Wow they made them back then? The new power plan in the new xl-5 with a 550 motor and xl-5 speed control works pretty good especially on a 7 cell battery

Rare

I thought the rustler didnt debut till 95? You need to post some pics!!!

Dudelive

Rare you are very close, came out in '94 and sold lots of places probably '95:

The rustler and stampede both came to be at the same time.

Post pictures with and without body if possible as Rare mentioned.

Rare

It could be a blue eagle maybe or maybe it is a rustler but he got the years mixed up eh?

any 19-27 turn motor would be fine the trinty speedgems and reedy pulse or quad motors are great
and will work awsome with the msc that it has now


if u want super speed go with a good esc like the duratrax 8t and get a good trinity 11-12 turn motor

C-Fraser..::HPI::..

Well its 4 my buddy im getting him to pay 4 everthing soo it up to him how hop-up he wants it but i was lookin at some trinity motors wat would u recomened soo i can keep the msc soo it doesnt cost him $$ cause it soo old and all

hunter306

Stick with a stock type motor if you are planning on using that MSC. Probably 27t Cobalt or something if you want it to be an ok runner.

You could also just get a Traxxas Stinger from Towerhobbies... lol, but that isn't going to prove much better than what is already there.

Yub, yub, cmdr!

HAHAHA Traxxas hasn't changed anything now has it.... even the body on the XL5s are the same... hahahahahahahahaha I think the old Traxxas Tx looks better than the one they have now :-P

C-Fraser..::HPI::..

To be honest i dont care wat get put in it lol i got my Savy X and a nitro mt2 on the way soo ya lol but i think ill try to talk him into spending like a bill or bill 50 on and motor and esc but we will c and i want this body 4 my savy its a kill body lol

Dudelive

If the MSC works ok just get a stock 27t pro motor as in the green machine pro, it will be lot better than the stock motor and won't cost all that much.

Rare

They stick to what works.

ford f150

will see/..

C-Fraser..::HPI::..

wats a better idea any replies would be awsome
I wanna get the komodo Dragon 19T spec with the novak xrs sport w/reverse
OR
Keep the Stock MSC from the 1994 rustler and put in a Co27 Monster stock motor???
thanxs

Rare

C-Fraser..::HPI::..

Rare

Are you testing the truck in the air or on the ground?

C-Fraser..::HPI::..

Wat Do u mean...I said i drive it and u need to have 4 wheels on the ground to drive lol
(((unless jumping,or wheelies)))
