the worst servo saver setup I've ever seen. I never ran faster than a 14T brushed on 3000mah 7.2v Nimh packs and I went through transmissions left and right.
Sure do have great memories of that car though. My brother in law and sister also had the same one. We would stand in the back of his pickup truck driving up the mountain and drive the cars in front of us while following in the Yota!
Then strapped glow sticks to them and drove in the pitch black.

Thanks for that Losi 2.2 wheels it is. For the slipper clutch I'm going to use this. Mine has a brass washer in between the steel washer's!?!?.

Don't think that's going to work for the slipper clutch. That is made for inside the ball diff of the Evader ST on the side where the bolt goes through. I am trying to come up with a solution for the brass bushings in the slipper as well. With my Sidewinder 4600kv combo, I wear down the larger bushing in a matter of maybe an hour. Now I'm looking at using either steel or something harder

I don't know what else you'd need in order to do the B2 diff mod in an EXT - if it were me I'd just replace the whole tranny with one from the ST, assuming it mounts up the same.

In the ST all you need is the B2 diff and B2 drive rings (go on either side of the diff and hold the diff balls in). I also bought carbide diff and thrust balls because they are much stronger than the stock ones. Oh right, and you also need 2 5x8mm bearings. Duratrax makes 'em. The outdrives stay the same so CVs aren't necessary, but I did buy the CVDs for the nitro Evader, and they held up just fine to the tumble I took a few posts up

Here's a video my friend shot today of my Evader just doing some driving around the street. I have had it geared down to a 21t pinion because it's been hot here recently, so the speed isn't too impressive but it's around 30mph. Enjoy and tell me what you think (besides the shaky camera )!

Slipper upgrades
1. Associated T4 slipper setup.
http://dtxfan.maxforum.org/2010/07/0...upgrade/#post6
2. Replace the steel/brass washers with one ball bearing.
Sorry I don't remember what size it is, it was a long time ago that I did this.
This was/is a standard upgrade for a Associated B3/T3/GT <<< front wheel bearing is used >>>
3. Double nut the slipper after you get it set.

For the Duratrax haters :-)
Losi XXT is the base for a Duratrax ST, so the ST has the RACE background of a XXT, PLUS the ST has a BETTER diff!
The BIGGEST problem with the Losi XXT and Duratrax ST is they are a OLD design. The Associated T4 put them in that place in 2003 and the Kyosho RT5 puts them even father back >>> talking Race Level <<<.
For a beginner, I'll loan my ST to them before I would loan them my Factory Team T4!!!!

Looks like there isn't enough grease on them BUT you may have removed that as you removed the rings. :-)
They also don't look like carbon rings either.
If you mix carbon balls with plain steel rings this will happen also, NOT saying that is what has happened here. :-)

I didn't know they made carbon diff rings
. I have carbide diff balls and the B2 diff rings. I had to fix it up quick yesterday so I rebuilt my transmission but had to use the original diff rings, which are too small OD and just barely touch the balls.What's the part number on the carbon diff rings?
