Hehe I know I will if I keep it that way which is why I have already been trying to keep my eyes open for an HPI firestorm roller. I desperately need something with an all metal transmission.

I may however have a hookup when it comes to my poor evaders transmission gears. My GF's dad works at a machine shop with a water jet cnc machine along with numerous other machining hardware. I gave him my evaders plastic ball diff gear to see if he could write up the cnc blueprints for it. He said he wasn't too sure if theyre water jet machine with theyre smallest nozzle could make the teeth of the gear but if it could then it would be no problem to fabricate one out of any metal I chose. So I have my fingers crossed.

If it turns out he can make them easily then over on Jang's forums with the astounding amount of people with evaders over there I might be able to market them. He has already stamped out a motor plate for my evader made out of steel both for rigidity and weight over the rear wheels for better traction that fits perfectly.

Every time I look at my evader or my E-Revo I keep trying to find some weak spot that could be made out of metal for better durability. I know the Revo's diffs are a weak spot but honestly, in two and half years of running mine I haven't had a single problem yet out of my diffs.
