whos done the 4tec carrier mod to their rustlers?
 

i heard it adds 1.5 degree rear toe in and makes the rustler handle sooooo much better.
the thing is, can you tell me if i got this correct?
from what i know, im suppose to order a 4 tec carrier:

and two flanged bearings size 5x11x4. can someone link me to a set please? the only set i found cost $40 hahah.
or is there another way to do this mod? some one says to use teflon washers to use as spacers behind the carrier.
is this all i need?

You have to use regular (non-flanged) 5x11x4mm bearings.

The teflon spacers are to take up the slack that you will get due to the different axle lengths between the Rustler and 4-Tec.

If you do this mod I would recommend aluminum carriers for the 4-Tec as the plastic ones you linked are not made to handle the rigors of off-road. I broke my fair share of them before I realized this.

I agree. Heck, even onroad, one fairly gentle smack into a curb will break the plastic carriers.

yea i hear them plastic ones are super duper weak, but i was still gonna get the plastic ones cus of their price. but after the way you guys said it, shoot, im def. gonna get the aluminum ones.

i was told to use flanged bearings. but i guess i can use normal bearings and just use the teflon washers. do you know what size washer..i think i researched 3mm, but can you confirm that?
so will i need two washers on each side..a total of 4 washers? or just one on each side for a total of 2 washers?
and if i dont need flanged bearings, then why even buy the normal bearings? doesnt the stock rustler vxl use 5x11x4 size bearings already?

Yep, the vxl uses 5x11x4 bearings. Get the 5mm id teflon washers to take up the slack. You will see how many you need when you get it assembled. I would put 1 between the hex and the outer bearing, and the rest on the inside. That will help the bearings out, as a bunch or shims on the outside just adds leverage to the bearings.

ive got the 4degree flm tranny mounts and the extra toe in really helps for straightline stability.

ok cool thanks for the help fellas.
