I had the Traxxas fan on mine until it's broke. The fan itself pulled out. I fixed it once but then it came out again and got lost. Most people complain about broken fan blades. I also run the integy...

My condolences about your mother in law. I lost my mom to cancer about a year and a half ago. Cancer sucks

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Yeah it really depends on driving style. I broke mine while jumping, it landed funny on the rear wheel. Nothing to do with the 3s battery, just my stupidity....

The spur gear is plastic because there has to be a weak point somewhere. The gear is cheap enough and easy enough to replace. As far as the clutch, it's intent is to allow the wheels and the motor to...

I'm of the opinion that only what breaks should be replaced. I'm not s fan of replacing perfectly good parts. That being said, I've replaced all 4 shocks (bent a couple), all 4 axles and bearing...

Lol not meant personally! Just speaking of myself. I break parts by being stupid more than anything!

Mine did for a while, until I started jumping it. So really, it depends on how and where you drive. Loose surfaces will most likely allow longer life than say asphalt. It also depends on the loose...

I just did exactly this, on 3s with a 14t pinion it's quick! I'm debating going to a 17t to see what happens. I'm strictly a basher, dirt and grass almost...

Guessing VXL since it was running on 3s.That's normal, the truck is really designed for 2s, not 3s. To properly run 3s, it's advised to gear down the motor, and add a cooling fan to the ESC and...

I used the stock Hoss settings to start, at it's pretty similar. I ran it pretty hard tonight and the motor was still cool enough to touch. I'm thinking of going to a 17t to see how it acts. I am...

Just to update this thread, the Hoss 540XL and VXL3S fit like a glove! No modifications needed. The only thing I ran into is when removing the motor plate from the 3500 motor I stripped the screw...

Put a 540XL and a VXL-3S of of a Hoss into my Rustler 4x4... This thing screams on a 14t pinion. I'll keep monitoring the temps, but I may bump it up to a 16t to see how she...

I've already got the Tekno M6 axles, and I'm waiting on usps to deliver my 2200kv motor. I'll buy the Sledgehammers in a month or two.

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Nevermind, I figured it out. That are the same, 12mm.

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Looking to get a set of Sledgehammers. Will wheels off a Hoss fit a Rustler 4x4 without an adapter? I cant find the hex size for the Hoss, I know my Rustler is 12mm. Thank you!

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Exactly why I'm switching it, I don't want any issues with wire sizes. Fire and melted wires suck.

Rustler 4x4 VXL

If you're talking about the 540XL, it's the same motor in the Hoss, which is basically the same chassis as the Rustler. I'm about to make that swap myself. I can't speak for the ESC, as I'm just...

I recently broke a tekno front carrier, bit that was because a tree jumped in front of my car.... I can post pics later

Rustler 4x4 VXL

I live in Phoenix, so I understand the temperatures. I have kept my Rustler in the garage for a year now, I've had no issues. I do keep my batteries in the house, so there's been no issues with that....

Yeah that's the plan, like I said though the truck is getting the attention right now.

Rustler 4x4 VXL

I've got a fitech. It was the most economical, and since I'm not racing I didn't need all the fancy gadgets. I'm still working on getting it completely tuned, the timing is throwing me still. It may...

It is a true 340 GTS, however most of the car is not original. The guys we bought it from were going to make a race car out of it. I had to piece it together. It does have a 340, but it's a later...

Oh yeah, if I had traction it would have been low 14s for sure. I don't remember the MPH, I think it was around 95 though.

That's a scary wreck [emoji15][emoji15]

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Lol I wish!!! I ran a 15.1 with NO traction. Every time it hit second the tires just spin!

Rustler 4x4 VXL

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Platinum edition. If you don't have the Traxxas controller the module I had in mind won't work. However, look into the manufacturer of your controller, there may be a...
