It comes with a video on how to get started, so for those of you who are bad with instructions, just watch and learn. Here we're going to outline some of the pro and cons for the vehicle, as well as show you pictures and videos of it racing around in action!

Features Of The Duratrax Nitro Evader ST

Pros

• Comes with a DTX .18 pull-start engine and 75cc fuel tank. All of which is secured right into the ultra tough chassis made of 3mm thick anodized aluminum. Durable and powerful - so powerful that it wouldn't be allowed in official races by ROAR standards! This thing is fast.
• Comes stock with Pro-Line tires, which are amazing for off-road racing - right out of the box!
• Stock servos is just powerful enough to manage steering, breaking, etc.
• Comes with a three-gear sealed transmission, making it optimal for racing.
• Shocks are more than average, making it handle bumpy terrain like its nobody's business.
• Comes with a 12 month Stress-Tech guarantee from Duratrax, so if you break something, you'll be taken care of. It also comes with a 3 year engine warranty - definitely great for a first time buyer.
• Very lightweight, weighing in at 4.3 pounds.

Cons

• Break-in methods in the instructions used to ask you to run the engine too lean. Newer instructions may have fixed this issue.
• Replace the stock servo with something more powerful, like the Futaba S3003.
• Like the Duratrax Nitro Evader BX buggy, the fuel tank is also too small. Upgrading your fuel tank to a RC10GT tank from Team Associated is recommended.

Rating/Recommendations
