Nitro? Electric? Technically the answer is Yes to both.
Started life as a very old and well used nitro rustler with the .15 motor. Motor was about cooked as were the electronics and starter, so I took it under the wrench. Now sporting a 272r transmission in a mid-motor configuration, custom designed and printed tail mount for the wheelie bar, found a printable conversion that used the old nitro trans and altered that to be only a battery tray. Front is all stock nitro rustler. Maintained the stock top plate and everything.
•Things to still do:
•Make an esc mounting plate
•Mount electronics (10bl120 sensored esc, justock 10.5 sensored motor)
•Find wheels and tires(probably going to use an old set of SC tires for now)
•Get a new body(still has old body at least 20 years old I'd guess by brittleness)
•tune suspension springs and oil
Let me know what y'all think! Questions? Suggestions? Any similar custom builds?
