Status: offline 		Both of you guys can simply re read back in this forum for all the things you have asked. I have personally given the info that you both have asked for, NO offense meant but it would save time if people did that for all parties involved. The poster wouldnt need to wait for A answer and the person answering wouldnt have to waste time doing it again. But anyway I will repost. The most things broken depend on your driving style and if you drive on dirt or pavement. But most of the time the first things to replace are the A-arms with rpm not aluminum. The rear shock tower with aluminum, as well as the front bulk head. The front tower can be done as well but rpm will work just fine there. The rear snaps evertime you flip it backwards or land upside down on A jump, so it really needs to be done! The next thing is the turn buckles, get aluminum here as well. Front and rear. Next would be the aluminum out drives as the plastic just break every once in A awhile. Do not!!!! I repeat do not get A metal spur gear!!!! You want the weakest part of your drivetrain to be the easiest and cheapest thing to fix right???? Well for the rusty that is the spur gear. The tranny is not the strongest thing in the rusty and will give out if to much power is applied or slipper not set up right. Other than that she is pretty much indestructable! lol I know I spelled that wrong! But she is fast, will fly perfectly in the air, parts A plenty, and cheap as all to fix! So have fun!!!! Next the body,, Well all truck and buggy and truggy bodies are different, so The best thing you can do is get the body you want and make the thing work, post extenders are dirt cheap so who really cares if you have to buy them, I like the venom series as well as the post I did before, but many on here love the desert rat look,,, you decide what you like, and read back through, I cant stress this enough, There are tons of links in here about all the bodys and weak points of the rusty, just respect our time enough to ask A new question, not one thats been answered over and over again. I was new I did it to, but then when I started reading , I found I could find the answer and not have to wait to get an answer from anyone! Well all you in the internet land have A great day!!! Good luck guys!

Status: offline 		yes sir but i won first in the main so its all good. man i love races in my backyard LOL made me about 18 dollars off bids lol but i was rapin those 2.5/.15 rustys and dominated the firestorm. only competition was my buddy reggies rc10gt or w/e its called the AE car.
but it turned out it was those sun adn planet gears i wish they made a hardened set of both. i would get the pro-ball but thats too much maintenance for me.

Status: offline 		The ball diffs are great but for the cost and like he said maintainaceissues they can be bothersome. I agree the search engine in this forum is great!!!!! LOL But back to the other thing, I wish they made the hardened gears as well, they stripped all the time in my rusty, everytime I turned around I was replacing them! Most of the time it's when you try and go to fast over jumps and stuff, the best thing I found to cut back on it doing that is to keep the spur gear kinda loose not so much as to slow the take off, but enough to lighten the load on the rear end. By the way I sure wish i had A track in my back yard! I completely envy you! Well have fun out there !

Status: offline 		Uh, you might be able to do that, But I highly recommend that you dont do it! I can actually mail you A rear that I locked that I have no use for... I sold my rusty so... But once installed you will up the breakage of your outdrives, as well as kill your turning ! Everytime you try and turn with the gas on, it will just go straight! But it is pretty cool for like rock crawling or muddin! Works so much better that way, I am 26 and own my house so I could build A track, but my love for my lawn and the air keep me from doing it. Well hope this helps, by the way, the thing most use in there diffs when locking, silly putty,,, or j-b weld. Not oil as it will just leak out. Ce ya

Status: offline 		Well Guys, My Rusy is gone. All my RC''s are gone. We got burglarized last night and they took them all. I am, to say the least, brokenhearted. Keep your eyes open on evilbay and craigs list for me. they will be out of the Seattle area. The T-maxx has a Nova head and high output exhaust. The engine that is in the Rusty in my pics. It will have either a brown Bronco, Green '50 Chevy panel or orange 64 Impala body. My phone # is 425-330-0001, if you see the Maxx call me. The Rusty was still dirty with no engine and a beat up sport body. The 4-Tec had a intrepid body, white and pink. But they took all my other bodies too. The other T-maxx was apart and they didn''t get the rear susp. I have to pay my verizon bill on Wednsday to get my puter back online. I''ll talk to you then. Later My Friends.

I dont know if you rent or are buying but when my car got broken into I used my renters insurance to pay for the stuff that was stolen.. maybe you have that? If not I know homeowners will pay as well. But then again I dont know your age so.... Well I really hope you are ok, it killed me when I saw my stuff stolen. Sorry man, they will get whats coming to them,, karma''s A ****!
