Just trying to figure out where these Philips screws go that came with these rear ones, can't go where I've got it as that's as far as it goes in, strange 

Traxxas doesn't come with Philips...

Strange.

very strange...

I see something blue that seems not to belong there.  (sorry)

 

And I believe the green springs will make it look perfect.

[Jens]

I noticed something else.

You have the low battery holder. Are you running 2S Lipos?

I changed mine to the high battery holder using 3S Lipos with 6200mAh.

They really give the car a punch.

Even wheelies while running.

Ok. They are expensive. Probably that's why they are smaller with similar capacity.

For that price I got 2x 6200mAh, but thicker.

Not sure if that's really important. Nobody gonna see them once the wheels are mounted.

Those are my batteries:

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T1QMVGX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I have to use the higher holder.

 

I have now 4 of them. Perfect for 1 day of bashing.

( In stock!! )

But you need some adapter to fix to the Rustler.

Can't remember where I saw it.

Maybe "any" type of green wheel could fit...

If you get the inner diameter and then try your luck on ebay.

I find many things there not related to RC but can be used.

Must admit. I run these in my Rustler 4x4. Im going to be honest, theyre not as powerful as the sound..... they should perform a lot better for their “spec”. 
 

Ive got some HRB’s and Gens Ace 3S lipo’s with a lower mah/c rating that perform MUCH better

Have to admit that you might be right.

I can't have highly performing Batteries for that price.

 

[Tingting44]

Well I can't be bothered ordering any more or waiting, just want to get it rolling now, leaving it today for all the loctite to cure and will take it for a test run sometime next week (why an earth does this forum turn my pics upside down, it's so annoying editing them)

[Tingting44]

I'm sat here waiting for my loctite to cure like as the traxxas screws come with hardened loctite all ready on them, but just read this, so loctite won't dry like this with the air on it? (PS ive just seen you can get GREEN loctite! OMG! lol)

 

This is from Google 

 

Does Loctite dry in air?

Actually, Loctite doesn't dry, it cures in the absense of air. Unless used on stainless steel, it will cure in minutes after you assemble the parts. Any excess on the outside, exposed to air will not cure.

Thanks mate, got a few green bits for the shell too, wing and roof skid plate, did want the lights but the wifes moaning about bank statements 😞 im just going with how it is now, ive not got all i wanted, upgraded driveshafts, all green ali camber links, green shock springs, upgraded wheely bar wheels, green alu front and rear mounts but its how its going to be running next.... did fire it up last night to see if the new fan and everything worked, all looked and sounded fine, also going to be using my stock wheel and tyres for now (taylons) as cant be spending £100 on belted trenchers just at the mo loool, will be interesting to see how it goes with changing from 11/54 to 15/54 and now running an ESC fan 😛

[Stormbringer]

Unfortunately they can run away with the money but its more or less what you want now so get running it mate 

[Tingting44]

Yeah thanks mate 😊

 

One other thing I notice, do the teflon washers have to be a certain way? Wouldn't surprise me, as one side is smooth and the other is not

[Stormbringer]

sorry mate no idea as i dont have 1 of these 

[Tingting44]

She runs...

[Stormbringer]

Always a bonus when it works
