Status: offline 		Well now with a good sale going on...I can get the Rustler VXL for $289.99....including battery, charger and transmitter...with shipping and a $10 gift cert.  Is that a good deal?

Also what do you think I should add onto that in terms of batteries...charger...parts?  I plan on using NiMh for now...or are 2S lipos's the way to go.....I'm half afraid of destroying it with LiPo power though.  It's been 20+ yrs since I had an RC Car and this has a lot more power than my buggy did.

GH aluminum tranny is less than $30 shipped and it was great. I even reviewed it: http://www.modelkits.com/radio-controlled-kits/golden-horizon-aluminum-transmission-casing-for-traxxas-2wd-vehicles-review.html

Yeah I wasn't crazy about the arm mounts being separate pieces of machinery either, but I had no trouble with them. As long as you loctite them and tighten them down really well, they shouldn't be a probably (or at least weren't for me). I'm pretty sure even the FLM case has this same deal where the a-arm mounts are separate pieces, so I see no reason to buy it (which cost easily $50 more) over the Golden Horizon one which worked fine for me.

I don't know what the best thread lock is. I just use whatever I can get cheapest off ebay when I run out. I'm sure that they're all pretty similar so it shouldn't matter all that much.

Status: offline 		if you use the thread lock use the blue one not red BLUE cause if you use red you'll never get it apart again. and as for axles I have the chassis from way back when where it was the black one and i still have those axles on mine and im running a 4300 kv motor in mine and no problems. Ive ripped apart the axles on my t-maxx that i made brushless first so just leave them and replace them once you break them
