Love the vids! soooo a 54 tooth hotracing spur? and dif and troubles? Stock gearing? keep it up love the vids on the rusty btw u should name 1 of the bandits smoky
Aluminum and steel different use never seize, gray badass, lubricant, between steel and aluminum, I use it on all parts, use it on the spines, for center drive shafts, put a o ring on the splines before putting drive shafts on, keeps the. Center shafts from moving back and forth, and shim, the shafts on the slipper clutch, where it goes in the rear diff, keeps the rear gears in perfect mesh,
Great video, very detailed showing each step. I’m just curious if you may know what could cause my Rustler 4WD to stop popping wheelies!?! I’ve adjusted the shipper clutch and still no wheelies. I may just take this all apart and see if something may be stuck or not working as it should. I didn’t see or hear you mention anything about applying any grease or oil on the bearings, shaft, etc. Did you put a drop of oil or a slight rub of grease prior to reassembly? PLMK if you may have any thoughts or insights. Trying to get my grandson’s truck up and running. Thank you again for the videos and your time. 😎🙏🏼
Definitely don’t oil the bearings, they are sealed and if they are worn just replace them. If you’ve already adjusted the slipper (fully tight, then back off 1 turn) then I would remove the slipper assembly and clean the pads and disc. Sometimes the pads can get glazed along with the disc. Using a scotch pad can clean those up good. You may need a rebuild kit if that doesn’t work.
What part number is that spur gear? I ordered one a few weeks ago and it must have been for the 2WD cause it had a huge offset? Definitely wouldn’t work in the VXL. Also, the Rustler VXL is now coming with the extreme duty kit minus the strut towers. Great vid, also, differential gear oil may play a part but we run ours hard in the street damn near every afternoon and we have the slipper clutches set a 1/2 turn off of full tight. You get just enough bite to barely wheelie.
What’s up man, I swapped out the bl2s for VXL in my stampede, new slipper clutch, put all X0-1 gears in the diffs and still blew them out, then when I loosen the slipper, it’s too loose and won’t wheelie. Any recommendations or maybe switch to center diff?
Are you using the stock gear ratio? If you are changing out diff gears with anything but stock, make sure to check backlash between pinion and ring gear. A center diff is great to have, I’ll be switching eventually.
What was the problem in the first place bc my rustler is basically just not moving it’s locked up not the diffs or motor so I’m assuming it’s the slipper clutch am I right?
Thank you
Great video took me a couple of weeks to get to it ... but extremely helpful. I think you spread confidence with these types of videos.
Thank you

Stock gear ration, HR works great. Never had diff issues on the Rustler, runs great. Smokey with a little red siren on it haha
@@redbanditracing Yes but ok thank you guys
What are the odds? Looking for this exact video and you uploaded this today... i feel blessed lol
Thanks man.
Glad it could help, list other videos you’d like to see.

When is Rustler getting a center diff?
I’d say sooner than later

Hot Racing SJT254, for the 4x4 VXL.

Have you tried tightening the slipper all the way to see if it catches and moves?
Why would you stay from the aluminum?
We stay away from aluminum because it bends
