Default Goodies!

Friend of mine recently bought this Rustler VXL but decided not to keep it, he sold it to me for $125 . So obviously I had to go to the LHS and buy some goodies for it before even opening it. I have a juicy 3s Lipo just waiting for this truck. It's like Christmas in January

Wow... You basically paid $125 for the VXL system and got the complete rolling chassis with electronics for free. Nice score! With that 3S, you will be needing those RPM parts!

Lol this thing is stupid fast. Haven't even changed the gearing to 31/76 yet and it's insane .

Handles like crap, but after all it's a Rustler. Should be fun for high speed runs though. Gonna install a wheelie bar, drag tires, and a nice wing [&:]

I think it should jump fine, I'm just interested in high speed runs though.

Neither right now, I may pick up a radar gun.

EDIT: I just remembered, I do have a GPS unit I use to clock my gas boats, but it's pretty large. I'll check it out though.
