RPM stuff is great, but you gotta get it off the internet

I have to attribute some of it to the 35 degree weather but I was bashing in the backyard and was climbing up our 6' fence (we have a plastic trellace standing up on it) and landed on the roof. Snapped the tower immediately. Oops. But I did do several vertical 180s successfully before the crash. I really need to start shooting some video.

@coolguy1975, you can find the FLM parts at these two location s that I know of. There might be more.

@Aljo, I really do love tinkering on the Rustler. Maybe more than I do driving it. So breaks are always welcome.
And really looking forward to your videos.

@ Aljo I have the same mini camera (MD-80)

Stryker USMC

Oh, Ihave GOTS to get me one of these! (the MD80, I mean)

Just saw a youtube video of one in action. One heck of a good buy at $25.

I have to say I need a little more FPS(maybe I should change settings..)Does anybody knows how can I set it to 30 FPS?I think default is 20 FPS(otherwise I need a 40FPS on board camera...)

AL3xGR

Also,photobucket or image shack account?(I want to make a forum for my Mini STe - I have lots of photos)(I don't want to pay something)

Aljo: I just dyed the wheels red with a fabric dye called Rit. Really quick and easy. The chasis and the transmission case were also dyed black. they were originally grey.

Stryker USMC

Got my rear tower fixed. I just put on a RPM one for now. I have the ProTrac suspension but won't put that on until I have the rest of the parts and a new body.

Figured while I have the lid off might as well grab the Dremel and rearrange some things. Anyone else perform this mod on their Rusty? I figured I dropped some weight and put the center of gravity a little closer to center. I didn't like the speed controller up so high and to the rear of the car.

thehuntingterminator

alot of people move their ESC to the side, it balances the car better. its a common mod on the Rustler

Aljo

Ya I found RIT dye here in Australia, at a place called Spotlight. Ya I will be dyeing chassis and few other grey bits royal blue but the gear box casing I got was already black which I prefer over dyeing a grey one blue.
You dyed it ontop of the chrome? I tryed that but it didn't absorb into the chrome it actually blistered the chrome.

Best camera for the price the world over, IMO.

Ya I would like to know also if I find out I'll let you know and you me if you find out please, thx.
I read that a Class 6 memory card can help with strobing aswell so I will look into that too.

Ya very good man and no issue with the Mrs if it breaks compared to using the expensive HD camera, :lol: .

Here's a pic of my Rustler guys:

I really like that body and wheel combo thehuntingterminator. Looks more Monster Truck than Stadium Truck.

Have you guys seen the new radio from HobbyKing? Does anyone know if the HobbyKing mini receivers will fit in the Traxxas sealed receiver boxes?

thanks, the tires/wheels are off an old Stampede before they went to Talons.

I been looking for that body but clear.  Mine is almost in two pieces using electrical tape to keep it together.  I have other bodies bot like the classic body.  Would the dye work on the lexan body?

I also just ordered the T-bone set yesterday.  Seen it on your rustler Stryker, and fell in love with the look.

thehuntingterminator

yeah my body is cracked too, i really want a chrome roll cage.

Aljo

Ya I order alot from Hobby King but was not a fan of the look of that control over the equivelent of the FS http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.htmlit is basically the same controller with a totally different look I bought mine off ebay store $50 with delivery to Australia you should be able to find it cheaper. The receivers are tiny really tiny they will fit any where I would say.

Stryker USMC

I would LOVE to have the FS-GT3B but it is out of stock everywhere I've looked.

Aljo

Right! Wow they been bought up quick I got mine from Hong Kong anyways but still cheapest to my mailing address is $63.99 delivered and I bought mine $50 delivered.
It is such a good looking Tx I can't wait.

thehuntingterminator

i got my 2.4ghz system today and got my Rustler running, now all i need is a cheap brushless setup.

Stryker USMC

Forgive me if you mentioned it already, but what 2.4 system did you wind up getting?

thehuntingterminator

this one: www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt2-blue.html. its gonna take some getting used to, but o well. it was a great deal and my first 2.4ghz system, so i'm happy. the range with this thing is awesome, and the part where i don't have to worry about binding at the track is even better. i'll get my Bandit VXL running tomorrow and put the extra receiver i bought in it and see how it works!

Another project finally done. Stretch Rustler or lowered Slash? Installed the Slash LCG kit from ST Racing concepts. RPM arms, caster blocks, bearing carriers, and shock towers. Traxxas red alum turnbuckles and toe links. Velineon brushless, not yet installed. STRC 17mm wheel adapters, and Momentum 1/8 buggy wheels/tires. Wing is Pro-line 1/8 high downforce, mounted with HPI Hellfire wing mounts. Body is Pro-line 1/8 buggy for the Kyosho MP 777 (this was all from a Backslash project i did earlier from URC.com). Still working on a forward body mount. New body is coming soon. Enjoy!
