If you're looking to give your Traxxas Rustler 2WD a fresh new look, the SummitLink Custom Body Flag Strip is a fantastic option. Right out of the box, I was impressed by the vibrant colors and clean white interior finish - it not only looks sharp but makes spotting wheel scrub super easy.
The durability is where this body really shines. After several bashing sessions (including some nasty jumps with oversized MT tires), it's held up remarkably well. Unlike my previous factory shell that felt brittle, this one has just the right amount of flex to absorb impacts without cracking.
Installation was mostly plug-and-play, though I did need to slightly enlarge the rear mount hole - a quick fix with a reamer. It comes with extra stickers and all necessary decals pre-applied, saving you time on customization. The pre-drilled holes align perfectly with the Rustler 2WD chassis.
A couple minor notes: While it withstands dog bites (yes, really!), the pin holes can start to tear after extended rough use. Also, don't expect a rear fin included despite having mounting holes for one. But at this price point, these are forgivable trade-offs for what's otherwise an excellent aftermarket body that looks as good as it performs.
