5-year ongoing "Rustler" project

Oh ok thanks. I wanted to make a cool chassis like that. Very nice rustler.

MetalMan,

I happen to have 2 of your converted chassis. One I have almost ready for some 10S fun with my Hacker ION-X motor. Keep up the great work. Awesome Rustler BTW.

2 of my Rustler chassis? I still have each one of those I made.

Thanks for all the comments, guys!

What's_nitro? is right, an aftermarket or custom chassis (he is also correct about the material of mine) is required, with an alteration of a couple holes (in this case, 4 new holes were drilled). Also, I had to swap the left/right rear arms to match the new positioning of the shocks, so the arm marked "L" is on the right, and vice versa.

Takedown, surely I can't be the first person with mod1 on a Revo slipper in a Rustler (but maybe the first with this setup on a MGT spur), so you're more than welcome to use it! There are two reasons for why I did this - low motor RPM (it's geared 20/46 after all) and a 5mm motor shaft.

From driving it so far, it actually seems like the rear doesn't have enough weight on it since the rear diff diffs out so much, even though it will wheelie/flip over without any difficulty. Hopefully thinner shock oil in the rear will help this. But there is way more steering with this setup!

I took a look at your photos and the XTM that I have now is in there.
