I posted these on a thread in this forum. But I'll put them here too so it's in the gallery. I meant to but forgot.
I like the Slash skid plate idea. And the zip tie to hold a fan to the motor. I never thought of that!
here is a great idea if u want a low rider or just better handling
put some zip ties around ur truck

New to the group here ...
I picked up a Rustler XL-5 today. I used to own a Traxxas in 2000 but sold it due to inactivity. This last week my BIL & his 2 boys got into the hobby so I thought I'd join in on the fun.
Here's my Father's Day gift. It's stock right out of the box. It's taking a bit getting used to RTR. Back in 2000 when I bought my Traxxas it was in a kit.

Here are a few more. I took these outside before any damage and/or dirt was added.![]()

How fast will my Rustler run with the gearing 20/90 with a 2s Li-Po 5000mah 30C and with a 3s Li-Po 3300mah 30C?

Broken parts are opportunities for upgrades!
Here's a couple still shots from mine on the workbench awaiting some new FLM cvd's!
The 4s pack is in just for test running.
Emaxx- truggy/CD conversion...
Well I got tired of the front bumper taking a beating. I have already replaced a set of arms, and a frame stiffner, steering blocks, ect......
I made the bumper out of a peice of aluminum sheet I had laying around the shop. Here's a pic before the final trimming & smoothing the edges.
