[@IOSALive]

Red BANDIT Racing, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@redbanditracing]

Awesome! Thank you!

You can run the led kit with that bar it goes on the taps of front of the bar

[@Popitforchrist]

cool. now i need to buy a rustler. lmao had one a fue years ago but it always got way to hot and would over heat. ran 3s. thought i got a bad motor and just sold it.

[@jared1401]

I believe traxxas makes a mount that can attach the telemetry module to the chassis brace but don't remember.

[@surfgreenRC]

Nice. When is a video coming about the difference in handling? Why did you choose the plastic housing over the metal one?

[@redbanditracing]

The metal housing is aluminum, the plastic one is pretty strong. I would save the $10 and go with the composite plastic you’re not going to damage it. So far the 1M weight fluid is perfect, not a lot of ballooning, and great grip.

Wish i could send you a picture..you can miunt lifhts with the brace bar, nothing extra needed theres mounting holes perfect for it

[@redbanditracing]

We have a email, and IG page

what motor fan and heatsink are you using on the rustler 4x4

[@redbanditracing]

Traxxas #3458 heat sink, Traxxas fan.

Great video. I have the rustler ultimate and would like to move to a center diff. However, doing so i would loose the speedometer. Do you know of a way to retain that with a center diff?

[@redbanditracing]

Then you will need to use the 6814 center diff with 6539 trigger wheel. But when using that center diff it’s only rated for 2S.

what servo do u use and would you recommend the aluminium motor mount even tho i still have the slipper clutch?

[@dominicmoscardelli4320]

Hi I made this upgrade as well. Ive stripped out 2 pinion gears fairly quickly. Did my best to make sure the fit was correct with the paper method and really cranked down on the motor adjustment screw. Any other thoughts or tips?? Thanks!

[@redbanditracing]

I don’t use the paper method, i do it by feel. Make sure the metal matches pinion and spur, steel/steel, hardened steel/hardened steel.

[@JordanColeman-r8w]

The screw at the bottom that the motor plate keys into is probably lose

[@redbanditracing]

Use red loctite on the motor plate screws, they come loose.

[@carlosdiazsanchez4980]

The Chassis Brace also annoys me... But isn´t it to reduce flex in the car? How would the aluminum Motor Mount help with that without being connected to the front of the car in any way?

[@redbanditracing]

The Aluminum motor mount would help keep the motor secure so the mesh doesn’t change. We are removing the chassis brace and going to the motor mount.

[@joegonzalez4188]

he went too far in - lol

[@redbanditracing]

Too far into what?
