Good Rustler hopups

[RustlerBoy]

I already have bearings, an ESC, and the RPM gear cover. I am planning on getting Lunsford turnbuckles, RPM Clawz wheels, Dirt Hawg tires, and MIP CVD's, my ESC can handle 17 turn motor, and i want to get the RPM Rustler Bearing carriers so I can upgrade to 5x11MM bearings. WEhat should i get to make my car last longer, look cooler, and be stronger and go faster? Also, what else do I need ion my workshop?(eg soldering Iron, XACTO knife set's etc.) Thanks for al your help guys

IF you reaaaallly want your rustler to go better/sound better, get the machined gears, I have em, they maek your car accelarate faster, and glide smoother when off the gas, i also suggest getting CVD's for it, lot less slop, and the bearing carriers are AWESOME!! i have them also, i have a mega pimped rustler

[RC X2000]

Yes XXXER Mega Pimped, lol see ya at the chat XXXER!

[greg_in_michigan]

actually, i have the meag pimped rustler.

mine has mip shiny cvd's, trinity p2k pro and speed gems 2 garnet motor, trinity 2400 batts, rpm gear cover, slipper clutch, rpm bearing carriers, proline meats, proline chevy silverado body, novak fusion esc (i might buy a dually) proline agitator chrome rims, soon to hopefully have titanium turnbuckeles, losi springs, and shock oil, traxxas big bores on all four paws, i might get the rpm big front bumper too cuz my bumper is kind of breaking.

i also use a dynamite charger, and i have like $1200 into this thing.

I have trinity 2400 batts, and I have the P2K pro also, i just don't have the CVD's, i personally put in too much $, but not that much!

[RustlerBoy]

Ok, well, I plan on putting CVD's, RPM bearing carrries and bumper and CLAWZ rims and Lunsford turnbuckles and Proline meats. Everything else is is stock except for the XL1 ESC(17 turn limit)I need to know what else to buy

[elscotto80]

if you really want to go faster and have insane acceleration go nito. why waste your money on electrics when you could get a truck that goes 40 and has no run time limit? just my 2 cents

[electroman]

i have a stock rustler and i wil be geting bearings soon

[R_C_MAN]

get a slipper clutch. If you want your ride stronger and easier on the eye check out the GPM aluminum parts at www.gpmracing.com (http://www.gpmracing.com)

[RustlerBoy]

Well, I already have a slipper clutch. What else do I need? I know I am getting Clawz rims and Proline meats. I have bearings to. What else do I need???

[R_C_MAN]

Get a tie bar(graphite or fiberglass?) and the 44mm suspension pins. Look at the back of your manual for more info or call Traxxas at 1-800-323-0069.

[RustlerBoy]

WEhat about the Trintiy aluminum tiebar? I think it would look cool and add alot of strength. Also, what about Traxxas Big Bore aluminum shocks?

[R_C_MAN]

Does Trinity make an aluminum tie bar for the rustler?? If so then does anyone the price?

[RustlerBoy]

Yes, is is 10.19 and it comes with the hinge pins. Go to http://www.towerhobbies.com and where it says "Find it in a Flash, type

LXJV61

Also, what are some op ups I should get besides the ones I have listed and tools I should get besides a soldering iron and bearing cleaner??
