thanks BL_RV0

you know i dint rember the weight, it was useing one max amps 8000mah 11.1v pack, it ran great off of the one pack, the pack stayed below 100*.

as for steering, i just used 2 traxxas 2070 servos and i ended up useing a hoop to conect the two sides of the steering together, it didnt look very nice so i removed it for the pictures, that was the only way to get proper bump steering.

i tryed to build it useing only traxxas parts, that why i used vxl stuff

some things that needed to be done diffrently

1 the chassis need about 5-7* of front kick up
2 i tryed to make the exact same size as a stock rustler, thats just to small to get a proper stearing set up in the truck, try running your servo infront of the front gear box, it will be much easyer and you will only need one servo
3 the extreme shock angle requires much heavyer springs and better shocks
4 if you use hpi rs4 front hubs you will need longer cvds than mip's if you off road it.
5 im not sure if my chassis was thick enuff, sometimes flex is a good thing but two much or to little and it gets twichy. mine was 2.3mm with L chanel reinforcement in the center and on the sides to velcro the body to.


the truck was ballastic, but it was too twichy to get past 60mph
