I was just wondering if getting ball bearings for the Traxxas Rustler is a good idea and if it would save batteries. I have a Traxxas Slash (which has ball bearings) and it lasts longer with the batteries
ok the rustler should come with ball bearings and if not then of course but if i were you stay with the regular nylon shielded ball bearings cause they mite try to sell you something that you dont need and always remember to support your local hobby shop so you should try they dont have much up on their web site but they have a huge selection in house so just give them a call and they will send it to you for cheep!!!
try okorder man that is were i get all my stuff for my MGT 4.6 SE nitro but they have a lot of electric car truck truggy buggy stuff man
I assume your Ruster is (or was) an XL-5. You really need to get bearings because bushings are a think of the past. They keep the car from going very fast, hence getting better run times. Now you have choices. You can get the stock Traxxas VXL Carriers/bearings bearings, RPM Carriers/Traxxas Bearings, or STRC Carriers/bearings. I would NOT get the stock Traxxas VXL carriers, and it your tight on money get the RPM carriers with Traxxas Bearings. I would FOR SURE get STRC carriers, and these come with bearings for only $15-20 each. Don't forget about steering blocks. Good luck with your Ruster and Slash!
