RE: Upgrade question about Rustler?
The old rustlers used a servo for the MSC, but you probally have a newer one with a xl-5 esc so you only have the 1 servo.

Converting PC power supply Q
This is an atx with a on/off toggle switch, It has a green (ps on) and a grey (power good) wire, I connect the green to a red wire (+5v.) ...wont turn on. I connect the grey to a red wire...wont turn on. when I connect the green to grey it runs but the +12 v. will jump between 12.1 then down to 11.5 real sparattic. Is this pc supply shot or is there something ive overlooked ? Ive done 3 others and havent run into this before. Any help is appreciated.

RE: New racer Slash disaster .....HELP
For the nose diving, try staying in the throttle longer after launching. that should keep the nose up better. For faster steering, try to steer off throttle or at least half. steering full throttle with a 2wd it will push real bad.

RE: First Off-Road Kit Build (Help, anyone?)
The f-150 esc isnt waterproff, you would need a traxxas xl-5 and servo for waterproof. And being its 2wd mite not work in a plowed field.[&o] maby look at the traxxas stampede 4x4 or any 4x4 short course truck.

RE: xtm xcellerator no start
Another thing, when you took the engine apart and put it back together you may have moved the carb needles. Check the manual or look up the manual online to find factory settings.

RE: xtm xcellerator no start
Was the car running when you bought it ? Check your glo plug...take the plug out of the engine and put it in the igniter. It should turn bright red.
