The top-rated is the ProTek shorty pack – eBay but really nowadays any cheap shorty pack LiPo will work fine (my Amazon pick for a shorty – OVONIC 2S Lipo Battery 50C 4600mAh). you also gain the ability to move the battery more (forward or backward) for better weight distribution. (The better track performance) a shorty pack LiPo – they have the extra advantage of being smaller and even lighter, without much loss to runtime. (here are two really good budget lipo chargers on Amazon) – SUPULSE Lipo Charger 2X Faster Quick Charge 25W – Spektrum Smart S150 50W you’ll get everything you need – to charge and run LiPo. (The easiest way – not the cheapest way) Traxxas has a good startup package with the EZ-peak “Completer Pack” series – eBay – Amazon. For this, you’ll get better acceleration, jumping, handling, speed, and much longer run times. LiPo batteries have less weight for the power given. For the street – I would save my money and just wear out the stock tires and use them as the street-only tire. You can save a bit by only buying a set of rear wheels and tires – 2WD. You can run all 3 MX28, MX28 MT, or MX SC. For Stampede – ( Pro-Line Badlands MX28 MT). Both MX28 tires or MX SC will work on the Rustler. For Rustler – ( Pro-Line Badlands MX28 Belted). Keep in mind that the Pro-Line Badlands is “the jack of all trades masters of none” – so there is probably a better tire for what you’re doing… Badlands for Slash – ( Pro-Line Badlands MX SC). The large lug will help it last on the street and dig in on the dirt – the softer compound will help it not spin on the track ( Pro-Line Badlands) fits this category well. ( If Bashing) If you want a tire that can kinda do it all – you’ll need a large lug tire in a softer compound. The Pro-Line Hole Shot T 2.2 is usually the top tire on most outdoor tracks. If you’re racing – it’s best to ask the local racers “What is the best tire for this track?”. Keep in mind the front and the rear wheels are different offsets – the more offsets wheels go in the front. This gives you more tire options (for racing only). (for the Rustler and Stampede racing) I would go with the Traxxas 12mm 2.2 wheels ( front wheel)( rear wheel). ( If Racing)The first thing I would do and the most important upgrade for all RC cars are the wheels and tires.
