Help with Stampede Assembly

[skellyo]

Well, I ordered the CNC tranny and steel diff last night. I hope to have this thing done as a roller by this weekend.

sounds like you are going to have a very nice setup. one of my BL Rustlers is an FLM rustler. post some pics of the truck when you finish.

here are some pics of my BL FLM Rustler. they also show the rear arm braces you talked about. by the way, the M2k's suck on the track - i am going to maxx wheels with a pin tire:

That looks exactly like my rustly. I even am running a lehner. The only thing I am missing is a aluminum top plate. The stock black looks silly on mine. Where did you get your plate? Did you just paint your body posts?

MaxxFusion - are you running a 5300? i am running a 5300 on 7cells.

the bar for the body posts is painted silver, the body posts in the front are aluminum - not sure where they came from though. the top plate is silver carbon fiber that i designed and cut.

i took it to the track around christmas time messed up my steering servo i think. i also damaged the wheels on the wheelie bar so they need to be replaced :005:

i decided since the M2k's sucked so bad on packed dirt i was going to go with a pin tire, but the 2.2 pins are all so small in diameter compared to the M2k's.
so i got some stampede-to-maxx adapters, some Proline maxx offset dish wheels, panther kamodo pin tires. the tires are about 1/8" taller so they are perfect because i will be able to keep the ride height.

I have the 4200 with the MGM 80 controller running 7 cells right now. I may go to 8. I have seem the aluminum posts around. I think RD carries them.

I like the CF top plate. You have any more of those? I hate the black pastic. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

I want my rusty to look like my gmaxx. All silver. :017:

My pede will be next in line.
