Status: offline 		Not bad looking, I'm betting that lost quite a bit of weight for the ol' rusty.

Let us know how it holds up. If you have any trouble, check out the links posted earlier in the conversation, they show some nice methods for lightening the rusty while leaving it pretty well structurally intact.

I think it is very strong chassis!
It has almost zero flex.
It is like a stampede chassis,but stronger.IMHO!
I have drove it hard and put it up wet and it still begs for more.

Status: offline 		I was messing around with my Rustler a while back to try and improve it. I added titanium turnbuckles, stainless steel hinge pins, graphite tie bar, CVD's, Losi LXT graphite A-arms (Wide Pede Conversion), ultralight dish wheels and Proline tires.

I also moved the reciever and ESC as far foward on the chassis as possible to help with the on throttle pushing issue. I used Losi springs all the way around it. I had alot more planned, but I just never got around to it. Hows yours coming along?

Status: offline 		with the posts on the bottom of this page...it looks like bedtime for the CHILDREN.
i highly doubt the rigidity of those cut chassis'. maybe it doesnt flex too much for bashing, but performance concrete racing.....
and just for the record, i saw my name in a quote..trust me, i atleast can spell weak instead of week.
