Before you spend all sorts of money upgrading the thing, check out what classes your local track has to offer. Stock/spec sct is a popular club level class. The top finisher at my track in spec sct drives a slash. This is, IMO, the best way for anyone to start out racing. Slower, durable cars that do not need very much money thrown at them to be competitive.

Thanks guys for all of your help and ideas.... Yea I am just going to enter with my truck being stock.... then I guess I can figure out what needs to be improved and what not.
As far as tranny.... should I change anything there since I am going to a BL setup? Or just keep EVERYTHING stock?

I picked up some RPM rear arms for a rustler not knowing they are a lot wider... IM thinking of running a widetrack slash for a while! LOL!..... But I do need a RUSTLER chassis.... LMK if anyone can help! That the last piece I need for now!

The Slash is bashed entirely too much on this forum. It might not be the best race truck, but it isn't bad. It's very stable and forgiving. Only thing that I really hated about the Slash is that sometimes it's just really hard to get the nose back down off a jump.

I installed one of these in my sons truck and he is second place in points. Seems to handle almost as good as my Kyosho and more durable.
