Nitro Rustler Questions

[SpeeD-Jr]

Hi

Traxxas Nitro Rustler TRX 2.5 ;

Is the OS .18 engine better than TRX 2.5 ?
Are the Aluminium Shock Tower F/R better than Graphite ?
Does Big Bore Shocks XXL and L w/ soft red spring will be fine ?
For high-speed am I better to get 72T spur and 22T clutch bell or 70T - 22T ?
Shall I change the F/R Arms and bellcrank to aluminium ?
Is the output yokes worth it ?

Are you trying to make your Rustler faster or more durable? I believe that the stock spur combine with a 22 cluth bell is what is supposed to make the truck go over 50mph and I think the stock spur is 70T. I am using RPM arms on mine they seem to work good and are cheap to replace if they do break. Aluminum can bend and would add weight to the truck if your looking for speed then dont go with aluminum. I have no experience with the O.S. engine or the output yokes so I wouldn't know, hope someone else can answer those for you.
