I purchased my rustler 9 and a half years ago. For those of you that were with Traxxas at this time, you know what they came with. A awesome Mechanical Speed Controller/Stinger 20 Turn Motor/Un-Adjustable plastic tie rods. It was a great truck at the time of purchase. Since then Traxxas has progressed a lot. Rather than buy a new VXL rustler I just kept building on my good old 9.5 year old rustler. Up until 6 Months ago it still had the stock chassis, unfortunately I snapped it in half and had to install a spare that was just as old as my original. I know this truck isn't pretty or clean, but its my baby. Its been through **** and back. <br>
Very Few mods left to go, aluminum shock towers and bulk head. So far I have done aluminum arms/tie rods all around/caster blocks/bell crank/axle carriers, front and back/trans case with upgraded trans internals from new rustler, with locked diff/steel drive shafts/big bore suspension and a few little things. I figured I would throw this up on the forums because some older members might appreciate what has been done here. Thanks for looking all!
Starting of my new Body for Rusty , Hv more work to do but hear a little preview of it .![]()
1 Rusty VXL + 1 Villain EX Boat
Adding mine in. Just completed the conversion from Slash to Rustler

Ive pretty much made steel removable sand paddles
Also know as tire chains
My Rustler VXL converted to a SCT. Wow this thing is fast. Throws a mean rooster tail too. Still needs adjustment. Can hear the slipper clutch slipping at the end of the video. When i reached down to pick it up just as the video shut off the slipper was smoking and smelt like burnt clutch lol. Check out the build thread.

Here's a body I painted for my no. 1 son. Figure I should show it off now before he trashes it.
It doesn't show up well, but the grey on the wing and windows is Alclad chrome.

Hey there, I'm new to the forum, and my kids wanted to post a couple pics of our Rusty...the original body got trashed so we found a New Bright car at a yardsale for 3 bucks and pirated the body off of that!! So far, so good!
