I'm getting an evader soon, and from what I've seen of them, they remind me of big buggies with truck tires. Anyone ever mounted a buggy body on an evader?
I'm also getting a stampede shortly, anyone ever got creative with bodies for stampedes? car bodies and such?

well there is the evader bx wich is nearly the same as the st. Just diffrant front shock tower and few other small parts. I guess just get the BX shock tower and you would beable to mount a buggy body with no trouble.

almost like a 1/10th electric rwd truggy :p

Front tower

I got the evader yesterday, gotta stop buying stuff online, got ripped off again, was supposed to be in perfect condition, I go to give it a test run and it won't turn, servo is totally stripped, emailed the guy and he said "oh well, if you have to replace the servo, so be it, I don't know what to tell you"
anyway, you should see the body on this thing, it had more stickers than paint, It was painted black, looked kinda dull and scuffed up, so I figured I'd pull the decals and polish the lexan, but once I start pulling decals, which proved to be a bitch, I found out that the guy had clear coated the outside of the body. What is the point of painting the inside of the shell if you are going to clear coat over the outside :[
Needless to say I destroyed the body by pulling the stickers. Ironic part is, I actually am liking the ST body now and dont even want to use a buggy body anymore, LOL
