Yeah the nuts in there and the motor fits. It just clears the speed control and mounting plate. If the motor was a tiny bit longer it would hit the esc and plate. Its a real close fit. If I take the...

Thanks for the reply Mrhammer2u, Yeah the chassis kit came with the new plate. At first I was wondering if the plate was bent so I replaced it and i'm having the same problem. This is my 4th ground...
I upgraded my slash to the new chassis and I can't get my motor to sit level. The end of the motor where the wires come out is sitting higher than the pinion gear; making the pinion gear to mesh at a...
Yup, thats all you need. The rpm cambers will work but you can't tune them. You might need a couple suspension pins but I can't remember. Good luck Rob
I just built another 4x4 and I wanted to go truggy with this one. She came out great so far. Mamba Max Pro, 17mm hubs, Protrac arms, a bunch of rpm parts and more. I have some Ofna 1/8 buggy wheels....
I know a bit about gearing but i'm not sure witch sizes will fit in my pede 4x4. I'm going for a trail ridding/ crawling tune right now and want to gear as low as I can go. Will a 56t spur fit...
Here are my videos. I should have another up in a week or so. I just made some trails in the woods for some trail riding and crawling. Let me know what you think.

You have to take out all the ones in the pic except the ones holding the arms on. Are the Dynamite hex? I highly recommend hex screws. Thats what all my screws looked like in all the used trucks I...
20/70 should give you the 50+ as long as all conditions are right. 80mph is easy with a 3.3, high gearing (66/20 or 68/22) and all the useless weight removed like the ez starter. I'm having good luck...
Modified Jato shafts. Each shaft has 2 male ends and a female connecting the 2. I plan on trying slash 4x4 shafts. They might be long enough. I just ordered a bunch of shafts to keep my slash/ pede...
Nice work man. You will need some kind of tranny brace to stop the chassis from flexing and bending on hard landings. I know its only a templet but what kind of wood is it? Heavy? As for the...
I was a little worried my first time but I knew i'd figure it out. Remove the screws for the tranny brace by the tank, disconnect break linkage and drive yokes from the tranny. From the bottom of the...
Yeah Powerman has the right idea here. The ez starter wands are junk. The older style wands that zip ties to the battery are a little better I think. Getting rid of the ex starter is a great...
Thanks guys. I have seen a couple other extended chassis builds that other people done. Powerman's chassis was just what I was looking for in my build. Its so flippin strong. Powerman and I left no...
Sound like the vxl mod is for you. You want RPM arms front and rear and RPM caster and steering blocks for the vxl rusty. You will also need traxxas front axles and front hubs from the vxl/ electric...
The diff spen is there for a reason, but stock theres too much spin. I would recommend a thicker than stock grease, like traxxas 100k diff lube. Unless where talking cralwers or drift cars, i'd stay...
If there leaking at the caps, use a little Teflon tape around the threads on the body. If you jumping the truck, upgrade to the aluminum caps. Just incase it leaking at the bottom, get fresh o rings...
The nitro is faster than a brushed rustler, but would need work, like a 3.3, to be faster than the brushless vxl with lipo battery. Nitros are a whole new world. To be honest, some would say the...
This one is a mix of all the rusty action this year before the 3.3 blew up. My truck is all together now just waiting on the right day to break in the new 3.3. I should have new video soon. Let me...
To be honest, you won't need to upgrade to a new pipe but its not a bad idea down the road. The 3.3 will work fine with that pipe. The aluminum stock jato pipes are a great choice for cheap money. I...
You don't need new shocks. Just mod the ones you have. Buy a couple sets of springs and play around. You can add spacers or a peace of fuel line inside the shock, on the shaft under the piston to...
I'm almost back in the game. I got my new engine in last night. I just need to put the tranny together and drop her in. I upgraded to the 2.4 finally and I used a THS pipe with Jato header cause the...
I'm going big block for my off roader but thats only cause shes heavy. I just put my third 3.3 in my street rusty. Thats right, number 3. My last one lasted almost forever. I feel its the right...
The first one is for the rustler. I think the second one is too powerful for the rustys electrics. Allot of people love the rechargeable packs. You need the wiring harness made by traxxas if you want...
I'm sold on the nitro casters just cause how my street truck rides. I can turn with great control at speeds I wouldn't dream of with any other truck I owned. Thats just on one build. Your right about...
