i am thinking of converting my xl-5 rusty to a slash, i was wondering does anyone know what i need to do this and do it right. i know about the body and body mounts im wondering about the chassis and suspension stuff. i have a 15t trinity motor and a 7 cell stick pack. if anyone has done this i would like to see some pics as well thanks.:D

Your front body mounts are fine, you'll need the rear. You also are going to need the slash chassis, nerf bars, front/rear bumpers, skid plates, battery bar. I believe the A-Arms are the same, but won't swear to that. You will also need either to come up with a way to mount your receiver and antenna or you will need a slash receiver box and micro receiver.

does the slash handle as well as the rusty? and is it worth my time and effort.

i think i prefer my rusty to my slash. but the slash with a LCG chassis would be best. havent got to compare them offroad really though.
