MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Before Each Run
1. Check to make sure that all screws are tight and there are
not any screws missing.
2. Check to make sure that the transmitter batteries are not low.
3. Check to make sure that all of the moving parts move
freely and do not bind.
4. Check for broken or damaged parts. Replace any broken or
damaged parts before using. Running the Evader EXT2.4
with broken or damaged parts could result in damage to
other parts.
5. Check to make sure that the receiver and speed control
are still properly secured to the chassis.
6. Check to make sure that all wires are properly connected.
7. IMPORTANT! Check the slipper clutch setting. The Evader
EXT2.4 transmission is equipped with a slipper clutch.
When properly adjusted the slipper clutch will help to
extend the life of the transmission by providing a point that
slips when the kit encounters bumps and jolts that would
otherwise transfer strain to the internal gears. Although
there is no perfect setting for every situation, following the
recommended procedure on page 7 will provide a good
starting point. Final adjustments will need to be made with
the kit on the actual surface it will be running on.
After Each Run
1. Clean any large globs of dirt, mud or debris from the
chassis and moving parts.
2. Disconnect and remove the battery.
3. Check for any broken or damaged parts. This way parts
may be replaced before the next run.
After Every 10 Runs
1. Check the servo saver for proper operation by grasping
the servo arm and linkage and turning one of the front
tires left and right. If the wheels turn without moving the
linkages and servo arm, then the unit is operating properly.
If the linkage and servo arm move, loosen the knurled
adjustment nut on the left side servo saver shaft. If the
servo saver becomes clogged with dirt, it may not work
properly which could cause servo or linkage damage.
The servo saver needs to be disassembled, cleaned and
readjusted. To safely adjust the servo saver, loosen the
knurled aluminum collar on the left side steering post
completely. Then reinstall 1-1/2 turns onto the post. Retest
the servo saver as described above. Adjust the servo
saver tighter or looser if needed.
2. Check to make sure that the bearings are free of dirt and
debris and roll smoothly.
3. Check the shocks for oil leakage. If the shocks have leaked
any shock fl uid out, you should properly refi ll the shocks
for best performance.
4. Check for proper gear mesh between the spur gear and
the pinion gear.
TUNING GUIDE:
When tuning the Evader EXT2.4 make sure that you have
equal length shocks, camber rods and steering rods on both
sides (left and right). They do not have to be the same front
to rear.
CASTER
Caster refers to the angle
which the kingpin is at
in relation to the surface
when viewed from the side.
0° of caster means that the
kingpin is straight up and down. The Evader EXT2.4 comes
stock with 30° of caster and is not adjustable.
CAMBER
Camber refers to the
angle at which the
tire and wheel ride in
relation to the ground
when viewed from the
front or rear. Negative
camber is when the
tire and wheel lean
inward and positive camber is when the tire and wheel lean
outward. Typically you want 0° to 2° of negative camber. Never
put in positive camber. Make sure that both sides have equal
amounts of camber by keeping the camber turnbuckles equal
in length.
FRONT TOE-IN AND TOE-OUT
1° Toe In
Toe-in and toe-out refer to the angle which the tire is at
when viewed from above. Toe-in increases stability under
acceleration. However, toe-in also decreases steering when
entering a corner. Toe-out will increase steering into corners,
but will decrease the overall stability during acceleration. The
front typically is set-up with 0° to -2° of toe-in.

Wheel base is the distance from the center of the front wheel
to the center of the rear wheel. Lengthening the wheel base
increases steering, but decreases rear traction as a result of
increased weight distribution to the front wheels. Decreasing the
wheel base will increase rear traction, but decrease steering.
