Hey all,
So I broke the stock springs on this truck after landing a pretty small jump. I'm looking to replace with better springs and hopefully upgrade some other plastic parts. I attached some pictures but the entire suspension is stock.

I've heard so much about how you need to have a healthy amount of plastic on an off road truck. I normally run this on a dirt track with a few small jumps. Can you recommend which parts I should upgrade to handle these jumps a little better, including your favorite springs? As you could see, I also race my cousins on road which is why I installed a wheelie bar so I'm interested in keeping some plastic so it's not too heavy. If you have links to the parts you recommend please post so I could buy right from your link.

Carabidae

I bought the Proline Powerstroke for my Firestorm. They are originally for the Slash, but they fit perfectly. they might work on the Rustler.

Hope they work for your application because they are worth every penny.
PS: i filled them with 35W shock oil and they perform well.
