The Rustler was running really well today, so I snapped a couple'a pics. First time I've posted any, so enjoy! PM me if you have any comments or suggestions

The body is old and kinda torn up (And it was only my second one, so that's why it has so much over spray, etc.), but I have other things to spend my $40 on. Need castors and I'm saving for LiPo and a Spektrum.
