Already got the rustler 2wd now I want a 4wd should’ve got that first

[g_men]

I have a better motor but replaced the receiver and esc and still cant go the factory distance. It only goes about 10ft then loses signal. I have a short antenna that doesn’t peak out of the car. If i got one that just peaks out of the body, will my range be better?

I swapped mine with a hoss motor and esc it goes like 70mph now with upgraded Pinon gears and the hex on the axal keeps stripping my wheels

Why are we recommended not to use upgraded gearing for off road use? Will it cause other damage, apart from overheating?
