whats up everyone, im back..... i drove straight through from tampa to long island.....no sleep.....craziness I tell ya...... took me 20 hours. Anyways, im almost settled in at my house and just tryin to get used to the cold. I took my truck out yesturday and I do have to say its going to be hard to get used to how different it drives on cold ground. All it does is spin around if i hit the gas hard. Anyways, just wanted to pop back in and let ya know im alive...... hope everyone has been havin fun!!!!

Well daywalker121800, God bless you for making it safely.

Hay, ekimusman2 this is just my opinion but, you need to clean you truck more often, though it really looks nice.

Hi broken rusty I am not sure if it would work, but here is the only ESC fan I can think of.

Daywalker, where were you on long island on sunday, yesterday because VXL ENCHILADA {rustler freak} thinks he might have saw you.

DrDaywalker

might have saw me where? I did go to an apple bank around midnight or so and was drivin the truck with a couple buddies. Its on vets highway in bohemia.

Also, I got a gas rustler now too..... the motor is gone.... locked up....anyone got a motor they are willing to part with really cheap? Maybe somthing laying around you dont care about? lol Just reachin here..... im just tryin to make this whole moving to New York thing work and I dont wanna spend the savings on new stuff.... I almost bought a tv for 700 today and had to use every bit of will power I could muster up just to leave the store....lol But I finally got my comp hooked up so Ill be able to post more often now instead of doing it on my phone.

VXL ENCHILADA

lol that is good... i didn't know you had been posting on your phone!

VXL ENCHILADA

lol listen to the guy who is trying to get some marketing [8D] (maybe)

bulldawg rc

the proof is in the pudding, these batteries are great. i have been in rc for approx 20 years and actually i currently don't carry these 3S batteries. was just giving an honest opinion.

elpurete

hey guys... greetings from south america... i allmost spend all of my free time reading everywhere... LOL...
i'll have a brand new rustler in a week... so i'll be posting on more often... you have being the most helpfull... and i havent make any friends around here...
so daywalker121800 i'm planning to go to new york in july... is there any rc track around? i'll be in astoria... for 2 weeks i think...

DrDaywalker

ive only been to one track and it was the last time I was up here....its out on Long Island....im not quite sure where astoria is though. The track is Called Long Island raceway i think...... ask the bayport bashers though....they have lived here a lot longer

warheadforever

Hello, elpurete glad to see you to getting addicted to the fast, agile, strong, and reliable Rustler! So, what version are you getting? The XL-5 or the VXL?

I am sure you have already got this, but WELCOME to the forms!

Please specify who has been the most help helpful.


I hope I am not being nosy but, what battery and charger are you getting.

elpurete

daywalker121800: queens / astoria ... Long island... i think i know some bashers around there... i'll email them... maybe we can arranger some reunion LOL!!!

warheadforever: how are you... thanks!!! second time welcome... LOL... i hope the rustler is all your saying because we dont have a lot of hobby shops around here... i know one but only old stuff.. and some nitro kyoshos or something like that... took me a long time to decide what to get... that was the first help i got from here... to know what to get... well this is what i got...
1 Rustler VXL RTR... 9 Tenergy Propel 4500... (hope this are better than the rest... ) and a smart charger for them... but i think i have made a mistake whit the charger... it will only charge them at 1.8amps... and on the AllBattery.com site they say to charge them at 6amps.. Anyone know if this charger will just take longer to charge these tenergy or it will perform less than espected.. or i definitely need another charger? so maybe i'll have to buy some other charger... like the hyperion 5iDP on 80 or 90$ range... or some other... it would be nice if it has a 9 cell capability and lipo... this hyperion charges lipo but needs a balancer that is not too expensive...(for near future uses)
so in two weeks i'll be ordering some other parts for the rustler... i have read that rpm parts are the best cost/benefits... i just read great reviews on them... so i need a small list to make my rustler better ... so I NEED HELP!!!

1- the batteries... they are very new (propel ones) so i'll test them and see how they perform... i'll post a review on them
2- CHARGER... this one[link=http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1351]Battery charger[/link]
-is it good to charge them at low rate? better performance at hight rates? more life on batteries charging them at low rates?

THANKS to all... in advance... is hard for me to return to this hobby because the lack of LHS around...

VXL ENCHILADA

Well i can tell you one thing... the RPM parts are very reliable, and durable, aswell as well made. I would definatly reccomend them. Especially the RPM Wide Front Bumper. Also, he was talking about us bayport bashers anyways about tracks on long island, in coram, there is south shore hobbies and raceway, and in farmingdale ( I believe) there is a track called Long Island Raceway as mentioned by daywalker. Other than that, there are not many others.. or maybe none at all that are very close in this area. Good Luck with your new truck! Rustlers are AWESOME. Agile little monsters with tough as nails duarability. Hope You have fun,


VXL ENCHILADA

VXL ENCHILADA :
Thanks for the response... i'll try to get to one of those tracks... and it seems that you have a VXL.. so what kind of battery and charger do you have?

VXL ENCHILADA

Well, believe it or not, i still run my crappy 6 cell racers edge batteries with a umm... im not sure brand charger. This was my original setup and it is 2 years old. So i will be upgrading soon. If u have the money to spend i would reccomend the ener-g 7 cell packs over those tenergy's any day. Not to say the Tengery's are horrible, i would just get Ener-g cells. Those are the cells i will be getting too due to thier very good reviews. You should look into them.


Good Luck,
VXL ENCHILADA

elpurete

VXL ENCHILADA :

Well they already are in their way to me... one more week... so a can't do nothing about it... so i've read that those propel ones really performe a lot diferent than the rest of the other tenergys so i'll try them to see what happends... so maybe whit more cells... like an 8 or 9 pack SXS... will perform better than those 7cell ener-g's... just thinking of it.... ener-gs have great reviews thought... i think they will be my second pack... not shure about only 7 cell... (in search of tru power...) ... so boomboom batteries here i come... but first my rmp parts....

I'll let everybody know about these propel ones...

PEACE!!!
