The Feigao 8s will be plenty of motor for the evader. It will need a brushless controller as well (in case you were unaware). The 2400s will be fine, but the better the battery, the faster the car will go. I am not sure, but I would guess the 8s to be an 8 turn motor. Brushless motors are not really talked about by the number of turns, though. The rpm/volt of the motor is the standard way of determining the performance/speed of brushless motors. For the 8s, I would gear it similar to a 12 turn brushed motor. Top speed will depend on the number of cells, the quality of the cells, gearing etc. I have had a stampede over 50mph with this motor, so the power is available. Set-up is fairly easy if you have decent soldering skills. There are a few other motors that would work very well in the evader as well. How many cells do you want to run? What motor are you running in the evader now? We can definately find a set up to fit your needs.
