Nice rig. You'll really like that tire setup. Mine are great. Those blast's look mean on a hustler. More axle pictures please!

Good looking rig there. Nice work on the tires and wheels.

I also have a Hustler I am putting together. Great chassis.

I was using the mix to control F/R motors with the right stick.

Nice. I haven't read up on how to mix my 6EX yet. Don't think I have to really. I just use the right stick for front motor and steering, and use the left stick for rear motor and steering. Gotta love being able to drive sideways.

Those axles look beefy and bulletproof. Everything is bigger in Alaska.

Just got the old rig off the shelf and installed savox servo for the rear steering. Here's an old vid from when it was new. Gonna grab a new one with the upgrades and a full list of upgrades. I'm using a Dx8 now

Here's a link for the [COLOR="Blue"]video[/COLOR]
