    Any thoughts
    ...maybe w/ lower profle wheeles/tires, it might make a good parking lot racer
    ...waterproof,and can take ungroomed surfaces.
    The low CG conversion alone is 1/2 the cost of the whole car
    =any input on the low CG set up?

    I think it would be cool to put a low CG in it and race it on the street or even a drifter would be fun. :) Is it the focus?

    they come w/ a "low C.G." Rustler 4x4 (shorter) chassis-it seems like it could be improved by adding more street specific type wheels (maybe foam tires?) ???

    My nitro rustler works really well on the street. It hardly roles and corners like nothing else. I Have moved the battery pack to the front for more weight on the front. all I do to race it on the street is put the foam tires on and zip tie the suspension down to make a better CG.

    I would love to run an oval/street track with my rustler.:)
