Hey everyone, lets get a thread going here for all the people (including myself)who are asking for quick tips&tricks to make their truck faster! And well because the tips&tricks page is pretty weak. So let's see it!

the jang has already stated this, but you can dremel out that plate where the msc was mounted so you can mount your battery farther back for more traction, and it also allows you to use a 7cell flat pack if desired.

New tires.

For onroad, I reccommend Road Rages by proline.

For offroad racing, see what the wininng drivers are running on your track and try that setup.

For bashing, Dirt Hawgs, and Masher 2ks are my weapons of choice.

if your a hard core basher,make a cheap,metal motor guard to protect the motor.the old msc mount can be bent,and screwed onto the gearbox.this can save you from the tragety of haveing to bend open and drill out a brush compartment.(<----that's a pain!)

Just an idea, because I don't know how to do this, but easy ways to make the rustler ride lower. Lower the CG, etc.
