RE: traxxas nitro rustler mods
one thing i did to increase handling performance was a receiver pack relocation mod.
i removed the rec. pack and rear bumper. i turned my receiver sideways and made room for the rec. pack to sit in between the receiver and the front shock tower. took plenty weight off the back moved it forward but not to far. now it doesnt roll over on turning and wont wheelie easily. ill post pics if u want....

I just spent $30 getting RPM a-arms all around and RPM front wide bumper and i was good to go. As for speed, lower the spur gear and raise the clutch bell.
