NITRO RUSTLER Hop-Ups reviews on parts I use on my own Rusty.  Pics are links to that company

BuBro Body Klips Retainers. These things are great! I have them on both bodies I have finished myself and havent lost the first body clip. Avaliable in many colors

DuBro Inline Fuel Filter. These are a great way to get a little more runtime if you land on lid. Also keep trash out of motor. Several color of them as well.

RPM FRONT BUMPER-This piece of plastic has seen more abuse than any other part on car & still looks new. Should be 1st investment.

RPM SHOCK CUPS-These have held up alot better than stock ones
 
RPM TRX 2.5 HEAD GUARD-Tougher thicker pastic to protect your Traxxas motor

HPI 5 STAR RIMS-I got these in black to hide all the dings left from the abuse that show up easily on chrome rims. They take a good beating and ask for more

PRO-LINE SPEED HAWG TIRES-These tires hold up well under nitro power. 6 months with plenty of tread left.



PRO-LINE GMC TRUCK BODY-Has held up well under pretty severe bashings. Only showing a little wear(some cracks)



PRO-LINE GLADIATOR2 Tires-These are a real good multi-surface tire. Grip well on grass, gravel, and dirt.

NEW ERA RACING-WOW where to start here. I have a full chassis upgrade of aluminum from NEW ERA. Not the first problem or bent piece yet! Just lots 'o ' polishing.

RC PARTS ALUMINUM STEERING BELLCRANKS-One of the best hop-ups to help with the Rustlers steering woes.

LUNSFORD TITANIUM TURNBUCKLES-These things are sweet & lightweight. Add a more responsive feel to steering that is needed for a Rusty.

CVEC TUNEABLE PIPES-My latest hop-up. Sounds better than anypipe I have heard. Adds to the power of the TRX 2.5. Seems to leak fuel for some reason but still working out the bugs on it.

MIP CVD's-Well this hop-up has proven to be a little of a pain. I think in combination of the weight from all the aluminum & the strength from the MIP CVD's verses the stock plastic bones I went through 2 sets of the planet gears in my transmission plus crack a MIP dog bone(MIP gave me super customer support). BUT! I have installed a PRO-BALL DIFFERENTIAL now to replace planet gears & everything seems to be working great! This is 1 of the first steps to a bulletproof chassis

TRINITY 8.5lbs SPRINGS(BLUE)-They claim these T-MAXX springs not to bottom out. They still do a little on xtreme jumps. Probably would not bottom on a T-MAXX with 2 on each wheel. Very firm spring I run them in the rear on stock shocks at this point in time.

TEAM LOSI SILVER SPRINGS-This is a medium strength spring I run on the front shocks.

PRO_BALL DIFFERENTIAL-This is a TRAXXAS Hop-Up. It is wonderful. You can adjust rearend slippage on it along with slipper clutch. I run it fairly tight so there is little slipping of the wheels. Holds up very well.

PARMA 57 CHEVY TRUCK BODY-Noce body only a couple mold defects. Other than that its ok.

RD RACING-CARBON FIBER-This is some cool looking stuff.  Very lightweight.  I have the upper chassis, brake, & tiebar.
 
RD RACING TITANIUM HINGE PINS-Another top notch lightweight product.

HOLESHOT ENGINEERING-CARBON FIER LOWER CHASSIS- This is a sweet lightweight piece that is a one-of-kind, never seen it made by anybody else.  Looks great.

VENOM RACING SPEED METER-This a nice way to be able to brag about how fast you are and prove it

FUTABA MAGNUM 2PL CONTROLER-LCD screen, battery meter, 10 model memory, anti-lock brakes and much more.  Nice 2-channel controler.  2 standard S3003 servos included.

DURATRAX HUMP PAK-Gives you a little faster reaction time to servos than standard batteries.

DYNAMITE FAIL SAFE-Never lose control when its out of control.  Shuts down truck when there is interference with the radio.

BRAIDED.CO.UK STAINLESS STEEL LINES-This is a nice detail touch to any RC vehicle.
