I'm from Vaughan, Ontario - just north of Toronto.

Cool looking Rustler! Why the dremelled cut out area of the battery tray?

Sorry for stealing this thread, but what about the oil weight for the Big Bore shocks? Are they the same weight as the stockers?

Hello all,

I hope this question won't make you all fall out of your chairs laughing :) but I have a question about antenna tubes.

For the XL-5 version of the Rustler, the antenna tube is really...

Awesome story Andrew!! Like you I got a Rustler for christmas (2012) too (bought it for myself). Being 42 years old I'm not brave enough to go brushless (yet). I've done a bunch of upgrades as...

I would go with Traxxas aluminum casters and their aluminum steering knuckles.

I like the LED lights from RPM for 1/10 scale R/C's. http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/products/traxxas/SandR3.htm

I think he would drive it better than I have! :lol: It's been out a total of 3 times and I've managed to break a caster block on one occasion and the rear shock tower on another!

I would still...

I would upgrade the caster blocks, steering blocks and related turnbuckles to the Traxxas aluminum ones. They are stronger than the stock plastic ones and look WAY nicer too. I also replaced the...

Hello all,

I'm a R/C noob, but is it possible to fit a stampede body on a rustler chassis? Is it just a matter of swapping the rustler body mounts for stampede ones? Are any other mods required?...

If I upgrade the AM receiver and transmitter to 2.4 GHz, would a change in servo be required too? I plan to upgrade the stock servo to the Traxxas 2075 one for it's increase reaction time and added...

Thanks G-Rustler! I didn't know that. I checked out the exploded view from the Bandit and it shows the three product codes I mentioned. I'm a total noob to the world of R/C but I hope to learn a...

You could try part number 3632A (blue) or 3632G (green) or 3632X (red). They should be a direct replacement for the stock plastic ones.

Out of curiosity do they make a 550 version of this motor?

Awesome story Stach! You got some excellent photo taking skills too! :thumbup:

I'm totally new to the R/C world. I bought a Rustler XL-5 about a month ago. So far I broke a caster block - replaced them with Traxxas aluminum ones. Also replaced the camber and steering links...

Hello all,

I would like to upgrade my transmitter and receiver to 2.4 ghz. Which Traxxas 2.4 ghz transmitter/receiver combo would be a direct fit for my rustler? Are there any other brands...

Hello all,

I have a stock motored Rustler XL-5 and I was wondering if gluing tires to rims is absolutely necessary. I would assume it is with a brushless or nitro powered car. I'm also using the...

Geez, I never thought of that - stupid me! I kind of like the blacked out windows. It makes the car look more life like in a way. Plus I can see out a remote on/off switch would be hard to mount...

Are these shafts the same length as the stock Rustler ones? How about the axles, are the same length too?

Hey all,

Does anyone know of a kit or mod that will take the on/off button of the ESC and move it to a place more accessible? :confused: Maybe I'm alone about this but having to take the body...

Thanks for the super fast response G-Rustler! You may just have saved my marriage! :thumbup:

Hello all,

I'm in the midst of replacing the steering blocks, camber blocks and caster blocks on my Rustler XL-5 because I broke the stock caster blocks (street curb + rustler x 3 = snap). My...

Hello all,

I would like to replace the stock shock towers (before they break) and I was wondering if I could get everyone's feedback/opinion regarding which is best. I assume that the stiffer...
