The Losi uses a similar trick, replacing the balls with a hard plastic pad.

Hence it's very unlikely any sand would cause a problem. Use a high grit #, and really wouldn't be a problem.

I cant see why you should have problems with the EVO IV spool?!? I've used it with the TA05 steel outdrives for almost a year now. No mods. Fits perfect! :-)

No mods. Fits like a glove...
I use a couple of .1mm shims to take up play, but thats it.
I can check agin with the part number, but I'm sure its the EVO IV spool from tamiya.

You mention you are using the TA05 steel outdrives. I've had a quick look at some pictures (unfortuantly I don't have any to hand atm, so don't know if this is fully correct), and it would appear that the flange to hold the bearing in place is thinner on steel cup, than on the standard Evo4 black plastic cup. This would mean the bearings could be placed closer together, enabling a drop in fit...
Do you still have the plastic outdrives? any chance you could confirm if this is the case?
Cheers

makes sense though to run the TA05 spool drive cups since they are steel and would hold up better.

Not sure about the spacing on the drive cups, worth checking the MRE ones though
BTW, my Evo5 is still for sale;
