So here is where it starts. I have had the rustler for about 4 years and its time for a little change. It has all the hop ups I needed then and I will make it as bullet proof from here out as I can. I plan to make this a jumper, as it is very light and I will have some nice shocks on it. As you can see it is narrow but its pretty much the same width as my brother law's FLM stampede chassis.

Here you can see I have 32p gears. I think its a 56t Jato spur. FLM Tranny, And if you look up in the front, you can see the posts for the front top deck are just off too far by about 1/4"

Here is an easy fix I came up with. I will just drill two new holes in the top deck, and mount the posts 1/2" closer to the center and 1/4" back (I put the screw app. where I'll mount it). This will also be an nice battery stop when I as some sticky foam to it. I got a 20kg/cm servo. So it will be no problems steering this. I also will put on my 4mm turnbuckles I had for over a year sitting here and replace the 3mm crap...

Another shot of the Rear. I keep the bearing carriers plastic as a weak point. I plan on tapping the arms at the hinge pins and using set screws. I have some serious slop around the holes and I dont want to send them back to FLM yet. But I probably will later and get a new full set...I also have Ofna dog bones for shafts so no worry on twisting them...

Shot of the rear tower with an Ofna Raze wing mount.

The mounts that came with the FLM chassis really made this easy and solid.
