will converting to bearings really make it faster?
Not by much, but your driveline will be smoother and you will eliminate axle wobble.

It will make the wheels roll more smoother and create less friction.

I don't really know what the turns mean. But, basically I want my truck to Fly down the road, I don't take it off road unless it's hard-packed dirt. I don't really want reverse, just a brake.

Get the sphere/neo 3-star I known its expensive but think of the cost of a new esc,motor,and lathe! their about the same price (with in 20-30 bucks and the neo has less matinence)and the neo will be great if you do ever go off road.

that's actually pretty good for stock. And the ramp is straight, not curved, which when it's curved it gives it launch.

I bet if i launched my mini I would go twice as far lol, but its not your fault, the rustler is a brick, which can be good and bad, depeding on the situation.

you guys, It was just a joke, I wasn't really serious about the air thing, I just figured I would post some pics and make it funny. I'm definetly not a Newbie. I'm 26 years old and have had real r/c cars for a long ass time. I used to race nitro, but i got sick of it and switched to boats and electrics.

Your not a Newbie....

For more speed, do I want more teeth or less teeth on a spur gear?
will converting to bearings really make it faster?
I don't really know what the turns mean.
How do I clean the brushes? Is the stock stinger motor brushed?
Not to be a jerk, but I beg to differ.....
