New Record - 82 mph Rustler


Chewed up spur gear after a fast pass.

Sunny broke the record for the fastest Rustler today. His setup:

Traxxas Rustler w/VXL 3500kV, MM ESC and 4S Li-Po 82mph

Sunny said:
Finally broke the 80mph barrier... twice. Once geared 40/68 and the second time geared 40/76. I stripped the 68T spur soon after the 82mph run. I feel that more speed is possible with that set-up.
