    Rear Tire Issues.

    I own a nitro rustler and the rear tires have been wearing so horrible ever since i first got the thing. When i apply throttle they turn into the center. I don't know how to fix this because i only know the camber adjustment. Is there a way to turn the wheels more out so they don't do this?

    Nitro Rustler Rebuild

    A couple of weeks ago I bought this nitro Rustler as part of a deal for a boat i liked.
