Thank you for the welcoming @Tunedpipe here's some pics, anything helps!
it does sound like a fun project I'm just in search of more speed I can't seem to pass 58 mph and aside from spur gears and clutch bell, transmission is the only thing that I can of that would make it faster...Thank you for the welcoming excited to join! Hopefully it leads me in the right direction
Jato tranny on a slash would be pretty awesome if you dig anything up please share, Thank you!
Definitely did, also changed the spur gear to a 64teeth and the clutchbell to the biggest one I was able to get and yet no matter how I tune it I haven't been able to pass 58 mph, it has a ton of torque and acceleration though which I'm happy about. Also the guy at the hobby shop told me to try 30% nitro and I might break into the 60s but I don't want to rely on the nitro % in order to make it there. What type of filter is yours carrying? Looks different, does it help?That looks like a brand new engine, have you just replace 2.5 recently?
Very interested to see how this goes, as I was thinking about doing the same, then wanted a Jato instead....which ever comes first
Heres my trusty rusty also with a 3.3

This actually helps out a lot!
Yeah the bottom is definitely different so I will have to drill about 2 more wholes in the back portion or 4 wholes and connected an extra piece to stretch the chassis as for the shock tower I actually have the transmission arriving this upcoming week already bought it so I will keep posting the process for anyone who is interested in the subject or doing the same thing ! This is definitely going to be an interesting one...
Hello
I'm not sure as to how it would go mounted on to the Rustler yet but most likely I will use the stock Rustler shock mount drill holes to align to the transmission and put metal back plate to hold in place... Again idk if it will work, these are just ideas until I've actually received the Tranny... did you find a better way to mount it onto yours after it broke the first time?
I have a Rusty that has done 118MPH. That being said its not a nitro and its far from being stock
Nothing short of an aluminum trans case would solve it on the Jato, or some interesting redesign work. And I think @johnnydmd has bought up every aluminum trans case on the planet.
Electric? That's pretty good but I think nitro is more fun I love hearing the engine go crazy lol. Obviously to each their own and if you're having fun with it that's all that mattersI have a Rusty that has done 118MPH. That being said its not a nitro and its far from being stock
Then I'm most likely going to do the same to my filter, I like the way it looks on yours. & as for the speed...It's definitely miles per hour I have gps on it both the traxxas one which i believe is not as accurate & the SkyRC gps too which is pretty awesome
I have nitros too, I do like the sound and smell of nitro but electric is more in my wheelhouse just because of my general interest in batteries and electronics. I only posted that to illustrate that Rsutlers in general can go quite fast.Electric? That's pretty good but I think nitro is more fun I love hearing the engine go crazy lol.

My second RC after Kyosho Sandmaster (what got me into RC's) was a Brushless Electric Rustler.I have nitros too, I do like the sound and smell of nitro but electric is more in my wheelhouse just because of my general interest in batteries and electronics.
