Mine were stock and so were my dads. A few pre-load spacers brings them right up though.

I have the largest ones in the rear plus one of the medium ones. I have one medium one in the front. You don't need to go outside to see, just pop one in and check the stiffness.

At most an hour and 10 minutes. Thats at 3a (max). Normally about an hour though.

I'll bite. I have three Rustlers and a graphite chassis 4-tec.









That's the Rustler I recieved for last Christmas and my 4-tec. One of the other Rustlers is completely stock, and bought for my dad, and the third is a [link=http://www.freewebs.com/projektrc/budgetbrushedbasher.htm]work in progress[/link].

They have lots of threads on it, you should check them out. Everyone that gets one seems to have a great time with it.

They were purchased slightly used for very cheap (along with two other pairs), but yes, I did wear them down quite a bit. Their lack of traction in dirt and grass (ironically) really got old so I switched back to Aliases.
