Evader ST Problems

Is anyone having issues with bending the motor plate on your evader? I have the ST Pro version so it uses an anodized motor plate, i have been through 3 of them, none lasting very long. It seem any bump to the motor/rear will bend this causing it to be slightly out of alignment with the spur so it eats gears like no other!

Also i noticed the slipper plates do not rotate evenly. I replaced the top shaft, slipper plates and all gears with no luck. The new plates i didnt even use because they seem even more off? It dosnt appear to be the topshaft because if you spin the wheels it rotates with no wobbles at all until the slipper is installed!

Am i just spinning my wheels on replacing things? It seems that the tolerances are not that great with duratrax...even the gears are way out of round depending on what size gear!

That tranny has alot of malfunctions try a stealth in there if ur willing to mod it it will work so much better!

whats involved in using the stealth tranny? I really dont want to hack up the truck and have to ghetto rig it. is it a simple 4 hole bottom mount?

I can't remember how many holes it is but its a fairly simple instal. You simply dril the new holes, and countersink teh ma little. It shoudl go very easy.

The stealth mounts in a very similar way to the original (2 bottom rear and two on top in the front), but ill need to see if it clears the toe blocks and the upper tranny mount. As soon as i can try one, ill post the results here.
