Duratrax Evader ST Pro

[Planb606]

I have the same truck. It is a fun truck to take out once in a while. However, be careful with the motor you have in it. That gearbox is not that strong. For parts, I get them from Ebay. However, parts are getting getting more scarce.

Would I be able to upgrade the differential gears with just some gears from my hobby shop maybe steel or something if they break I'm not looking to run it hard I have 2 senton 3s a senton mega upgraded to brushless and a losi baja raptor so I'm not looking to use it as a main car it's just something to mess around with once in a while

I'm also kind of curious if it's possible to fit one of these proline transmissions on it lol https://www.prolineracing.com/performance-parts/pro-line-performance-transmission.asp

Duratrax had put out the Brushless Evader. That tranny was the most bulletproof tranny I have ever had! Finding the Brushless Evader tranny parts is an endless search, and coming up with nothing most days.

That looks like a good potential candidate. I often had a notion of using a Rustler tranny bolted up to my Evader. That flat spot of the gearbox would make a great anchor point in my mind. I envisioned using the slider shaft axles as well as the rear Rustler hubs mounted to the Evader's arms.

Where I posted on RCU...

Where does a person begin? If you don't have any EXT spare tranny parts, and don't want the frustration...it's time to sell. The Evader, and all its reiterations, is a tinkerer's platform now. Taking parts from other platforms; that almost fit , and making them somehow work is going to be the challenge. Like David did with an ECX tranny, and Traxxas slider shafts....

Did that nitro hustler trans work out on the evader I want to upgrade it as it doesn't look very big or look very strong

I only had plans to do a Rustler tranny swap when my spares ran out... but never got to that point. I think I had three complete Brushless Evader trannies stashed away for when the time came. I swore I was never gonna sell my Evader ST trucks. For whatever reason, I fell out of love with Duratrax and I sold everything.

The Rustler gearbox just looked like it had potential and cheap... $8 to chop it up and try to secure it to the shock tower/chassis.
