so i want to upgrade my old Rustler. This truck is over 10 years old and losing it's pep a bit. i was thinking about getting an XL-5 ESC and maybe a Titan 550 12T motor. my question is what else would i need? this truck does not have a slipper clutch (yes it's that old) would i need one? also what kind of gearing changes would i need to do? i believe it has an 18 tooth pinion and a 32pitch 72 tooth spur. would i also need to upgrade the tranny with all steel gears? i was wanting to convert it to brushless but i did the math and it would be better to just buy the brushless version of this truck. i don't want to dump a ton of money in it just update it some.
any help is greatly appreciated.
