Where is the best place to get those plugs. I was looking on tower but i really didn't see what i needed. I wasn't sure what exactly i needed to get started with deans.

RE: Official Rustler Thread
You guys are great!! I was on a drum forum for a while. I asked a question and they laughed at me. I was new to the brand, so I had some questions. That really ticked me off, cause i've been playing for a long time. I'm a professional damn it. You fellers are very helpful, and I appreciate it.
thank you,

RE: Official Rustler Thread
well on tower your looking for deans ultra plugs, if your making your own batteries you want to get a pack of deans female plugs(4 pack) youll also want to get some deans wet noodle wire if you havent already. get enough for your esc-motor, (and any other motors you have so that would be 1 male and 1(+) female so far, next youll want enough for your esc-battery(1 male for esc again and 1(+)female for battery)
that ok?
anyone hate it when they screw up? i caught one of my fiberglass cutting wheels on the edge of the ground as i went to pick it up and snap went my cutting wheel these things... well there goes 2 bucks....

RE: Official Rustler Thread
ok well got the body posts on and all and i got the holes drilled and OMG my stock rustler body sits INSANELY low in the front im talking the bumper is less than a cm abov the top of the bumper(the part that connects to the chassis that is) ill post some pics my parents have the digital cam. now i just need to figure out how to mount the shocks since home depot doesnt sell screws as small as are in the rusty(though the largest chassis mount screws i got 6 backups from home depot cause i stripped the head on some of mine....)

that sucks, try the Crowd Pleazer Body, it sits high on the rustler.... Maddrums, you can get deans at tower hobbies, your gonna want 2 packs of the DEANS ULTRA PLUGS (the set) that's $2.50 each and the Female bulk plack (4) for $4.00 I think... I think someone already said this [&:]

RE: Official Rustler Thread
Yeah thanks, I'm going to have to get a soldering iron now. I want to get a better motor anyway, and they usually don't come with connectors. When I get my ESC i'll have to figure out what motor suits me best. Is there a motor out there with really good torque, and top end? I like to have the best of both worlds. You know, like a hemi with roller rockers and nitrous

I'll check this week. We have a pole barn the next town over, where we used to build race cars. I'll see how thick it is, but I don't know if it is too flexible or not. If it will work i'll send you a peice.

A couple 1 horse towns, No big deal.[:-]
What are the demensions on your ultima? I've got someone looking for some right now if I have any, i'll have it tuesday. As far as I know you can only buy it in the big sheets. Unless you know someone who races. Maybe plexiglass at your local hardware store. Or you could get a whole sheet, cut a bunch out and sell it.

lol, i'll look into it. I wonder how good it would be to have a really flexible chassis, like a thin spring steel. Just a thought. Might be cool to have some bend to a crawler.

RE: Official Rustler Thread
naw, you want a rigid chassis with a lot of clearence.... if the chassis bends then it can kink it an risk messing up your suspension
