Why yes it is! Has anyone done the 3.3 driveshaft mod? I thought of that awhile back but thats just ridiculous... I would like to stick with getting jato shafts.

lol ill try to stick some on tomorrow i have 3 rustys a stampede and an emaxx and 1/2 in pieces all over my family room (wife loves me) not! hey spring is here gotta get em ready...sweet rusty !

I run 3 different drag rustys, and each of them use a different setup....

one has the HPI dogbone setup, one has the MIP cvds and one has the traxxas steel yokes.....all of them work really well....i just found that running with a 4s, there's no way to keep the stock stub axles and yokes from getting shredded.

nice setup Takedown......how is the gearing for the hacker motors? it looks like you're geared really low for high speed runs....for me to get around the 80mph mark i gotta run like this:

Im geared super low right now... Im not running a hacker motor. Im running a Hacker ESC with a feigao 8xl motor. Im gonna gear alot higher here soon. Just gotta find the right driveshafts. Most likely jato...

Ill be picking up the rc10gt 60t spur here soon. I have a rc10gt 66t spur on right now and a 19t 5mm pinion. I will also be picking up a RCM 24t 32p 5mm pinion.

Ok this may seem a little funny but I got my prototype front downforce wing on and it looks somewhat promising. I wont be able to test it until tommoro when I get my new yokes but let me know what you guys think...

If you pic the right body and lay it out properly, you will only need a rear wing for downforce and keep it tracking straight. The peeps that dragrace rustlers in San Antonio, don't use any front wings.

I know I've seen someone do something like that :whistle:. Oh my here it is :lol: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...00&postcount=8. Mine lived for only one run though. Looks good. Do you think the controller can handles 6S lipo?

Takedown 03.25.2008 08:15 PM

Most definately! The Master is running cold on 5s with the rustler with the 8xl. I think it'll do fine.

Takedown 03.25.2008 08:19 PM

Im gonna try out the VXL output yokes to. They look much stronger...

If you have spare time, could you try it?

Very nice rustler Takedown. I think if you got a body, maybe it would stay on the ground. (yeah right lol)
