RE: TANK!!!
 

The link for the shock towers didn't work (take away the () )

RE: TANK!!!
 

lol can't wait to see that

RE: TANK!!!
 

so pede kid got any suggestions?

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

You also cant forget 4wd.;)

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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.

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

RE: TANK!!!
 

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

which is better???

RE: TANK!!!
 

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.

RE: TANK!!!
