I ordered a couple motors on Amazon. Nothing hot, just well reviewed and mostly color-matched. My boys installed them last night.

Over the weekend I had my daughter install the latest arrivals.

Money is getting a little tight with us needing a new washing...

Thank you very much for taking the time to share so much of your experience with me. That's just the kind of feedback I've been looking for.

I had to loop up expy and punch. Hadn't heard of that...

I'm feeling pressed for time all the time lately. My kids did some work this weekend but I'm feeling too rushed to make a good write-up.

My youngest put his tires on. We used orange anodized...

The pair of 6774A wheels and tires came in. I only bought the pair because I wanted to test fit them before going whole-hog on buying wheels for two trucks. The proportions look right and I'll buy...

Today we finished the Stampede body by applying the stickers. This past week we finished applying the solid white backer to the translucent silver, then we applied dull coat to the pickup bed. I...

Excellent post! Great story and I'm happy to hear you and your dad are making the most of your COVID lockdown time. Congrats on the 71 MPH.

Yes, for the bashers I think stock will be fine. I haven't purchased driveshafts for the speed build because I want to look for something stronger and in red.

My boys are running out of things to do to their trucks. For each one of them I need wheels and tires, motors, ESCs, wire looms, radios and receivers. The black chassis is much further behind as I...

Three clutch assemblies arrived earlier this week. I'm going to save them for the weekend so we will have enough time to install all three at the same time.

Yesterday a pair of GPM steering...

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliments.



Oh, but we will. :D

I'm already thinking of an improved paint job. I'm thinking of buying another chassis, better sanding job, adhesion...

A couple nights ago the casters and knuckles from Coda Racing arrived. My boy installed them last night.

I know I've still got a...

Thank you very much for the compliments. I hadn't considered visibility problems on the black chassis but I plan to go with a red body and maybe, just maybe, some white stripes. I'm on the fence...

I had the same problem. The RPM mounts will not cure that particular problem which is why I will be punching new holes up front. The adjustable RPM mounts are handy in the rear so that the body can...

We've committed to the Stampede body mostly because I spent the money on it. I don't like the look but my son does and it is his truck so who am I to judge? I'm mostly frustrated because I was led...

The Stampede body arrived last night and it doesn't look right at all on the Rustler. The rear body mount from the Stampede makes the "bed" of the body way too high, IMO. It is so high that the...

It looks good. Good luck with the build.

2255 is rated 6.0V and VXL-3S ESC BEC is 6.0V.

You should be good to go as-is.

You have blown my mind with this revelation. I already have the Stampede mount. The old 1914 kits I bought work for both cars. I showed my son the selection of Stampede bodies and he is taken with...

Good to hear from you again, TRAXXASAXXART. I hope things are well. We'll definitely be using Tamiya paints. For the blue chassis we are going to paint a one-color silver with transparent windows....

I'm still not satisfied with the fit of Integy's parts! I bought a different bulkhead this time but there is still a slight difference in height between the bulkhead and the horizontal part of the...

Last night my daughter installed the Bonzaibar for me. It's nice having the kids do all the work.

While she was at it I had her...

OK, I've decided to stick with a Rustler for the speed build. I really want the '39 Ford body but if I decide to go down that road I'll just get or build an actual Slash.

Tonight I installed the...

I've looked at it. It is not compatible with my Integy gearbox. The gearbox is lacking the required screw holes for mount points. Another problem I have with the extension is that it raises the...

I don't feel like hacking up the extension and then hacking up the chassis to fit nerf bars. Should I just convert the black chassis over to a Slash build? Thoughts?
