Default Rustler VXL Dragster

A bit funky, but fun none the less

Last I checked it did about 68 mph on 3s, gearing is pretty low to accommodate for the large tires but I should be able to milk a bit more out of it.

Hop ups are from FLM, RPM, and shocks from Integy. Since it's just for on road use the shocks are of high enough quality, they do look nice though .

That looks sweet wonder if you can find some skinnier tires and rims for the front it would look cool and I believe improve your line.

Yeah, I may have some skinnier buggy tires I can throw on there.

And with the body - Still haven't finalized where I want the mounts though so this is just a mock up.

Did you part this together or did it start as a regular rustler? There doesn't look like much stock left on there other than the VXL.

It started it's life as a normal Rustler VXL.

Yeah, Ideally I'd have an extended chassis but oh well. It's fast and it runs
