RE: Best durable bashing for a father and 6 year old, or best Slash build for them

I own a Rustler and it's well near bulletproof, only broken one stock plastic part (and a spur gear) in it's lifetime - several years. From what I've heard, the Slash is just as if not more durable....

RE: anything i can do to widen my rustler?

Yes, I understand that increasing the distance between the rear and front wheels makes steering much more 'fine tuned' - I'm just interested as to what exactly about a longer chassis makes a car...

RE: anything i can do to widen my rustler?

RE: trying to remove screw with stripped head

hahaha yes I was desperate... if you're really unlucky though you could end up supergluing the screw in even more which wouldn't exactly help

RE: Lipo pack sizes

You could try cut out the bit of plastic at the rear end of the battery tray, that would make some more room, but I'm not sure.

I would also appreciate advice on lipo packs for the rustler!

RE: Rustler XL-5 FAST!!!!! and long run time!!!

Glad to see you enjoying your rustler, I got one, recently upgraded to a mamba max, so much fun. However, the motor gets bloody hot, probably the lack of ball bearings that I'm going to get soon.
