New and old rusty's. Always a work in progress. About time for a new paint job
Run it till you break it, then upgrade
1/4 inch wideners on each rear wheel. Helps the car handle better for speed runs.
My first ever body that I painted myself. Came out pretty good considering im only 14
Upgrades: Rpm carriers F&R, Rpm A Arms F&R, Rpm casters, Integy wheelie bar (terrible), and much more to come.

Got this for $6 with 2 batteries and an Onyx 230 charger, don't think it was a bad deal.
How I got it, not a spec of dirt or a single scratch, all original. The grass is from me.
Got these for $10, at least 95% tread left.

Offroading:
On Road:
I boiled by rears to remove the tires to anti-balloon them. The chrome came off so I painted them, the back looks nice, but the front kinda sucks

Thought I'd share some updated pics of my Rusty, just got done rebuilding+fixing+cleaning finally from playing in the sand all New Years weekend. Got a new body, also added RPM suspension arms, aluminum castor blocks & STRC aluminum bellcrank.
My favorite LiPo battery atm, 2S 7.4v 6000mAh 30c
My now designated bashing body haha, changed the decals and cut some holes in the body for the ESC since last post. Can't be seen but it also has some newly added fire damage
New body with decals and some simple silver paint. Did a better job cutting over the ESC this time too.

Here's my Rustler restoration project. It's the old pre-XL5 model, I got it as a pile of parts in a trade about a year ago. I added a VXL system, a Proline Desert Rat lid, a homemade "Swami" wheelie bar that quickly became a skid plate, and a few RPM goodies, but it's mostly stock. I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Tires shown are either Proline Road Rage II on Agitator wheels, some unknown knobby tires on Proline Agitator wheels, Proline Switch SC tires on Epic beadlock 2.2 wheels, or the stock Monster Jam stampede tires.
