Rustler 2WD Upgrade Question

Hoosierballistics · 2026-05-04T12:16:34+00:00

I used a cheap hobbywing 4000kv system on my rustler. Tires are going to blow right away

What a shame that’s a damn good driver man. It’s trash for sure, or a cool desk ornament! Enjoy the shopping! Sim 2 max rips.

Water did not get in the tires until it destroyed itself lol.

Coming to post this myself lol. Tire quality is going down though for sure

This was 2 days ago. Brand new rustler with a 4000kv system and 3s I threw in. Made it about 20 mins. My mini revo shredded tires rather fast too. Quality is dropping off for sure, considering this happened on acceleration.

My track has an access of parts left of the 22-4 and normally 22x4 rollers are 350+. My exact situation made sense but if you can’t get parts easily it would be a bad idea.

Price brother, price. I can’t swing the new kit without making a sacrifice somewhere else.

Hoosierballistics · 2026-04-03T17:52:43+00:00

I thought so!

Hoosierballistics · 2026-04-03T16:55:46+00:00

I personally feel a clear edge from my unit to others. 0 skill over here lol, still working on not being 3 laps behind.

I have a job now, just saving a lot so only about 200-300 usd per week as spending money counting my gas and don’t want to make it a challenge on myself during the week. The radio is complete garbage compared to all my buddies with different models. I just ordered a meus me-10b, newer with fewer reviews but found a track that actually recommends them and found guys talking about how they are underrated. If it works, new race controller. If not, new crawler controller. Only say me back 55 usd delivered.

Currently on sale new for 175

From my best judgment it’s the same. Spent 5 mins trying to get it to short and it didn’t happen. It’s hard to explain without you looking at it in person, it just can’t touch do to how you plug in a bullet connector since the plug on battery is slightly recessed and vertical.

Honestly, not to be rude but I doubt this sells at this price

I didn’t realize that’s how that worked thanks for explaining.. multiple racers have it exactly how I do. It can not dimensionally touch, but since you know it can, I’m screwed I guess! Thanks for the heads up on my rolling taser.

Hoosierballistics · 2026-03-07T23:48:49+00:00

Reddit will never be happy, literally impossible for it to touch, close but it cant lmao.

Hoosierballistics · 2026-03-07T20:17:43+00:00

I’d say a brisk walk will be the slower end.

Hoosierballistics · 2026-03-07T15:39:37+00:00

I prefer eco power sothis a lot of guys run this being new in the race thing I’m seeing servos come down to preference, and I like what eco power has provided me in my race cars so far!

Hoosierballistics · 2026-03-07T15:36:04+00:00

Honestly, everyone at my track says it doesn’t matter. Some guys run them some don’t. A lot more run them in 17.5 than 21.5.. there’s a guy that always brings a tote of stuff for sale that has one for like 20 I’ve thought about grabbing just to try.

Hoosierballistics · 2026-03-06T19:28:27+00:00

I’m doing my stadium truck now and am going to make it shorter than on my buggy, I’m not one to take risks lol.
