I'm a rustler owner and new to the hobby. I hadn't seen that thread in the forum; then again i wasn't looking for it either. I'll check it out.
I've had mine for about 2 weeks and haven't run it too much. It's bone stock, but I just ordered a set of P/L Dirt Hawgs and am looking into RPM's carriers and bearings.
Any good links out there?

gunnut

Hey, welcome to RCU. Does your Rustler have an electronic speed control? If not I would definitely recommend getting one.
The RPM carriers can bearings you mentioned are a great upgrade. The RPM wide front bumper is a necessity (if you drive anything like I do, you'll need it ) I'll put some links to good upgrades below:

haldir and doahh....if you dont like the rustler stay out of Rustler posts.....geeee i wonder how hard that is?[&:]

Eugeit

Thanks for the info.
I like the bumper idea...although I probably don't drive like you...I'm worse!

Gunnut,
I've seen people saying the the Rustler and Stampede can be interchanged. I know that the chassis are different. What would be needed to raise a Rustler; shocks?, A-arms? Do you know?

Dont go there!!!!...its too slllllllooooooowwwww........go to the official thread in this forum...thats what im trying to get people to do

gunnut

I think the only thing needed is the main chassis. The entire front end and rear end are just attached and it's ready to go. I'm not sure though because I've never done it.
adjust the shock positions to get more ride height. having the bottom of the shock mounted on the innermost hole should raise it up. If the suspension seems to "sag" when you set it on the ground, clip some spring preload spacers onto the shock, right above the spring. preload spacers are black(plastic) "C-shaped" clips that have a little tab on them-- there are different thicknesses to choose from. there should be a bag with two sheets of them that came with your rustler. Those are the easiest ways to raise it and it doesn't cost you anything.
Taller tires may give you more ground clearance... but then you may need to adjust your gearing to keep from burning the motor/esc. adjusting gearing isn't really a big deal-- a pinion gear costs around $3.00 and they're easy to access on the truck.
