    I know they have Purple for the Rustlers but they also may make Blue, since they do for the T-Maxx's and 4-Tec's

    I run a mix of GPM AND Powerline
    GPM Stuff is all blue and Powerline is pruple.
    BTW most people dont like alloy.
    I love it. My rustler is almost unbrakeable.
    Heres the story. I got tired of my rustler breaking. Little parts that would stop my days playing and send me home early. (We have a group of us with 5 rustlers, so its a bumer when you get shut down because of some little part.)
    I have done lots of research on this car and have made it bullet proof.(I don't consider them Hop-ups)
    Here's the list:
    ALLOY REAR BULKHEAD.
    ALLOY REAR SHOCK TOWER
    ALLOY FRONT SHOCK TOWER
    Powerline rear shocks.
    Big Bore front shocks.
    TITANIUM TURNBUCKLES
    ALLOY FRONT "C" HUBS
    ALLOY FRONT TURNING KNUCKLES
    ALLOY REAR HUBS.
    Bearings at all the wheels.
    MIP CVD'S
    CVEC EXHAUST.
    Ported Headers.
    ALLOY FRONT AND REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS.
    STAINLESS STEEL Hindge pins.
    Dirt hawg tires
    HIP Rims.
    I left the front bulkhead, rear control arm mounts and front and rear skid plates plastic. These parts are strong and will flex under heavy impact. So far. everything is holding up. I'ts just non stop play until I want to go home. No stopping to fix Broken parts, etc.

    Set your car up so that You can play with it. Not spend your time fix'n it.
