Looking good, also looks like you actually run it sweet!

 

[ZANDOR]

damm thats the first rustler i have seen that i liked..how much do you have in to it.if you don't mind me asking..

 

[robmob]

That thing is sweet.

Check out this cage from RC Solutions. Would look nice on top of your ride.

That's a great setup for the tuned pipe. Anyone know if anything like that is available for the Tmaxx?
I have a tuned pipe out the back, but I'm always ripping silicone sleeves if it hits on its' butt.
Nice looking Rustler. Best I've seen.

lykan - Absolutely man! Run her all the time. That 2.5 will be going on its third gallon next time I run her!

zandor22 - The first Rustler you liked. WOW thats a shame, but thank you for the compliments. It is not your average Rustler as I have invested just over $1200 into it.(Too Much)

robmob - I just saw that cage this week as well. It would match my ride well, but honestly this ride does not get "bashed". It does not sit either, but it pretty much stays planted on mother earth!

Rolex - My Tuned Pipe! WOW I love it, but it is experimental. This pipe was designed for the pro .15 engine. They do not make this pipe and manifold for the 2.5. I had to customize the header and make adjustments to the pipe! BOY is it loud though!!!:hammer: Just what I wanted!!


Thanks for all the compliments!

not to be offensive or anything, but why get so much aluminum and put so much money into it if you said yourself that you don't bash, so the extra strength afforded by the aluminum just goes to waste, basically.

Because it's MY truck! That's what I wanted to do.

Aluminum will NEVER go to waste on any of my trucks, some may show and some may go

The 3 other RC's I own can take that bashing spot. This is my pride and therefor I do not bash it. I drive it!!
