Oh ya by the way its pretty damn cool having the EXCLUSIVE on the Nitro rustler guys.
Guess I'm the only one with one worth looking at LMAO

Ok so i didnt get the a-arms on but i did finally get a chance to run it.
I have to say it handles great, BUT.........My old HPI Nitro Rush would have smoked it as far as top speed goes.
I see the 2.5 in its future lol
