RE: Official Rustler Thread

Hey guys! Man those two FLM Rusty's look awesome. I really like the blue but it'd suck to scratch all that anodizing off.

Not as big of difference as between Nimh and Lipo..

RE: Official Rustler Thread

Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I haven't figured it out yet, so maybe someone can shed some light on it.

What is the difference between a Rustler and a Rustler Roller??

RE: Official Rustler Thread

I doubt that... you can tighten into the plastic pretty hard before they strip. Either they were already stripped, they got stripped in a wreck, or you over did it... the plastic they use is...

RE: Official Rustler Thread

I didn't get my tires off the ground until I went to Lithium batteries. NiMh just can't push the high amperage that the motor and esc can use (~60A), Lithium can!

What do you mean "what tires"? Didn't the pic show up in my last post? I can see it... it's also linked to the Tower Hobbies page for those tires.

Here a link to Tower Hobbies list of 1/10...

Man... I dare say these tires might be better than the mashers!

Tower Hobbies has CRAPLOADS of tires and rims to choose from!

RE: Official Rustler Thread

Can you change the LVC voltage setting?? You're probably hitting the limit when you accelerate. High amp pull will cause a voltage drop, you could probably turn the voltage setting down by a few...

RE: Official Rustler Thread

On my mashers they are interchangeable, yes. I've actually wanted to put the talons on backwards just for the hell of it. Probably look funny and handle weird..??

RE: Official Rustler Thread

I bought my set lightly used on ebay for about $30, not sure what the brand is on the rims. I like them though cause they're the deep dish kind that actually widen your wheelbase.

Look at the...

RE: Official Rustler Thread

Bigger tires do the same thing as adding a few teeth to your pinion. It changes your effective gear ratio, so if you want the same gearing as with the smaller stock sized tires then you need to gear...

I also had this problem, and my dremel was also my answer. I put a small rounded metal grinding tip on it and just ground right down on top of the set screw till it was gone. Pain in the butt, but...

RE: Official Rustler Thread

If you're stripping gears, you probably don't have your mesh set right or maybe your main bearing to the spur is worn out. If the gears are properly meshed, you'd be more likely to snap an axle yoke...

@Joe

The black chassis tells me that your rustler is old. They haven't made the black chassis for a few years I believe. That doesn't mean it's bad as long as it's been taken care of. Of...

RE: Official Rustler Thread

Look for a used VXL. You'll probably want to upgrade to brushless after a short time. If you find one used either here or on eBay, you'll save a lot of time and money from upgrades.

Tower Hobbies, ebay or any other hobby supply place.

You can get them in silver, red or blue. I got the blue integy one's and returned them cause the ball joints were too tight.
