Default my first mod to my rustler vxl!

my brother said that they make skid plates for rustlers, but they dont, (i researched but correct me if I'm wrong) so i made one where the middle is where the indent all scratchy i accidentally peeled it instead of cutting it

I'm not shure what this material is, i will ask my dad, but all i know is that if i inhale this stuff its not good (un healthy), i cut the material with siccors

maybe i gave others ideas of their future rustler mods

sorry for the horrible resolution

Is the "White Part" a plastic, wood-like substance?

Someone needs to make a Rustler shield. Something thats cheap that will cover the entire bottom of the truck. When It's scratched up, you just buy a new one instead of a new tranny... I would buy one.

I wouldn't waste your time with paint. In a few runs it will look bad, once it gets scratched up...

It looks very good. If you found some way to mass produce them, I would buy one.

but it will have all black marks on it and that cuz i shoot hockeu pucks off this material and the stick's tape and puck makes a lot of black marks, im going to try to clean mine as much as i can

and it will be tested on my rustler so it will be a direct fit on urs

any ideas of another mod any1?

Well, how it holds up I guess. How it's functionality is, and how much you like it.

I would like to drive in snow. The problem down here is that all of the open lots we once had now have kids playing in them. They all got built on, not much more area to bash besides your front lawn anymore.
