I expect RPM stuff will be stout regardless and again just having 3 degrees of toe will help in the traction dept as the stock Rustler has zero.

Sucks you feel that way, most users here seem to be ok and can appreciate most cars. For whatever reason Traxxas has become the whipping boy for RC, pretty sad when some think Redcat, Hpi, Associated or others do a better job promoting or bringing fresh blood to the hobby.

I can understand that.... This thread for example.

I was really proud of the nitro rustler castor block pin mod.. But no one cares lol.

hows, funny enough I got the RPM gearbox for the extra weight... When I was running a stock slash I had 60g under the ESC and loved it. It was a massive difference.... Brb someone is here

As far as offloading I don't think much can match its ability to handle ruff terrain.

We'll it's been a while since my last post, but that's because everything is working nicely.... Well until the other day.
one of the screws fell out of the top shock mount and lost the bush for the losi shocks...

so I ordered some new bushes.... And this time I've bolted them with nyloc nuts.....I've been planing to do it for years... Well now its finally done
