A little bit here and there. I'm still trying to get it tuned. Weather in Minnesota is pretty inconsistent and the lack of wide open straight roads kind of makes it a struggle.

Build finished and time to start re-tuning the carb. The hoons are good for speed but don't have a lot of grip, car tends to spin the tires if I get on it too hard. Already running a 19/42T mod1 combo. Can't go smaller with the spur otherwise the carb will hit the transmission. Pretty happy with...

I don't have a picture with it installed but this is how I did it: I'm using a Runcam 5. I couldn't find any non 3d printed cases for it so I used a GoPro Hero 5 case, It's a tight fit but it'll work. The buckle mount is 2 sided taped to a CF plate and mounts to the upper chassis plate on the...

I live in Minnesota and the car is setup for dry pavements. Weather has been very inconsistent so haven't been able to drive it this year yet but the new version incorporates a runcam mounted to the chassis so I'm planning on taking a lot of videos

I'm using a steel Hot Racing 42T spur and a redcat racing 18T hardened clutch bell. The clutch bell needs to be a hardened 1mod. With the power of the big block it'll be shredding the clutch otherwise. I saw them do something similar on mythbusters, except it was with a gun barrel to see if...

I haven't even got the first clue on how to do that lol

I haven't been able to find a hardened clutch bell that's larger then 18T and 1.0 mod.

Currently it has a 40T 1.0mm Robinson Racing spur and 18T hardened clutch bell. It's the smallest toothed spur I could fit without the carb hitting the transmission. I will probably go to a larger spur to help keep the front end down. When it hits 2nd gear even at half throttle it'll lift the...

Not without some modifications. Keep in mind when I went with the Jato mounts I wasn't using the Rustler chassis plate anymore. I had already started using the carbon fiber plate. I'm using a Jato wheelie bar. Everything from the motor mount and back are off the Jato. Made compatibility so much...

Build update #3 Well I've made a lot of progress on my Rustler/Jato build but I decided to throw myself a curveball. I never could get her up to top speed because I couldn't be as aggressive as I would with my Savage or Revo. So far I've hit 54 confirmed with the Traxxas GPS sensor and the bike...

Build update 2: I knew I had to do something with the the exhaust it. If I kept it the way it was, I'd melt the rear tire. If I flipped it forward it'd hit the front tire. I didn't want to use the original U shaped header because I'd have to cut way too much out of the body and it'd be almost...

Build update: The HPI F4.6 was only planned to be temporary because I was going to put it into my Revo big block conversion. Once all the parts came in for that the 2 speed Rustler got pushed aside. Now that the Revo is running like a beast I got back to working on the 2 speed Rustler. I...

The Traxxas carbs can be very hard to tune. I took apart the 2.5r to check compression and there was very little left even though it had maybe a gallon on the motor. Just goes to show how bad the Traxxas break in method is. Which is unfortunate because I kept having issues with the 2.5r and...

I've seen this asked a couple of times so I thought I'd share how I put a 2 speed in my Traxxas Rustler. Some background: This was my first nitro RC. I've been working on cars all my life but my background is IT and Engineering. I got the stadium truck from my dad. He bought it probably close...
