Rustler lipo

Quote

Post by GarnJim » Tue Dec 11, 2018 10:20 pm

Hi everybody,

I am new to the RC world. I just bought a Rustler VXL and I want to go faster.
I have actually the stock batteries - Power cell 8.4v 3000mah and I need to know I upgrade my rustler vxl battery to 11.1V lipo, Can I use my 8.4V 3000mah Traxxas plug or all of lipos need to modified Traxxas plugs and should upgrading my battery charger? Which charger is fit?

I didn't see any threads about the Rustler so I figured I'd start one.

When I got my old buggies out over two years ago I wanted to try something 'modern' but didn't have much of a budget. I scored an XL-1 Rustler for under $100 shipped not knowing...

I just scored a Nitro Rustler for a whopping US$90 :D It's the '07 model,too!
It's only 3 months old,but has a stripped idler gear.
Anyone know if I can use the metal gears outta the Magnum 272 tranny in the Magnum 289 tranny in my Nitro Rustler? No...

Got this truck @ a yard sale for $10. it had the stock body still & that needed to go! So I found a nitro hawk on ebay with a VW BAJA body that Ive never seen before & bought it just for the body. I put ball bearings all the way through it. Also put...

Nice score, every RC car I find at yard sales are the cheap walmart specials. The newer body looks great on it by the way.

Got bored last year, built another Rustler.

Only thing Traxxas is chassis, links, gears, body & mounts.

Made battery mount to run a shorty pack, mounted the esc behind the battery.

Made the esc tray and battery mount out of an old chassis so the...

How do you like that gearbox?

Only have a couple snow runs on the full aluminum version, ran the graphite version during the summer.

Has good machining and good fit and finish.

Graphite version holds bearings a bit tighter, 32 grams lighter and...

Hello all,
After reading about the Traxxas SRT, I wanted to build my Rustler into something raceworthy, combining the best parts of the stock Rustler, the SRT, and Jang's Ultimate Rustler build. I mostly know what I'm going to do, but I still have a...

Last post

I drilled tiny holes perpendicular to the hingepin so that i could insert my syringe oiler and lube from inside out and flush them out. So far it works great, i just lube up each pack and have no slop develop yet. Did this on bulkheads as well. I...
