Thank you. And yeah more than likely but it still seemed a little fragile for my taste.

Other than the known flaws, like shock caps, steering servo and difficult to mount body, there is nothing wrong with this truck if you understand its category and use it that way, and handles 3S lipo's like a dream. Off-road, yes, but classified as a stadium truck it won't go through a cornfield. I haven't broken anything on mine, which is over 4 years old, other than the obvious parts for reasons. I'd recommend this truck to anyone.

To each their own. It’s a fun truck but mine wouldn’t hold up. If they would switch to dogbone driveshafts it would be a game changer.

This truck needs the metal drive shafts for sure. I upgraded to the traxxas metal drive shafts because the plastic ones kept snapping.

Haven't had a failure with mine yet *knock on wood*. The biggest issue I have is putting the damn body back on, such a pain to get that front tab in, much easier on the maxx and xmaxx.
@Oni_Blxck Жыл бұрын
The body can be annoying to get back on. Certainly not as easy as an e revo 2.0. Fingers crossed you don’t have to deal with driveshaft issues.

Mine spends most of its time broken but at least i can watch the neighbors have fun with their cars. Rustler is total garbage dont waste your money!
@Oni_Blxck3 күн бұрын
Yeah I had that same problem. It was fun when it worked but it was rare that it didn’t break shortly into the drive and it would break for no reason. I traded mine and haven’t looked back.

Np drivetrain problems at all. 3S doesn't like Louisiana, heat, but beyond that mine is solid.

I’ve heard so many different kinds of experiences with this truck. Maybe a qc issue with the one I got? Not sure but it is a fun car for sure.

Go for the Tekno M6 driveshafts. $40 a pair been running mine for years very lightweight too.

It's a good car got mine 3 days ago frist one never broken any yet just ground clearnce is a problem sounds so bad when you go off jumps maybe different tiers or suspension will help me other then that good buy 😊
@Oni_Blxck2 ай бұрын
It’s definitely a fun car. Couple areas that need upgrades but you’re right about ground clearance. There’s a follow up video on the channel where I address that and upgrade it.

100 for the price of these vehicles they should be able to handle three yes no problem without anything breaking especially not running a whole battery through. Mine has upgraded driveshafts and so far have been phenomenal

That really does seem to be the big thing holding this car back. I wish Traxxas would redesign them.

Yeah it’s a pretty big issue with those. I wish they would’ve done a dogbone style on the ultimate but no such luck 🤷🏻

How is it not going to break, you are all over the place and very rough right out of the box…? Is it an off road rc? For it’s velocity, it seems to me as a racing car, but we’re very much off reading it all over the place. Well, it’s my comment!😊
@Oni_Blxck8 ай бұрын
It’s meant for off-road, speed, and stability. The fact that it can’t do that without about $250 in upgrades is something that I think people should know. It’s not a bad car but considering it costs $400 and broke constantly without me hitting anything is just crazy.

@@Oni_BlxckI just saved a ton of money by buying a “slider” or “roller”. I have a 2WD rustler Vxl with a ton of upgrades and got a 4x4 rustler ultimate roller on eBay for 240. Has aluminum upgrades already I can just swap my electronics and shocks and I’m off to go

hello there can ask question … I mean after this one LOL but seriously will the driveshafts be okay under to cell Lipo? What's your opinion I need to ask
@Oni_Blxck Жыл бұрын
2s lipo would be fine and in my opinion is where the truck is meant to be run. It can technically take 3s but it’s not worth the money you’ll spend in parts to fix it.

@@Oni_Blxck’d argue having mine for 3 years it depends how you drive it I always run on 3s gens ace and a dusty motor cover never cooked it or overheated and only broken 2 driveshafts with the bigger sledgehammer tyres in 2 years thought I found that jumps caused the damage aluminium shock caps are a must and an upgraded steering servo as-well, which stock gave out after 2 years on the whole it runs amazing and 3s is the sweet spot for a rustler.
@Oni_Blxck Жыл бұрын
I’ve heard that other people haven’t had issues so maybe I got a dud. With that said I drive very aggressively and I’ve never had an issue until the rustler. In 3s I’ll take the arrma line any day for durability, price, and functionality.
