I just went back and looked at my old photos and found my old rustler. You inspired me back in the day bro and got me into this shit. Hope all is well gio.
Nice work. I don’t like too much aluminum on mine but just in weak areas. I do have a massive heavy 4s 4500mah 90C battery from SMC. I should’ve checked the specs before getting it. Each of my sons have the much lighter 3700kv version . Anyway here’s mine: Ford GT Black 35/62 gearing Holmes Hobbies 2700kv Puller Pro Mamba X Spektrum glitch buster Hot Racing motor fan heatsink Bastens heatsink GPM front shock tower GPM aluminum tie rods with stabilizers Front/Rear: 40wt/35wt shock oil Front/Rear: 4mm/4mm preload Acer interior ceramic bearings Front/Rear: 100k/10k diff oil Front: Contact foam tires 26mm 40shore Rear: BSR foam 45mm 32shore GPS’d at 65mph. I can gear higher but no need. I love the combination of speed, acceleration, and handling. The stock servo is good enough although I have several high end servos I can use in case the stocker craps out
Man what a cool video I just got into the 4-tec 2.0. I'm sitting here looking at it like what kind of upgrades can I do and I saw your channel LOL. Thanks for making the the vid. What breaks the fastest just with regular wear and tear. And also man it's so much fun drifting with this one. Mine is just stock and I'm having a blast with it
Nice build Gio 👍🏻 Be glad you did not travel down for Bike Week. Daytona Beach Police shut down the whole city due to the Corona virus. Anyways man thanks for sharing the video and I will catch you later Bro ✌🏻
I’m sorry to have to say this but this is ridiculously stupid. I’ve been racing RC cars for over twenty years and people who do this to RC cars never really drive them. All that aluminum weighs the car down and when you wreck it instead of something just breaking because it was plastic now it just bends because you put on super fancy aluminum. Congratulations you’ve built a parking lot queen.
@@krismolina_ first off learn to spell dick head. And no why would I be jealous of stupidity? There is always some shit big who likes to defend someone they don’t even know.
I know, its been 4 years, but ill give it a go anymay. My 2.0 makes the same clicking/grinding noise, when i move it (motor is out) I bought it second hand and the noise is comming from the differential. I disassembled it and moved the gear, that connects to the center drive shaft a bit back - it went away. My worry is, that its not secured in place in any way, so it could just slip out of the bearing again and start grinding. Should there be some kind of a stopper or a shim, that prevents that gear from moving back and forth? Is there a way to somehow glue it to the bearing, so it does not slip out anymore?
Hey thanks for all the info. I'm in Daytona also and would live to see the 4tech. I recently aquired one on a trade what do you think of gyros for speed runs?
Ummm! And uhhh and ummm ... lol nice video Bro. Getting 1 tomorrow.. does all that makes it run that much better than stock 70mph as far as drivability?
It looks like he has the stock ESC and motor so it probably not quicker unless you change out the pinion gear that can make a big difference. I'm talking big difference but you better put a fan on that motor
Haven't seen any custom upgrades. I've seen a bunch of upgrades that have already been out that you put on your 4 tec but nothing I see is custom made by you.
Guess you missed the grey goose inspired body. I guess you missed the modification that had to be done for the hot racing arms to have the swaybar kit installed. You’re watching a video that’s years old. Enjoy that.
Do you even drive it ? 😂 It has no scratches on the bottom and the wheels look brand new. Is this just a model car for you ? Just curious. Mine is all scratched at the bottom. Nice car tho man
MotoGamer a quick Google search tells me that "The helical design produces less vibration and noise than conventional straight-cut or spur-cut gear with straight teeth." My only question is where did you get spiral cut gears for the 4 Tec?!
aerossignol Well my good man: a simple traxxas.com search under the 4 tec parts would show you that there is now a spiral cut variant available for $40 I believe. Good day.
Looks like a shelf queen

Bought not built, I agree with certain upgrades , but dang bro
Dope looking ride man.
Great job...what shocks are those?
Long time no see! Hey do they have any upgrade center driveshafts besides the Traxxas steel one! And what are the best drive shafts for speed runs?
I know, its been 4 years, but ill give it a go anymay. My 2.0 makes the same clicking/grinding noise, when i move it (motor is out) I bought it second hand and the noise is comming from the differential.

Hey am about to get my first rc car tram as mustang gt what do you think about it
King james speaking i have a redcat lighting. That i wont to drag race with should i invest in it or get me a traxxas 2.0 tec for drag racing
Would you please show me how to install the telemetry GPS and sensor stuff please
Ever figure out what the 8334x mounts do?
That’s a nice 4Tec I just got one it looks good how much have you spent so far on the upgraded parts
Waaaaay too much💸
Hey thanks for all the info. I'm in Daytona also and would live to see the 4tech. I recently aquired one on a trade what do you think of gyros for speed runs?
Excellent upgrades. I need to do that too.
Does the clicky noise when you roll the rc mean that the motor has a lot of torc
Ben Vallevand I think it’s the higher gearing in the transmission
Steel spur ⚙️
Did the spiral cut gears work? I notice in description it says front doesn't etc...Cheers
Ummm! And uhhh and ummm ... lol nice video Bro. Getting 1 tomorrow.. does all that makes it run that much better than stock 70mph as far as drivability?
Ummmm uh no.,
Damm how many rcs u got n which is ur favorite also which one u recomand for fun racing n all
How did you install your telemetry mount? Thank you in advance for the advice...
Is it much faster? Better handling?
It looks like he has the stock ESC and motor so it probably not quicker unless you change out the pinion gear that can make a big difference. I'm talking big difference but you better put a fan on that motor
How did you fit the larger batteries. I'm thinking of using velcro. I know this video is old but I just got back into rc.
I use proteck velcro
Gio, please tell me where you got the helix diff gears
you need the savox 1257tg servo is faster and alot better then the stock one.
Hey just wondering .what hexes do these have ,??
Race or drift?
Haven't seen any custom upgrades. I've seen a bunch of upgrades that have already been out that you put on your 4 tec but nothing I see is custom made by you.
Guess you missed the grey goose inspired body. I guess you missed the modification that had to be done for the hot racing arms to have the swaybar kit installed. You’re watching a video that’s years old. Enjoy that.
There's not much Traxxas left
Have you managed to get the Savox servo to fit yet? I really want a quicker servo on mine.
Just switch the heads and it will work
I did it with my 30 kg servo
I got an eco power flush fit 115T
How many rc's do you have?
Do you even drive it ? 😂
It has no scratches on the bottom and the wheels look brand new. Is this just a model car for you ? Just curious.
Mine is all scratched at the bottom.
Nice car tho man
He says you need a few modifications lol you don’t need none of that
What Is the point of the spiral cut diff gear?
MotoGamer a quick Google search tells me that "The helical design produces less vibration and noise than conventional straight-cut or spur-cut gear with straight teeth." My only question is where did you get spiral cut gears for the 4 Tec?!
aerossignol Well my good man: a simple traxxas.com search under the 4 tec parts would show you that there is now a spiral cut variant available for $40 I believe. Good day.
MotoGamer ha ha, I had searched hot racing and GPM. Who would have thought it was a stock traxxas part....
