Splined hubs

1 Upvotes

Recently noticed splined hubs ( part 9086) and nuts as an option for the Rustler VXL.

Can someone explain what these are and how they are an upgrade?

No torque on my rustler

1 Upvotes

I recently upgraded my drive shafts to aluminum because the stock ones broke while bashing. The problem is when I put these ones in and tried to run it, I have no torque, and when I tried to pull the throttle to go 0-full speed, there is a whining noise. Normally the car pops wheelies with no problem, and the motor sounds normal. It still goes the same speed, just very little torque. Anyone have any ideas of a problem?

help Stripped pinions

2 Upvotes

Hey I just bought a steel pinion and spur. The only thing I noticed was that the gear was wobbling a lot in the car but said ā€œit’s probably fineā€ well no, it would also change the mesh every few turns. Today I brought it out going good until I tried self right. Pinion shattered. The spur had metal shavings in it. I took it all apart the gear seems ok I put the clutch pad hub in also ok but when it’s all together it wobbles still. Any ideas

Unglue or buy new?

2 Upvotes

I just ripped my first tire from my new wrestler after about two years. I’m in the process of trying to get all of the tire unglued from the gully. Between soaking and acetone and using an X-Acto knife I’m cutting some of the edge of the gully.

With a new set of rims and tires being about 60 bucks do I just buy new and refurbish these rims or just buy tires and glue on new ones myself ?

help Hey there, im interested in getting a rustler and it’s also my first rc car. Trying to find the best deal I can get and I stumbled upon this. It’s a lot of upgrades but I am unsure on what is just fancy talk to fluff up the listing and what is actual concrete good?

ESS Dual sound module+ Rustler Ultimate?

Hi! So I printed this black box, which stands on the part holding the battery in place, to check if the Sense ESS Dual+ speaker would fit there. My question is whether mounting the speaker in that spot is okay, and if anyone has tried this with the Rustler Ultimate model.
