barefootdan

so pede kid got any suggestions?

pede_187

Not really. It does look sweet though. With I could get all that stuff.

shock towers dont usualy break on rustler, insteat of the traxxas wheelie bar, get a swami-bar, they are the best u can get

u should make a roll cage

fatkidjoey

dont get the traxxas wheely bar i have broke 2 allready , get the swami bar

it cost about 2x as much but wont have to buy anymore

I have a swami-bar, I love it! A roll cage would make it a real tank.

not a tank i mean like i want it as tough as a tank

brushlessboy16

ehh make a servo controlled turret, put like a airsoft mahine gun on it...

You also cant forget 4wd.

barefootdan

is aluminum better than the rpm?
cuz u can get aluminum shocktowers and bumbers and chassis
made by Integy i think

hands without shadows

Things that are prone to impact like a arms, wheely bars, c hubs, and bumpers are best left plastic. Aluminum is great for things like transmission cases, bulkheads, tie rods, shock towers, ect.

Then you mean "figuratively" not "literally". To *literally* turn your Rustler into a tank would mean adding treads, a gun turret, some armor, etc.

j.m.

a roll cage would be a great idea to toughen your truck up. It will stiffen the chassis, and make it impervious to crashes.

There was a company that made a very nice carbon fiber/metal roll cage for the Pede but I think its discontinued now.

j.m.

i thought there was one from Rc Solutions, but i guess not. They make the best ones out there.

which is better???

brushlessboy16

neither integy parts have no stuctural integrity at all, your better off sticking to the stock plastic peice becuz it will flex when impacted instead of breaking.

barefootdan
