top speed rustler project

a XL or Neu 1512 is too much torque for the Rustler..I am running a stock VXL Rustler with 9L and I have problems with the torque .I have the Revo 40 tooth spur with a 16 tooth pinion and it is plenty fast. A 6 turn motor will be a fireball on 6s good luck with the setup and get some vids it should be entertaining you might want to put some lead weights on the chassis to make it more stable....

Would it really be running 20k over when it is under the load of pushing a rustler ~80mph?

well right now i cant keep the front down. but i got some new shocks that lowered it almost to the ground so it is a little bit stable. also im waiting tell my work gets in the wheely bar. that should help a lot.


i think im going to just go with the 6xl motor. should be starting the rebuild in mid june.

also getting some 1/8 scale sedan foams will help they wont balloon, I tried the anacondas and they arent much help, and doing all the mods to help with it dont work good enough
