How different is the chassis and components compared to the Rustler?

I'm not an expert, but I have been shopping parts to turn my Bandit into a Rustler. You darn near have to swap out most the components, and the chassis to do so. The rustler has a larger wheel base, especially in the front for the wider tires, and I believe the chassis is a little shorter on the rustlers. I really want that on my bandit for better control

Basically the same other than the track or width between wheels, and the wheel hubs

chassis is almost same , but not really.it is 2wd, awesome loving truck, acually really better than rustler.I have almost all the traxxas models even the rustler and bandit.The tyres are smaller than rustler.The ground clearence is lower than rustler.Can run on grass, (offroad type terrain) but rustler cant. so my opinion is BANDIT is much better than rustler. Sleaky design better than rustler, and the spoiler is also awesome.Both have the same speed if we use everything stock, but rustler cant be used on a little rought terrains.I hope it helped LIAM M.ENJOY!!LIVE HAPPILY,ASHMEET SINGH chassis is almost same , but not really.it is 2wd, awesome loving truck, acually really better than rustler.I have almost all the traxxas models even the rustler and bandit.The tyres are smaller than rustler.The ground clearence is lower than rustler.Can run on grass, (offroad type terrain) but rustler cant. so my opinion is BANDIT is much better than rustler.

304 stainless will not rust. i believe the difference basically is that one is alloyed with nickel the other with chromium.chromium alloys are much whiter.

Not sure about fitting the rustler, but it was an easy swap in my slash. I also ran on NIMh. But in order to do that you need to either purchase the connector cable or know someone with it. With the connector you can set the speed controller to recognize nimh and shut OFF the low voltage detector. They come from the factory set with that detector ON, so it will think your NiMH is just lipo with low voltage and not run the truck. Most hobby shops will make the 2 second adjustment for you for free with their own castle link connector. I bought one because its cheap and gives you full adjustability of the setup.

I have no clue. I do know that ours has 3 rust spots on it, after less than a year. Very disappointing quality, especially for the outrageous price I paid.

Hello, the advantage of the "Summit" in comparison to "Rustler" I see four wheel drive! It is easier and more accurate than driving the Rustler, at just decent acceleration and top speed. The "Stamped" I see more than crawler, this vehicle is not as to the speed. If your budged slightly larger, I would recommend the 1/8 "Summit", which has some more options and an impressive size. I hope I could help a little. Greetings from Switzerland.

Sam, I only have the Honcho, so I couldn't really compare the two. But, I do believe they're the same chassis, just different bodies. I am a Toyota tech, and the honcho looks exactly like a Tacoma that I have, so that is why I picked it. And it is truly awesome. I want to buy another if my wife would let me. But she'd kill me.

It fit right into my stampede, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't fit into a rustler. Sure you can run it on a nimh.

Either one. Depends on what tires you go with. The Rustler is very versatile.

One is an economy car the other is a Cadillac??? The Rock Chucker is a "single stage" (one step at a time) system. A progressive system is designed (often uses a turret design) where multiple stages (steps) will function at the same time. I know there are some videos on YouTube that can demonstrate them and should be informative. RCBS has progressive presses as well. I did a LOT of research on loading presses before I jumped in (also ask friends opinions if possible). Some are better than others, but they all do the job for the most part. I would say it mostly depends on how often you will be using it and how much you want to invest moneywise. I would also purchase a reloader manual prior to making a decision (they nearly all cover the various types of systems). Hope this helps.

I have the Rustler myself, and yes for it, you will need the expansion kit. As far as the Stampede, I don't really know on it. Hope this helps..

I have these on my Rustler VXL. I have never had a problem with them. But they are too long for the stock Bandit rear arms but no one said you can't buy rear arms that will work with these driveshafts. Install Rustler or Stampede rear arms.

No, they differ in design. Also, are you sure you have an xterra because they started production in 99 not 98

No difference. Same hitch. Mine didn't come with a cool logo sticker on the back though:) If I could travel back in time I would get one with a folding shank. My cargo carrier was side swiped by person with not so good eyesight.

Yes it will. The set was designed for the Slash, but the Rustler shares many of the same parts. It fits.

They are the same hex so they will fit, they may be a little big for the Rustler.

I'm sorry I don't know your answer... it was a basic kit of several sizes of screws for the Rustler. They seem to be a good product (I haven't rusted them yet). And this pack was cheaper online than my local hobby store.

I would consider it all terrain. I have had an R6 for many years and loved it, however while it did work outdoors, over grass, gravel, dirt, etc, it involved a little more effort to pull it - and also with less of a load, so double the work - because of the smaller front wheels. The R12 on the other hand is fantastic so far on all surfaces with its larger and wider front wheels. Again, it depends on the 'use' situation and the load, for example I have not used it in a muddy situation yet. That said, I've been very pleased with mine and am wondering why i did not get the R12 sooner.
