So I finished up the electrics on the Rustler. 1512 on 4s geared 18/56. FAST. But damn near uncontrollable. The masher 2k's get absolutley no traction whatsoever when Off-road (probably because the 1512 and 4s). I might as well have just run around on just rims.

So I slapped on my pin tires (Hotbodies ST tires) for my Maxx . and it handled great around our river track... Even for 2WD I was getting some good laps in. Even the GF was having fun with it, while my niece loves watching. So I ordered some Komodo LP tires, Ofna MT3 rims I will dye black, Just need to build my 8ight shocks and fill them up and slap em on, also ordered my "Rollcage" material. I went with the GS Nylatron 3/8" and I bought some .060" lexan as well to form a Body over the cage. Should be slick when its all said and done.

The 8ight has turned SC8ight. Body is mounted and looks good. Just need to rebuild my shocks and we will be rolling this weekend. I replaced all the bearing as well. The CD bearing were SOO shot, they had like 2mm play each.

Also, when I rebuilt the diffs,I used a Nova-RC cup for the CD. Rear is Losi HD cup and front just stock...

And the Maxx, I rebuilt the 4 RC8 shocks with 50wt oil. I added LST2 sway bars to the rear (and it came out Fing Sweet) Just need to figure out how I will do the front sways. I also replaced all the axle carriers with new Slayer Pro knuckles and fresh bearings. And I will rebuild the diffs, When I do the front and rear diffs they will be getting Nova-RC cups as well as new AVID bearings. They have a sale on the bay right now for $6.50 a cup. (CHEAPER THAN HD PLASTIC CUP).

Will get some Pictures when I find my camera. Kinda sucks I got so much stuff and I cant take any pics... All my rides are being re-done. Will post soon.
