does anyone know if you can put a jato tranny in a rustler mine is super fast and super upgraded allready but need second gear also highly recomend the cvec pipe for the 2.5 sounds so mean and makes it even faster

just get a OS 18 tm and use robinson racing very tall gears.

Dann

Ok as for the stampead, yes it can be made into a rusty, there are only a few differences between the two trucks, the gearing is the main change (other than the tires of corse) youll need a different spur gear and pinion gear to keep the speed up with the smaller tires, check the stock shock towers im not shure if they are any different. I think thats all for the stampead.

As for the jato tranny, no it cant be done, this was brought up in another form of another site and you cant mount it without either using the jato chassie, (if that is done you might as well call it a jato) or creating your own custom chasssie and drilling your own holes. THe tranny is just too big, the rusty tranny is already large enoufgh and cramed into the small space that traxxas left for it. I think that there is somwhere you can get a 2 speed for the rusty, look on tower,

hope this helps you guys

hey dan where you talking to me??

so does anyone know of a 2speed for the rustler????????
also what do you think of the stinger pipes for the rusty, or which pipe would you recommend for the 2.5r

nuh i was talking to the guy who wants the jato 2 speed the only way to make a single speed as fast as a 2 speed is with loads more torque and taller gearing.

Dann

upgrade your engine/gearing and your rusty wil be faster than the jato, but if you put your mind to it you can put the jato tranny into the rusty, some mods are involved that your oing to have to figure out, because no one i know of has done it yet, im planning on doing it as soon as i figure out how to mount everything

Someone is selling me a three year old Rustler...the old one with the 1.8 or 1.5 engine...its not the new one with the 2.5. How much is it worth? or is it even worth buying.

Check the RCU Book Market Values. I found numerous sales regarding the Traxxas Rustler Nitro RTR.

Im getting this 3 year old rustler used for $160 shiped with some extras....Should i jump on this deal?

If anyone is interested here is my truck on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Traxxas-Nitro-Ru...QQcmdZViewItem

putting that link up is against both RCU and Ebay rules

Dann

you mean trx pro.15, its good engine if you take car of it, mine has about 9 gallons through it, its 5 years old, the whole truck is 5 years old, and stilll running like new

um.......no its not, if it helps a perosn out then you can do that,and dam you have like 300 somtin posts in 2 months, even less

which link are you talking about because i was talking about the ebay auction link not the price guide?

Dann

I'm going to have to risk looking like a fool 6 pages in jumpin in this conversation here, but hey i have a nitro rustler! hahaha i'm very happy with it but i don't see this "uber torque" i hear from everyone, maybe just in grass. I'll put a video together soon... well maybe not, next spring latest, cause i still haven't gotten help with my wheels dilemma and it sits with 3 tires on my dining room floor. I'm going to bump the thread can i get some more help there?

is at a 2.5 rusty or a pro 15, coz the 2.5 has plenty of torque? if you read up on a clutch tuning artical and lighten the clutch shoes and then take it to the tar it will definately show you torque

Dann

yeah it's a brand new model with the aluminum and the trx 2.5. And that mechanical thing? i don't know how to do that... at all... hahaha.

hey im back so what have u guys talked about so far on the rusty??

my 2.5 just blew up so i need a new motor now. ne suggestions on a good 1 cause i deffinatly don't want the 2.5 again

im proably gonna put the dynamite mach .15 in it. its really cheap and im told its a good motor plus it comes stock in the xxx nt so it must be half decent

Good engines from what i have seen, I saw one of their .12s in action and it would have stomped my .15, Iv heard some people questioning their reliability but i cant say anything about that, iv never had one myself.

how fast does a rusty go out of the box?

dude seriusly stop puttin the same post on diffrent topics!!!! but about 50 mph!!! i know that u have a topic that u made for the rusty now keep it there!!! but srry to be so harsh!!! but i mean it!!!
