Brushless Rustler Upgrades
I have a traxxas rustler that I recently upgraded to a sidewinder sv2 castle 4600kv brushless system (probably didn't say that right).www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_221_911_1949/products_id/203798/n/Castle-Creations-Sidewinder-Sv2-1-10-12V-Sport-ESC-Motor-Combo-w-Neu-Castle-1406-4600kVI run it on a 8 cell 9.6 volt 4600 ma venom battery. I was wondering what upgrades to the chassis I'm going to want/need. I have an rpm front bumper, rpm suspension linkage, and i'm too lazy to check what else. If you could just rattle off some parts it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

RE: Brushless Rustler Upgrades
It's fine the way it is. Most upgrades are a result of replacing a broken part. The front bumper isn't a bad idea because it'll take the energy of a front impact instead of your chassis or front suspension. I've snapped the rear shock tower on my Stampede from jumping too hard so maybe RPM towers are worth looking into.

The rustler is a strong truck, only things I recomend is the traxxas steel idler gear and the metal out put yokes.
Next would be the steering servo, simply it sucks, there are more powerfull ones out there that are faster too, some are priority cheap too
U could do the rustler jengafiactaiton
