rustler and tmaxx

[tony12]

i have a rustler and my father runs a tmaxx, we built a little track on an extra piece of property we have and just pretty much bash!( theres no point in racing my rustler has the 3.3 and his tmaxx only has the 2.5) but does have the 2 speed tranny. he stays close for a minute but being a big 4 wheel drive he doesn't have the handling i have! ok so i have 2 questions...

1. is there any type of a tranny upgrade or a 2 speed tranny for my rustler? with a 3.3 and a single speed i know I'm losing some power.

2. are the k&n style air filters worth buying? I'm seeing good and bad things everywhere! if not what is a good air filter? both of them have factory filters!

K@N filters don't filter small enough particles to be effective on a rc vehicle. They just do damage. Motor Saver filters are a good upgrade.

As for the tranny,I've never seen a 2 speed in a Rustler. You'll have to play with your clutch bell/spur gearing.

I couldn't see a 3.3 rusty being a dog.

the 3.3 is on the rusty is tuned damn near perfect, i mean the thing is quick! just saying that i didnt think the 3.3 with a single speed wouldn't be working to its full potential!
