Good point. I am thinking of it though as the cost of LiPos is higher up front, but long term, the benefits outweigh those of a NiMH - power, longevity, and drive time.

I used a small flathead to push the tab in while using a hex allen wrench in the enter to pull to the side. They were really hard to get out when my truck was new.

The guy is just trying to make it sound like its such a dear and awesome truck that he priced it where its a deal. Truth probably is that he had the extra parts or was able to get them cheap, threw...

I believe when they say it is new. All of the parts on there minus maybe the body and light kit are easy bolt ons. Doesn't look like any performance changes were made - just items that are visually...

I don't know if there is a changelog anywhere on the models.

For this particular one, I think it might be hard to find out given it appears to have many aftermarket parts. What ESC/Motor does it...

1) “wt” in motor oil doesn’t stand for weight and cannot be used interchangeably
2) you are right that stock is 30wt (or 350cst) silicon oil

Shock oil is cheap enough that there shouldn’t be a...

I checked during a break and it was 5/16 drill bit that I used. SO roughly the 8mm listed in the instructions.

This is what I was referring to. I didn't know you could still get the red one - last time I looked nothing was available. Thank you for the link.

^^This. Older body frames just didn't have the holes for the bolts. The newer body frame does come with it and can be purchased.

IF you do have the new frame, it is fairly simple. Use the...

I thought the backslash kit was no longer available, or if not, where do you get it at?

There isn't a ton of compatibility between the electric 2wd and nitro 2wd. Everything from the front suspension to the transmission is different. Even the steering linkage is different.

If you...

Why don't they? Not trying to be dense here, just I get if you have an extra NiMH battery like you did lying around -- sure. But with the advantages of LiPos -- it seems to me like its well worth...

^^This because you don't want to buy springs for a different setup just to change them again.

What are you trying to do here? The 3s batteries that fit in the trays can be put in parallel and do just as good without modifications or the worry about not having a body. Also, the batteries are...

I mean if handling is what you are going for, then its more than just a LCG as you alluded to. Start with sway bars as they will have the biggest effect on your handling. Then if that's not enough,...

For carriers, the Traxxas ones are good and are most commonly installed. Aluminum arms however are typically only used for street or speedrun builds as heavy duty traxxas or RPM a arms are much more...

My gosh, which version of the X-maxx do you guys have? I've only had mine since December, but I've had numerous rough sessions with tons of high jumps and a couple at a cement skate park. My rear...

The 4tec2.0 frame has a inner hole for more extreme steering angles - I think you have to drill it out though. The only thing I don't like about the 4tec platform is that it doesn't give much room...

I haven't built a drifter (yet) but I have researched it quite a bit. You will probably have a much easier time of drifting if you use the 4x4 platform, although I am told that a 2wd will give...

I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I would seriously doubt it. There aren't a ton of aftermarket parts for the Nitro Rustler these days outside of the aluminum stuff on Integy. I...

Remove the motor (pull ESC out, unscrew motor cover and motor). Once you have it disconnected, roll the chassis on the ground and listen for any sounds. IF it does not have a jerky motion and rolls...

Do you hear it when you have it on the ground and roll it by hand back and forth?

Yep each to their own preference for sure. Cheers.


It is indeed.

Nah, the center diff only makes it harder to wheelie if you put lighter diff oil in it. The stock 50k oil allows you to wheelie on command. You of course can go thicker and get even more wheelie...

No but low viscosity oil in a center diff will :)
