4x4 rustler

[dirt101]

I should beable to get this thing started soon, because Im supposed to be selling my dirtbike on sunday.

right now im either thinking sidewinder 4600 combo's or sidewinder with a couple of feiago 10s's. what would you guys prefer(cost exactly the same).

I think im going to take semi pro's advice and run my servo up front(2070). It really simplifies things but im probably going to have some serious bump steer. the mount seems pretty simple to make too, and it allows me to shorten my wheelbase allittle if I decide I want to do that.

Im also probably going to cuagh up the cash for some of those defiance racing hubs. I dont want to but I'm not really fond of cvd's and after the cost of the HPI set-up and cvds they end up costing about the same.

also weight is going to be well below what I first presumed(9lbs). I weighed the two tranny's, my moabs, both 3s 6400's, reciever, servo(w/linkage) all on top of my CRT's chassis and I came up with 6.2lbs. If castle weights are correct two sidewinder combos will weigh 19 ounces, so im looking at a truck that will end up a little less than 7.75 pounds. If I can get away with running one battery I can drop that by 18 ounces, so it could weigh in around 6.5 pounds.

Down the road I would like to buy a 30c neu 5000 so I can really make sure I can run one battery. My 6400's have a ton of runs and are VERY TIRED, so Im probably going to just run both until I can upgrade.
