    Who remembers the original rustlers that had a ceramic heat sink attached to the motor to keep it cool. And rc cars had mechanical speed controls. Yes, a servo controlled the speed control. There is so much room on the chassis because there used to be more components and they were bigger taking up more room. And I'm thinking the price really hasn't changed much

    Tried to get to 70+ recently. Got to 74 with this:
    1) 76/31 gearing
    2) 17mm conversion $40
    3) Hoons wheels/tires
    4) 3s Traxxas battery
    Wheelie bar helps, higher C rated battery helps, more weight helps. But these aren’t necessary.
    I always give a push start, so my rear driveshafts don’t explode!
    Thanks for the great video Mark!

    I bought my first hobby grade RC last September. It was a Rustler XL-5 I was going to keep stock. After putting bearings in it, now it’s pretty much a VX-L... and I’ve added a Stampede 4x4, Slash 4x4 VXL, E-Revo 2.0, X-Maxx and a Hoss to my fleet. It was a very slippery slope from “keeping it stock” to now.

    The rustler xl5 was my first rc car. Some parts I've upgraded are a 5100kv brushless motor, the Traxxas steel spline constant velocity axles, and the Traxxas wheelie bars. The best upgrades though in my mind are the Hot Racing aluminum transmission case and sealed aluminum differential case. The transmission case alone kept my motor temps way down as I was having troubles with it overheating.

    I always keep a rustler in my collection! I originally started with 2 vintage rustlers, still have them, one has stayed as a rustler, but the other has evolved. Spawning different models. Constant evolution of endless conversions.

    RPM makes a wide arm kit for the rustler 2wd. I ran those with 2.8 trenchers when I had one. Allowed me to do back flips off a ramp. Also, I believe I used Stampede axles. Same part number but with an X at the end.

    Traxxas is a mediocre at best company who likes to steal innovations while simultaneously patenting what others invented. So far, Traxxas has sued Losi, Hobbico, HPI, Redcat, ARRMA, Maclan, Skulldugery, and probably more. This bully known as Traxxas has patented designs that they not only didn't invent, but have been used for years in the industry. The worst part? While Traxxas was suing for simple things like rubber o rings, double servos, or lay down shocks, Traxxas was stealing things like complete car design by TheJang's Chimera A (including the color scheme) and relabeling it a Telluride. Traxxas is a Texas lawyer with some cheap plastic products to sell you in order to kill the market with RTR's like they did HPI.

    Make or find a metal front spoiler and lose the rear on or find a way to put a rustler 4x4 spoiler on the back . The 2wd slopes up to much. Lower it with your slash shock trick and it'll keep it more stable. If you put a spoiler up front, paint it as close to the black and green flow on the car. 🤔

    On the 2wd, a very cheap and easy way to strengthen the front bulkhead is to fill every cavity with epoxy, you can also add tire weights to help keep the front end down while driving. On my slash I use 28g weights stuck in the middle of the front bulkhead and 14g or 1/2oz strapped to each of the front a-arms, really makes the difference while driving at any speed and keeps the center of gravity low.

    You do need more room but the speed gear pulls the wheels up less than stock gearing. Your gearing up so that robs some power from you. Don't get me wrong it will still pull the front up no problem 🤣
