You can get the Swami Bar at the Official Swami Site
That's a good pinion to go with. You could probably stick with the 86 tooth spur if you want it more geared down. CC actually recommends larger spur gears.
I believe that is the correct idler gear. I got the VXL, so I haven't had to replace any internal gears yet.
AS FOR THE LOSI Adam Drake 2 SHOCKS>>>>
I put them on last night and I am slightly dissapointed. They are excellent quality, but not a straight fit for the rustler. The included springs are way too short for the rear, so I had to stick my blue T-maxx springs on them. I put the red springs on the shorter front shocks. The rear shocks are too short, so you have to move the bottom mount in several holes towards the body which gives you a more vertical position.
Also, I had to try out multiple screws to mount them. The original screw that was already on the truck won't fit through the ball on the bottom of the shocks. This could be remedied (i think) by using the bottoms off the original shocks. Also the top mount hole is too big for the stock screw. I used some longer screws and the included grey bushings to mount the tops. The front bottom mounts need a wider ball joint to fit the space, so I just put the stock ball in, but the shock is kinda loose on it.
Overall suspension still seems very soft even with the T-max springs on, not sure how good they will be for bashing. Our RC club is supposed to be doing a demo at an upcomming city festival so I'm going to stick the street tires back on and see how it handles. I'll follow up with more including pics later.
