I have a Nitro Rustler with a 3.3 swap and a bunch of anodized goodies That thing goes like crazy. It's traction limited pretty much all the time; I should really get an LSD for it, but they're like 50 bucks lol.

I have 2.5R Jato with a 3.3 swap in it. I race mine in parking lots with "car" bodies more than i throw it around in the dirt. Friends of mine bring cones and we have parking lot races. Funny this thread came up, i just sprayed the inside of my Parma Plymouth 'Cuda last night (lime green)

I buy used 2.5R Jato tires off Ebay whenever they pop up cheap, and those are my racing slicks

Keep this thread going

Typically a limited slip differentiall. But Ive never heard of a limited slip for the rustler.

I have a Revo 3.3, Hot Bodies ST, and a 1/5 scale Firhammer MT.

I don't have nitro, but I picked up a electric Rustler last fall. Used to have a bunch of electric cars when I was a teen.

I've got a couple of heli's too that I'm slowly learning.

The havoc is good fun for a few minutes. You want some cheap RC fun, go find a AirHogs Aero Ace, the bi-plane model at your local Kmart, WM, or Toys'R'Us. For 25 bucks, those things are great!

yes i have a yokomo gt4 with a 1.5hp nova rossi motor it revs to 43000rpms lol clocked that sucker with radar at 80mph. thing is fast. i dont play with it anymore though just cause i dont have time.

i think it would def out run my car motor to motor in the 1/8th mile cause it tops out in about 6 seconds lol btw its a two speed trans.

Only two I have are a T-maxx with a 2.5R swap (killed the original 2.5 and 3.3 was too much power) and a electric Stampede with a 12 turn swapped motor (not brushless)
