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 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...

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.

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...
