Default Mid Motored Traxxas Rustler/Bandit

Mid motor converted Traxxas Rustler/Bandit

Brushless ESC and Motor

Just needs Radio and Saddle pack battery to run.


Hi for sale is my custom built mid motored traxxas rustler totaly scratch built by hand. It started off life as a normal Traxxas Rustler VXL. But then i got bored and decided to moddify it.
The rustlers as stock are just Bashers. So i set out to make it into a decent handeling buggy that would handle a race track as well as most of the top Buggys out their.

The chassis and gear box where modified so that the rustler now runs the motor infront of the rear wheels instead of behined, but without making the wheel base longer so it still turns in sharply and changes direction fast.

A Carbon fiber top deck was added over the the battery tray, and this now holds the Brushless ESC and saddle pack LiPo battery's. all the electronics and wires are hidden and concealed beneath the carbon fiber deck, to keep it looking non clutterd and improving airflow throught the shell and in turn cooling of the ESC.

I then added 6 super bright LED's to the underneath of the chassis. just for looks mainly, these can be run off of the 3rd channel of your radio, or can be hooked up to a standalone power source if you need to.

The front end of the car has also been modified, it is now 4" wider at the front than the stock width, improving stability in the corners.

This is a stunning RC car, and is a complete one off. You can read the full build thread of the car at http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/99...andit-project/

The RPM parts also offer a lifetime garentee, If you even manage to break an RPM part you just send it back to RPM and they send you a brand new one for free. So you dont have to worry about breaking arms or shock towers EVER!


The specs are:

Aeolian 80amp ESC

9T 4300 KVA Ezrun Motor

RPM rear arms

RPM rear arms on the front

RPM front shock tower

RPM rear shock tower

Hobao 16mm big bore shock's

Chassis ryt died in black

Brand new Traxxas wheels and tyres

Brand new Traxxas waterproof Digi servo

RPM front bumper

Carbon Fiber top deck

6 Green LED lights mounted underneath the chassis. (runs off of AUX channel on my futaba radio)

ALL brand new High tensile hex head screws.



This is an awsome RC much better than a standerd VXL rustler/bandit.
