Rustler to jato front conversion
 
Ok here goes my question my LHS runs races every saturday but everyone is running 3.3 jatos I want to know could a rusty with a vxl on 2s be competitive and what parts would I need to do this conversion http://cgi.ebay.com/traxxas-rustler-...QQcmdZViewItem

Its a given I need the a arms but what carriers and links a list would be nice.

I plan on buying a roller and droping in 1 of my vxl's from my v-twinn maxx with a 4000hv 2s1p by maxx amps seeing that I will be getting a MMM combo when they come out.

any help would be great

ps its an on road course

As long as the track doesn't have any long straights, I don't see why you couldn't be competitive.

Looks like the ebay dude is using jato carriers and rustler links...? IMO

Why not just get the flm wide kit?

Extended Electric Arm Conversion Item # FLM 24900 & FLM24930

The hpi rush front arms are easier to do than jato arms. I will try to find the write up about this.

I actually prefer FLM A-Arm Kit FLM24800 that has extended front arms and standard rear arms. It extends the front arms wide enough to use the same offset wheels all the way around. Then, using wheels for nitro rear/front electric you have a wider stance. The track width is more than adequate for staying planted on the ground:
