12 cell Rustler

[Rtsbasic]

I would very strongly recommend a T2. Its the most durable stadium truck I've ever owned. I picked my last one up off ebay for $40 and it was a complete roller with MIP cvd's, lunsford turnbuckles, RPM wheels and a Proline shell. Not forgetting it comes with a tub alloy chassis as standard, and is mostly part compatible with the RC10GT..so hobby shop's stock quite a few parts for it.

You can mod the hell out of them too to make them even stronger. RPM make front/rear wishbones & bodyposts, and GPM make some very nice rear arm mounts (hobbyetc had them on sale in the RC10 catagory for $5...$5!! what a price). I've ran my T2 very hard - involving lots of trees, curbs, and a great BMX track. The tranny is very strong - the stock gears are good up to 8-9 cells, beyond that I recommend Robinson Racing alloy ones - idler is $12, diff gear is around $15, and if you can find one a titanium topshaft goes for around $20 (not necessary, but I got one anyway). This tranny I ran on 12 cells with an 8L for a few hours running and its still going good.
