I went with HR as the bellcrank is all 1 piece. The bottom of the Traxxas aluminum bellcrank sits on the actual bellcrank and I guess overtime it just wedged it self out. (I had that Traxxas bellcrank for 3 years, one of my first upgrades) And I also bent and broke the center drag link multiple times in both my rustler and slash. Heck, on my slash I am still running the aluminum bellcrank, but since the center drag link bent, I used the plastic one from the stock one to get it running.

See pics below.

I'll try it out.

USPS decided to send my package 4 hours north and delayed it by 2 days so my package won't be delivered for like another day or 2. So I won't have my other pair of tires.

Gonna use the worn down street tires and see if those work.

Swap the front to the rear. Who needs steering in a beach? 😅
 
Got my other pair of slick tires and ill be bringing the rustler out to the track in the next few Saturdays and try to race it. Just need to figure out my receiver wiring system and how/where to mount my transponder. As I only have 1 and will be switching it from car to car. Buddy says we need more older/vintage stadium trucks so Ill bring what I got. Sure the rustler platform is a bit dated, but mine is a bit upgraded so IDK how it will be doing against current trucks or older trucks. My buddy has a Losi XXXT (i believe its called)
My car is still factory rear motor so Ill qualify. But if I did a mid motor conversion, Ideally I don't think I would be qualified for a old/vintage class.

If you use the old traxxas tan chassis from the 90s. 🫡

If I can find one.
Well, my rustler would ideally qualify for mid school. Gonna have to read the rules over again. They are planning on doing another vintage showdown race next year.
