ECX Ruckus 2wd build

[LDAGfoodaholic]

I got a ecx ruckus 2wd from a buddy. And it goes. I put a castle 3200kv 4pole moter in it and the arrma 3s esc from my senton to test it out for a while. On 3s it pulls mad wheelies.
The first couple times i drive it ive been breaking drive shafts so ill have to be on the look out for aluminium driveshafts. I noticed it had some bent shock shafts so i put traxxas rear shocks on it with 40w oil. I also put a hot racing steel slipper and some proline trencher on it. Planning to buy another esc so i don't have to steel my senton's esc.

I forgot to mention the hot racing alloy servo arm.

I've had one of those since 2015. Nice cheap 2wd truck.
On 3s you will continue to break driveshafts on it, the cheapest option I have found is to run Traxxas Rustler 4x4 rear driveshafts on it, but you do need to modify the rear hubs otherwise the axles rub.
Traxxas Ultra Shocks are a good cheap upgrade for these, if you want something aluminum look on jennys for shocks from the Losi DB Pro.
Trenchers work great on this rig.
