The ball on the dogbone end of the evader driveshaft is to large to fit in the outdrive of an associated gearbox.

I once tried installing my spare B3 gearbox into my evader BX pro. The stealth copy gearbox of the evader runs larger diameter outdrives compared to associated.

Hey Doug, thanks for that info.

If it won't fit the asso outdrives, then there's no way it will fit kyosho or yok outdrives: they are a tad smaller even.
I won't need other dimensions anymore.

is this enough?
note that the offset is far different from the older YZ10 wheels.

If anyone has/knows of universals or CVD's that can replace these, but have a 5mm axle with pin hole and 4mm tread on the side below 10 cm... Please make a similar pic for me.

What do you guy's prefer? Dyed or not dyed white parts?

I'm piecing together a RC 10 for a shelf queen. The buggy will be on it's way in a few days. The parts look OK from the pics but some may be a little beat up. I think I can whiten them up with...

Yes, it's definitely a matter of choice. I can appreciate box art cars with beautiful new white parts just as well as I appreciate people who go their own way and dye parts to their preference. I've dyed parts on numerous occasions to produce the...

alright, so i have my 10t torn all apart for clean up and I'm trying to decide what to do with the chassis. its pretty chewed up on the bottom. I'm trying to decide between: strip it and leave it bare aluminum, strip it and repaint black, or strip...

doesnt really leave a nasty finish, it looks like crap afterwards, but its easily polished out with aluminum polish and a rag. make sure to leave it in long enough to remove the anodizing as well as the color. i have left aluminum peices in anywhere...

What is the best dye to use to dye parts black ?

What is the best way to dye them ?

Last post

IMHO, for black, RIT liquid dye is definitely the way to go.

One other tip: the parts should be CLEAN; obviously no dirt, but no oil or grease, either. This goes for NIP, as well. Many new parts will have a mold release film that needs to be...

I just won a set of black Andys rear arms on ebay (have not received it yet) and I was asking myself if I should dye my RPM worlds arms. Any suggestions? I think it will look nice and leave the other AE parts stock. How about the blue parts (tubes,...

Last post

yea, the arms mount closer together on the chassis so they are longer without increasing overall width. (you gotta narrow the rear of the chassis, and they have special a-arm mounts that hug the stealth)

rears pop up on ebay every so often.

Last post

These are the parts I'm going to put them in the trade section to try and get a direct swap for black ones, I think they might be too good to dye. I will specify what's up for swap there. :)

I recently started my build on my third ebay score, a A stamped gold chassis buggy. The white parts aren't so white and I was wondering if you guys would simply dye them a different color or bleach the white parts altogether? I'm enjoying reliving...

HI!... Forgot to add. If the parts are pretty dirty just soak them in CLR kitchen/bathroom cleaner for 24 hours. The dirt/grime just falls off. It also lightens them up slightly. Then use a small scrub brush and pipe cleaners to clean the parts and...
