traxxas rustler

This is my second set of tires. Not because of tred but because the part on the rim that accepts the hex is getting rounded. This allowing it to spinn freely. Any ideas on why. Is there any way to take off the rim and replace it. I had some talons from traxxas that got stripped. And just today a...

My lhs is going out of buisness. Therefor everything is on sale. They are closing the doors today. I sold my tmaxx and want to spend about $50 on upgrades. I already have the vxl system. I was thinking about the rpm bumpers. My clutch hubs are stripped so I'm getting those in steel $12. So...

I just finished taking apart the gear box and replaced all the gears. Put it back together. It worked fine. I jumped it over a parking curb, going about 3-5 mph. It landed but it won't go. It's having the same problem. I tightened the clutch, lined up the motor but its still slipping, almost...

I'm in the process of putting slash rear a arms on the front of my Rustler I came into an issue regarding the fiberglass dog bone in the front.

What do you guys think of the Traxxas rustler?
