I'm on a 3s but it's my first real build ever so I'm still figuring stuff out. I have the VXL3S 3500 In it now and really think I can hit at least close to the 70mph it advertised. I broke the case to my good transmission and I have the stock one in now when I got 55 and ran out of room LoLNice!
I run 2s on mine. 4000kv Hobbywing system. 23/86 gearing. I can get up to 40 to 45ish mph.
That's something to be proud of, don't hide it.
Great looking rig
I have a aluminum bulkhead also. I thought about that and that's definitely the weakest point where all the aluminum meets the plasticAwesome looking truck. God help ya if you crash it. The aluminum arms are going to rip your front bulkhead right out off the chassis at those speeds if you hit anything.
It will rip your hinge pins out and likely destroy that bulkhead. I'd recommend leaving the aluminum arms for when it's sitting pretty on the shelf. It's a cool looking build man. Hate to see it get destroyed. With plastic arms, usually it's just an arm and links that go.I have a aluminum bulkhead also.

Good idea man. Get a basher body too please. If you scratch that gorgeous green body Tunedpipe is going to come and take you for a ride in his kayakThanks for the advice! I have the stock plastic a arms I'm probably gonna put them on when I go out to try and hit 65 this weekend lol
You might check RPM, they may have arms for your rig and possible green.Thanks for the advice! I have the stock plastic a arms I'm probably gonna put them on when I go out to try and hit 65 this weekend lol

All I wanted to do was reply and say I think I need to get a rustler body. Since I switched to a low CG rustler chassis none of my old stampede bodies will fit. If you look close that's why there's 2 sets of holes on my good ole Chevy body too now

You add the dye to a pot of water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Suspend your part using a wire into the water.
It being gray, the only thing that will look right is black. If you were to dye it green, it would likely come out a very dark green. You can't lighten it. Only make it darker.Thanks! Definitely gonna dye something that looks so much better than paint!
