2. Upgrade Parts‎ > ‎

Rustler

These are all the upgrade parts that will strengthen your Truck and make it more durable, it excludes things like Electronics, Radio Systems and Batteries/Chargers


Bumper's

For a bumper you have two smart options, RPM make a great Bumper for around $6, but another great company is T-Bone Racing (TBR), they make both front and rear Bumpers for the Rustler:
RPM Bumper $5.95

TBR Bumper Set
(Front and Rear) $17.95



Casters

As for Caster Blocks, just go with Traxxas:
Traxxas Casters $18.95




Carriers

And then for Carriers it is mixed, some people like Aluminum and others
like Nylon, I prefer
Nylon, so I have RPM Carriers all
round, but i f you want Aluminum, go with STRC:
Front RPM Carriers $6.95
Rear RPM Carriers $6.95

Front STRC Carriers $16.99
Rear STRC Carriers $14.95
Rear STRC Carriers with 1° Toe In
$19.49



A-Arm's

For A-Arm's the best ones are RPM as well:
Front A-Arms $8.95
Rear A-Arms $8.95




Shock's

As for Shock's, with their Titanium Shock shafts and Aluminum body's Traxxas's Big Bores win out:
Full set of Bog Bores with Springs $49.99
Front Big Bores $23.95
Rear Big Bores $24.95




Gear's

32p Gears, there are several brands that make them, I just get the Traxxas Pinion's and Spur's and like them a lot, but some other people like the Robinson Racing Pinions:
Traxxas 32p Pinions $2.79-2.99
Traxxas 32p Spurs $2.59

Robinson Racing 32p Pinions $2.95



Bulkhead

There aren't that many choices when it comes to bulkheads, so I would just stick to an STRC or FLM bulkhead:
STRC Bulkhead 21.95

FLM Bulkhead 29.95




Shock Tower's


For Shock Towers, I would just go with RPM (I am a big RPM fan), but some people complain about them giving too much flex, so if you want Aluminum Tower's go with or STRC or FLM:
Front RPM Shock Tower $5.95
Rear RPM Shock Tower $6.95

Front STRC Shock Tower $16.95
Rear STRC Shock Tower $19.95

FLM Front Shock Tower $15.00
FLM Rear Shock Tower $24.00




Bellcrank

If you want to
get an Aluminum Bellcrank to stiffen up your steering, get a Traxxas or STRC, I have heard the STRC Bellcrank has less slop:
Traxxas Bellcrank $24.99

STRC Bellcrank $26.99




Pin's and Turnbuckle's

If you are having problems with bending you Pin's or Turnbuckle's, get some Lunsford Turnbuckle's and Pin's:
Lunsford Turnbuckles $44.95
Lunsford Pins 17.95
Lunsford Turnbuckles/Pins $59.95




Transmission Case

If you want to get an Aluminum Transmission Case, the best one made is the FLM Case, but it's $60.  So if you are willing to settle for the second best, the GH Case is great, and it's only
$35.99, it's the one I have:
Transmission Case with 1deg toe in $54.95
Transmission Case with 4deg toe in $60.00

GH Transmission Case Blue
$35.99
GH Transmission Case Silver $35.99



CVD's

Lastly if you want Steel CVD's (Constant Velocity Drive-shafts), I have heard great things about the FLM set:
FLM CVD's $44.95




Chassis

If you want to take it one step further, you can get an Aluminum Chassis, FLM is by far the best way to go, but unless you are just an On-Road Racer, I would tend to stick to a Plastic Chassis:
FLM Chassis $60.00
FLM Extended Chassis $68.00
