  Not sure I can recommend this for ol' Rusty.  The issue is the trimming that you have to perform on the chassis to make it work.  It not only decreases the chassis stiffness in that area, but is likely to increase the stress concentration at the trim, promoting damage in the event of a crash (ask me how I know....)

The bellcrank with integrated servo saver is nice, but having your chassis crack not so much.   I've reinforced my (now cracked, thanks...) chassis with JB Weld fillets, will update here after I get some runtime.

Thats why I went with Proline's bell-crank with integrated servo saver made for the Rustler.   

Did a hard head on hit did  you porterdog?

Ya every TV generation has their mind numbing shows remember Tella Tubbies??   I do prefer my kids to watch something where the characters are speaking a proper language.

That sucks about the crack.... I want to see a head to head review of the Traxxas one i posted compared to the RPM one...
I can get 4 of those upgraded traxxas ones for the price of 1 proline bellcrank kit.
So in my mind the Proline one would have to be 4x better (well at least twice as good), to justify buying it

Bonk!   There's this park by my house, that has a paved area on which is painted I swear an oval track.  It's maybe 30'x70'?   Rusty was singing, until I slung him into one of the benches along the straights.  They're mounted on 2" steel pipe set into the pavement....

probably some type of foams (sorry i don't have a link). but any tires can be made not to balloon with some internal taping.
