I use the sidewinder's but you just need to make sure the truck is set up for it,a wheelie bar kit would come in handy as well.I really like the EZ Run 4000 that I have in my Rusty but I know they don't stay in stock long.
Got it. Even the stock brushed motor made it pretty loose in soft dirt. I do not want to put too much money in this Rustler but would like to power it to get more acceleration/torque to clear jumps. It would be great to hear from any Rustler owners who have successfully repowered to brushless and can give me setup info such as gear ratios, tires, etc. Thanks all for the help.
