RE: Excess Neg. Heat

Tires are stock 2.4's that shipped with the Rusty. Gearing is 23-76 (a little long) and run mostly on asphalt. I don't think gearing is the prob cause the engine itself is not getting hot, just the...

RE: Just got my new Rustler Xl5

A Rustler running an 8-cell! I thought (at least according to the Traxxas Manual) that the ESC could only handle 8.4 Volts (7-cell). The Rusty is fast with 7-cells, so I can only imagine what it will...

Evader Diff Upgrade

Can anyone suggest an upgrade for my Evader Diff Gear? Since installing a Mamba Max Brushless motor I have sheared two diff gears. Does anyone know of any tougher diff ears that will fit my Evader???
