    Purchased First RC, Traxxas Nitro Rustler w/ .15 Engine

    Hello again everyone! It's been an awful long time since I've posted here and I've done so much with my rustler in those couple of months! My total for the rustler is currently about $1100. Numerous stock parts were replaced (some multiple times), and I've gotten many upgraded parts. I should...

    Alright so the new steering servo is in, and steering is adjusted. The new ez-start OWB (didnt get the starter shaft yet) as well as the new carb and 2 point brace have also been installed. I ran the rustler for about a half an hour today with all the new parts and I'm totally loving it. Huge...

    Purchased First RC, Traxxas Nitro Rustler w/ .15 Engine

    Hmm, well I guess I'll wait on getting that box, perhaps I'll get it at some point though. I looked on eBay for that little roll bar and the only place I found that three point brace that you have is in a $500 NOS Parts lot that someone is selling. However I did find one other New Era Models...

    Ran the rustler for about 40 minutes on Saturday in a mostly dirt parking lot. It was amazing, kicking up all sorts of dust and rocks! Got REAL dirty though unfortunately, especially because the dust and pebbles stuck to the truck from the damp dirt and partially melted snow in some spots. On...

    Purchased First RC, Traxxas Nitro Rustler w/ .15 Engine

    Well I got the truck today. It's about 20F and there's still a lot of snow and ice on the ground but I couldn't stop myself from taking the rustler on a 15 minute test drive. Started up fairly quickly, though it seems I partially flooded it as it was my first time ever starting a nitro rc. Looks...

    I got all the accessories necessary to run this truck and they have arrived already, the truck itself should be arriving tomorrow. Good to hear this old truck is still usable and moddable! I currently will be using the included 75.820Mhz JR Racing XR3i FM transmitter and JR Racing R135...

    Purchased First RC, Traxxas Nitro Rustler w/ .15 Engine

    Hello everyone! I've been curious about rc's for a few years now, and I love working on cars, so today when I saw a ready to run nitro rc for only $120 shipped on eBay, I jumped on it. I have never had any "real" RC's, only radioscrap stuff, and that's 10 years ago. I am familiar with most if...
