RE: Official Rustler Thread
O.K. Guys I need some helpful advice. I ran the rusty all day today, and I broke 1 output yoke/ 2 stub axles/ and lost half of the slider(when the yoke broke). So how can I make the yokes and stub axles stronger?

I didn't break the axle, it got lost when the yoke snaped and the top half of the axle shaft went fling.
Also I just put a mip cvd kit, caster blocks, and some new king pins in the cart at tower So basically I went through 45 dollars of parts bashing today![:@]
P.S. I did manage to do a awsome backflip/360 off a tree stump!

RE: Official Rustler Thread
Has anyone had experience with the fastlane machine caster blocks? I'm thinking of getting them because I hear of people breaking allot of them on rustys so it might be worth the extra dough.

I'll buy the plastic ones for now because I'll have the money a week sooner and right after that I'll just buy the aluminum ones as back up. (The way I bash will be needed!)

RE: Official Rustler Thread
you could also just put red water ballons on the springs to make them look red.
1. Put the spring in a soda bottle.
2. Slip the ballon over the bottle lid.
3. Blow the ballon up by squezzing the bottle.
4. Flip the bottle over and let the spring slid in the ballon.
5. Let the ballon decompress.
6. Cut of the excess material.
7. Mount and you have some red shock socks!
