/diy/ - Do It Yourself

You guys do RC cars at all, or just multirotors? I've been out of RC for a few years, wanted to see if I missed anything putting a Rustler together. This is based on the old weakpoints of the Traxxas 2wd platform I knew fairly well. Just want it to not really break unless I crash hard, but handle/drive better than the shit-tier stuff they give you in the RTRs.
>Ebay rolling chassis, transmission, Ultra shocks
>aluminum shock caps
>hardened shock shafts
>Losi XXX series springs
>Aluminum caster blocks
>RPM wide front A-arms/appropriate camber/steering links to be able to rotate tires
>various "quality-yet-chinkshit" electronics
Also, Proline discontinuing all Rustler bodies makes me a little sad.
