Build Showcase "generic stadium truck' (ultimate rustler)

I considered getting the MIP axles/driveshafts for my Nitro Sport. Do think they are worth the $$$ ?

The XDuty? I mean if you run heavy power and beat on it, could be a good investment. But it is all steel and is pretty heavy. Used to have a set on my slash but I swapped them out with Traxxas EHDs (I run them both on my slash and rustler) (from rusty 4x4 rears). Plastic. Cheap. Lightweight. Durable enough for me. Also helps the car on the track. Less heavy less rear weight bias which is helpful for running rear motor on modern high grip tracks. Still durable for bashing too imo. Only con about the Traxxas EHDs is that they're only sold in ones so you'll have to get 2 but it will only set you back about 25 bucks if I remember, compared to MIP XDs are like 80 or more bucks (USD)

Edit: Dang the XDuties are 60 bucks USD. I remember paying 75 for them like 4 years ago at my lhs. Weird. MIP also has the C CVD axles which look pretty good so if going that route I'd say sure go for it

Ok. I'll wait to see if the Trx ones hold up.

ok, i adjusted the steering link yesterday. it was about 5mm long, so i shortened it. it might still be a mm or 2 long but its close enough. re-indexed the servo horn. re-adjusted the steering trim. it's hard to tell, but it might turn better. but still not in RC10 territory.

Well duh it's a Traxxas!
It ain't no associated, although it could be one

no, it couldn't. and don't call it a traxxas. it's a stadium truck built with random parts. it only has 6 traxxas part numbers on it. if anything it's an RPM.
just not sure exactly how id get more throw. as it is the rod end might be touching the screw that holds the camber link to the shock tower at full throw. i think I'm fine with it the way it is, but who knows, i might get bored sometime and get creative.
