i herd some talk about one of these coming out... the rush evo with the 18ss motor.any one got any liinks or info?

I dunno, but IMO not worth the bucks they'd ask for it unless they had dual bellcrank steering and stronger suspension arms.
the transmission *should* be tough enough to handle the .18

I think it is a very good choice!!!!!! Have not seen one and hope they do make it.

again, if it has bellcranks and tougher suspension arms.
the truck would be GREAT if it weren't for those weak-arse suspension arms and lack of bellcranks IMHO.

I put Alloy arms on the rear of mine and I have never had a problem with it. The ones on the front sill are stock. My Rush is one of the first and other then the chassis HPI replaced it has been a good truck. I have run about 3 gallons throw it.

well...i pound the hell outta things:P
but i know the stock arms on my GT took a lot more abuse than my Rush's did.
OH, and since i've had my Rush for about 4 years now, would they still upgrade the chassis?

Yes I just sent one back about 4 months ago. Go to there web site and they still have it listed they will. You will get the EVO black chassis with a new cast motor and trans plate. I beat mine pretty hard but maybe not as bad as you but we will never know. Since I have been running my MT I do not run my Rush near as much. I have a Savage SS 4.6 kit on the way.
