I have a Nitro Rustler and Drake, The nitro ruster constantly broke rear shock towers, and rear pivot blocks, it was also hard to start.

well i might as well join. ive had no problems with 2 nitro rustlers. yes the shock towers are weak but every truck has its weak points. thats why you get aluminum. i had absolutely no problem starting them up.

I have a Nitro Rustler as well, but there is NO WAY I'd put a super charger on it. I'll tell you why...Think about what a super charger does. It jams more "air" into the motor which will cause it to lean out. Of course you can richen it up some to compensate for that but then low and mid throttle won't be that great. My buddy and I played with a SC and we had more headaches then anything. There neat, fun, but not worth it.

If you want to go fast with your Rustler put a 72 tooth spur gear in and 3.3...OOOHHHH MAN!!!! Can you say 60mph!!!......or close to it
