From reading your post it sounds to me like your issue is the LHS, not Traxxas.

I ran a Dynamite Fuze BL system in my Rustler for a long time until I fried the motor. I kept the esc though as I love having the ability to program it. It was my fault the motor burnt. It was a...

3 to 3 and a half turns will just sit and squeal. I run mine all the way tight and back it off a 1/4 of a turn. Never gave me any issues. I have also only stripped a spur gear when my pinion came...

I have nothing on the shocks, but I actually had a Dynamite ESC in my last Rustler. You have to get good 3m indoor / outdoor double sided tape. I went through a couple of different kinds before I...

When I went from NiMh to 3s Lipo my tires were bald within 2 runs and the body was pretty much ruined from 100ft lid skids. The trick is throttle control, but you are still going to get a ton more...

If you are running 2.4ghz just tuck the antenna inside the body. No ugly holes or stuff sticking out.

Do you have the balance connector hooked up? My charger does this when I try to balance charge and forget to hook up to the balance board.

I had an EXI in my Rustler. It did the job well, but it was really loud. Louder than any digital servo I have ever heard, but for the price it was awesome.

Yes, it will work in your Rustler. The 3rd channel is there if you need it. You can hook up lights or something if you wanted to the 3rd channel.

I have 2 GT3B's and love them.

I used parts I pulled off of a nitro rustler that I was selling and everything just swapped over. I am not sure I gained any steering, but there was so much less rolling resistance than with the...

I ran nitro rustler castor alloy castor blocks on my electric rustler. You cant just swap out the castors as there are other parts that are different. You would also need nitro wheels. The nitro...

You may get 25 minutes out of that battery. I ran a 2s 5000mah lipo in my Rustler and would get around 30 minutes depending on how I was running it. With the price of Lipo's I wouldnt bother buying...

The gears in the trans for the XL5 are no longer plastic. New Rustler's have metal gears in the trans.

I have run some pretty powerful motors in my Ruslter's and never blown any of the tranny gears. There has to be something wrong to cause you to go through gears like you are. I would start trying...

What is the C rating on the battery?

I am not sure why anyone would think this? Even with brushed you are going to get better run times and probably better speed. I have had several brushless systems as well as NiMh, NiCd and LiPo...

I know everyone trashes Integy, but I have used their c-blocks on 2 Nitro Rustlers and 1 Electric Rustler. They never let me down. They are just a solid piece of aluminum.

I always replace mine with aluminum towers. It really helps stiffen up the chassis and I have never had any issues with aluminum towers bending or breaking.

I bought a cheapie Duratrax temp gauge. I think it was about $20 or so. You never know for sure how hot a motor is getting unless you check. Me and some buddies were out with our Scalers last...

You can get a Thunder AC680 charger for $45 that will do everything you need charging wise. I have been using mine for almost 2 years and love it. That will get you closer to $150. I would also go...

Aluminum castor blocks are the first mod I usually make on a Rustler. Great upgrade.

If you are talking about this raising the truck, then I would say it will definitely effect handling. My guess would be it would roll more when cornering and you would spend a lot of time on your...

If you decide to get a new controller, look into the FlySky GT3B or the GT3C. I have 2 GT3B's and love them. I bought the controller and a few extra rx's for way less than $100.

Personally, I would just use some spacers to raise the esc tray, cut some slots in the chassis for velcro to hold the battery and move the esc to one side. Here is a pic for reference of how I did...
