What did you do to your rustler today?

[rustlervxl4life]

I bashed in the park with it and did not break it.

[ldsfisher]

I replaced the rear carrier bearings, two were in pretty bad shape so I decided to just replace all 4. Unfortunately it had been raining all day so I really didn't want to run it.

[I EAT DIRT]

Installed the castle 2400 MMP sct combo, geared it 25/52. Now it is time to play. Oh I run 1/8 buggy wheel's and full extended aluminium chassis and tower's. Thinking mid to high 70's as I already hit 60.2 geared 19/52 with the 3800 sct combo. I guess we will see.

[tyrustler99]

[rhardy60]

I replaced a bulkhead for the third time on my rusty . Stupid Mailbox . LOL

[dcsally97]

I test drove the Project Rusty I am building with the Proline Performance transmission. I have uncovered some issues with it and have contacted Proline to see what they suggest.

[clmarek1]

1. I replaced the front stock a arms with a set of rpm. (Replaced the rears already due to a bad crash).
2. Replaced old set of dirt hawgs with a new set. (They were way beyond repair).
3. Replaced the 27 Mhz receiver with a 2.4 ghz. (Bored of bashing and plan on going to the local track).
4. Started a new paint job on a JC Concepts ford raptor body. (My other painted body is pretty beat up and wanted something new. I probably am not gonna bash with the new one and try to keep it nice).
5. Spent way to much money this weekend. Wife's gonna kill me or just use it as an excuse to get a new purse or something.

Cool thread! Its something different besides the usual stuff.

Can you say this 2 days in a row??

[cunawarit]

I don't have a Rustler, but I do have a Bandit.

I glued tires on and adjusted slipper clutch, hopefully going to a local club race this Friday... Weather permitting.

[2012rustler]

Took my boy to the skate park for a bash....the rpm bumper was worth ever penny! He was tearing it up...big air hard landing ....time well wasted!,...the 12t was working like a champ

Waiting for my vxl ESC to come back...love the ESC...hate the button!!

[Thebig131]

I brushed it off for the first time in over a year... I'm coming back into the electric racing game.

[I EAT DIRT]

went out bashing with a few speed run's "18/50" gearing. She was fast with the 3800 sidewinder combo, going with the MMP/3800 when my battery plug's get here. Took her down to the big gravel lot and beat the snot out of her. Big jump's, couple of bad tumble's where the shock end came off. All in all a good outing. I do need a motor guard though.

[2012rustler]

Got a new body....well sort of...my boy decided he wanted red, all good cuz I needed a diff color n e way. Charge batteries , kill batteries ...put on shelf..see y'all soon.

[Caveman04]

Picked up the green traxxas wheelie bar from the LHS and installed with my blue aluminum wheels.

[O.G.]

Ordered some parts from amainhobbies for my Rusty

Sent from the cockpit of my Jeep Wrangler

[wirgej38]

i ordered a sidewinder sct...i've been suffering withdrawl since august of last year when my vxl motor and esc blew...now i have to wait for it to get here

[TraxxasGuyHere]

Hit a small little itty bitty jump and broke an inner yolk... although im running a slash half driveshaft and inner yolk maybe thats why its breaking? not sure but oh well lol

[degenerit]

I have been waiting for almost a month for the right parts to be in stock. Today held good news there is a light at the end of the tunnel at my lhs, long drive in my future! i may be posting here again soon.

[cunawarit]

Today I crafted a transponder mount from a pack of ham.

That's right, from the packaging that some ham slices came in... Let's see if it works.

Get the steel ones if you haven't got them, they are a tonne better!

[ttThree]

Slash 4x4 heavy duty driveshafts are good and for a decent price as well. Much better than stock, and they can even compete with steel ones that unfortiunatly unpinn some times.

How much are they? Won't they put strain on the differential

I gave my old Rustler a new look today.

I’ve looked at lots and lots and lots of RC paint jobs on line and a few at the LHS. They range from mild to wild and the individuals that create them have a talent and vision that I am severely lacking, my hats off to them. But with so many outstanding colors available I decided a one can wonder was within my abilities and would work just fine for my Rustler.

[rustlervxl4life]

Silver you have a nice project going on there!

[O.G.]

Measured the length of my new Losi Ten T shocks and test fitted them.

[Ewright1096]

I replaced a bulkhead for the third time on my rusty . Stupid Mailbox . LOL

Mine has a hairline crack, I am waiting to hit my neighbors mailbox again (bound to happen sometime...) and it just break all the way, good news is I already have a spare! Those mailboxes just come outa nowhere sometimes...

[QYKSLVR]

Silver you have a nice project going on there!

Thanks man, It has been a long time coming for this truck. Still need some green metal hexes (on backorder) and Id like to get another battery soon. Probably a Kawasaki Ed. body to tie it all together.

[rustlervxl4life]

What tyres are you using? Are they 1/10 wheels with 12 mm hex?

[Tondin Banks]

New Titan motor should be waiting for me when I get home. I'll be breaking that in nice and easy tonight. Might see how hard I can bash about with the old one, first...

[QYKSLVR]

What tyres are you using? Are they 1/10 wheels with 12 mm hex?

Yes they are Prolines new Street Fighter 2.8 on Desperados. A bit big for the rustler, I think meant more for the stampede, so i will at least have something to use them on lol. Im likely going to get some GRP tires and 17mm adapters, or go back to a 2.2 street tire.

[O.G.]

Test-fitted my new Viper copperhead 4500 motor/esc

[rustlervxl4life]

Bought talons with gold rims

[QYKSLVR]

RPM Shock guards and some other goodies on the way.

[cunawarit]

A bit of cleaning after racing yesterday... Didn't break anything other than made a crack on the body worse.

[rustlervxl4life]

Bashed for 2 hours straight on 8000mah Lipo
