Wheelie BarThe ESP Wheelie Bar is a good design and does a good job of protecting your transmission from damage. However it suffers from some weak materials, and therefore should be strengthened if you do much rough driving or jumping. Although the pictures below show an Electric Stampede, the same information applies to the Electric Rustler as well. I simply bought some Du-Bro Airplane Wheels and some 1-1/4 in. hardened steel screws. I had to drill the holes out in the wheels slightly before the screw would fit through them. Also since my bolts were sightly larger than the stock ones, and had a different thread pattern, I had to drill out and retap the aluminum rod where they fit into as well. Then I took a nut with a Teflon insert and screwed it almost to the wheel, leaving a little gap so that the wheel could turn freely. Then I screwed the assembly I had just created into the aluminum rod of the ESP Wheelie Bar. Since making this modification I have had no futher problems with the ESP Wheelie Bar.
   Another option would be to contact Swami, from the Traxxas forums, about obtaining one of his Wheelie Bars. They are made of a much stronger material than the one offered by ESP. |
