Pictures of street setups!

[SteveLongIsland]

My friends and I have all setup our Rustlers and slash for the street. Every week we battle to see who has the fastest most consistent setup on an oval track in a local parking lot. I would like to see pictures of your rides that are setup for the street. thanks.
Also if you guys have any tips for street racing rustlers let me know.

[tyrustler99]

all you need are street truck tires, tight shocks and a powerful motor...............my rusty isnt souped up for the sreet, im more of a dirt track kinda guy

[ttThree]

Well, my rustler is in a process of beeing streetable, not for circuit, but for straight line.

A brief picture:

Tape just protect the tread on offroad tires?

[ttThree]

I have the tape on so the front tyres shouldnt baloon while driving fast.

[O.G.]

I have the tape on so the front tyres shouldnt baloon while driving fast.

Won't the tape tear and fly off after a run or two? Did you read posts about the tape being on the inside of the tire? (I know that's impossible with your front foams)

[G-Rustler]

i thought the tape had to be on the inside to stop ballooning? never seen tape on the outside of tires

[Caveman04]

Here's my street setup.

[AbSoLooT1]

I have it set up now, to be wide and go 70mph. However i am about to pull the trigger on a MMM and Castle motor to go for the ol 100mph. Its the same costs as if I was gonna go for 70mph, so guess im goin for it. lol.

Il be switching it out for sure.

Btw TTthree, From my understanding... Foam tires dont ballon. Also, tape on the "outside" wont do anything for you, except for completely kill your traction, and rip right off. I u have tape on the outside, you dont have tires touching the groud, so whats the point. When people talk about taping their tires, they are talking about doing it on the inside. But thats on rubber tires, that someone glues to the rims. Not Jaco Foams.

Btw... Where u get em, I keep seein em sold out.

my sort of speed setup is anacondas and a 3 cell lipo using stock motor/esc. im just seeing what a stock setup can do. i have seen a MMM for a good price. but i just don't have a flat surface long enough for it.

Actually, the tape on the wheels is just to protect them from oil, glue, paint, etc while working in the basement. It was a lame atempt to a joke.

@ Absoloot, going mmm and 2200kv will be alot more expensive than just going 70mph. Even if you find a used motor and esc you still have to buy mod 1 pinions, alloy tranny, buggy wheels, 17mm hex, gyro, 6s lipos, the list can be made long. Not to mention the possibility to crash and ruin you build.

Your rustler look kinda neat, i wouldnt ruin that.

Not a hardcore speed runner - but its my street Rusty , Just finished the paint next is lower mounts on the front

Yeah I've been to island raceway a few times for some parts as that is not even 5 minutes from me, but they only seem to race the buggy cars there.

The manorville track looks fun

i take my rustler to island raceway with no issues, many people run buggies, but also slash, stampede, rustlers etc..

[tyrustler99]

[SteveLongIsland]

Where in manorville is the track? I live 10 minutes from manorville and have no idea about the track.

[Kansei]

Nice bandit looking body, these are getting popular these days.

[SteveLongIsland]

running G-loc wheels with a proline suspension, and a MMP esc and castle motor.

[ttThree]

Nice rustler above, proper street one.

[joe831]

Someone should make a thread in the buddy locator forum for Long Island! Seems there are a couple of traxxas guys.

Between all my buddies and I there are 5 of us that bash.

We are in Wading River, there are some nice parking lots that get empty by 8:30-9:00.

[pavmentsurfer]

Started out as a 6S, 100mph attempt stock truck that never made it:




Then I downgraded it to be a simple street runner with a bunch more upgrades. Never ran it like this before I sold it:

[tyrustler99]

sweet truck man why do sell something so beautiful;(

[SteveLongIsland]

Very nice truck Is right. Is that black chassis stock?

Hmm, that's a bit far out on the island from me.

[rraattrroodd]

It's a little sandy from being close to the beach.

[pavmentsurfer]

Sold because I didnt ever use it and saw no real use in its future with me. I have a 1/8 onroad car so that takes care of my pavement needs. I just wanted to see what kind of cool setup I could build mostly from parts I already had on hand. Turns out, it was a pretty **** setup and would have been FAST on 2S. Oh well... lots of nice rides in this thread though. I like many of them. Lots of good style.

[O.G.]

My street setup with a basher body. FLM alu transmission, Swami wheelie bar, MMP/velineon motor, 17mm hubs and big block tires, blue Bad Horsie shock covers, diff filled with Bad Horsie grease, a set of big bores on order...

[SteveLongIsland]

Hey pavement surfer, what kind of wheels and tires were those? How did they handle?

[RC-Fan]

Hey pavement surfer, what kind of wheels and tires were those? How did they handle?

the first are rally grp belted tires 1/8 scale 17mm adapters, specially for speed runs, the second are proline speedhawgs 2.2 tires, nice, and gripy low profile tires just for on-road.
