Default stock traxxas rustler to a nitro rustler



I have a lot of old nitro parts from a previous truck and was thinking aboutconverting the rustler to nitro is it hard to do? And what should i do first?

If you are talking about converting an electric rustler to a nitro, sure it could be done, but may not be worth the effort... first off.. the electric rustler has a plastic chassis, not ideal for a nitro motor due to the heat.. Other than the body, they don't share any common parts that I know of.. You might be better off converting the old electric to brushless... Its much easier and has the potential to be fster than nitro... almost all the parts are the same except for the trans and bearings...

Pretty much the only parts that will transfer are the front end, and I think the rear suspension arms will work. I'm not 100% though
