Rusty's last stand!
 

With my wife at her mom's this weekend and my Revo arriving tomorrow I seized the opportunity to give the Rusty the last attention besides bashing it will see for a long while. And a chance to work with the 3mm CF before the Revo gets here. That's some strong stuff.

5700 hardwired to mm, and CF power switch mount.

I'll get the ext. chassis after the revo rolls under it's own power or I break this one. This truck has to hold me over until the revo runs.

what chassis is that you are using?

I'm pretty sure now he's running the stock chassis.

LOL,now i see; i thought it was a secret RPM thing.. It's a grey colored of the vxl dyed blue..

dyed blue and chopped up with a dremel. :D

That's a nice rusty. Arent those rear shock springs are going to bind before you hit full travel. I know it's a good way to break shocks on MTB's.

I had the same issue on my flm rustler - It gets very heavy at the rear with the ali transmission case... You need to put the spring up hard to keep it level and provide some cushioning...

I have stiffer springs I just need to put them on. I have alot of weight on the rear. flm tranny, rc-heatsink, swamibar. I need to up the oil to 60wt too I think. It's a bit soft.

Dicky,
Nice looking Rusty. Got any pics from this weekend?

Thanks Mark, no pics other than post assembly. I just bashed around in my condo parking lot. Revo will be here in the morning, I can;t wait to strip the nitro gear off of it.

Sounds like fun. Keep us updated with the build.

looks great dicky!

can't wait to read about Dicky Revo Carnage! (wait... that sounded dirty...)
