RE: Official Rustler Thread
I have not broke any drive train components, but I do have screws coming loose a lot. Mostly the back A-arm screw that attaches it to the tranny. Luckily the motor stops it from coming out completely, but I have to tighten it every time I take out the truck.

RE: Official Rustler Thread
yeah i have the same problem. i think that i can continue to pour money into this thing but in the end i'm just putting band aids on something that requires stitches. i think i may buy an Ofna onroad car next as i've heard they're much better quality.

THT: 1) Is your slipper set too tight? 2) Have you upgraded to the rear Slash4x4 driveshafts?

RE: Official Rustler Thread
NICE write up !
One thing I have experianced in the one I have in my T4 is to take off the end plate where the wires go in and put some silicone sealer there, there was enough space for small dirt and gravel to get in the motor housing, other then that a GREAT little motor.

RE: Official Rustler Thread
Had a little incident yesterday with my new Raptor body. The front left body post came loose and the body ended up tearing. I used some duct tape to hold it for now, but I plan to get a HPI Silverado body soon:
Also, the screw came loose on the right rear camber link:
Running on gravel seems to be really rough on my Rustler, but I dont have many other places to run that are close by.
