I recently got my hands on the SummitLink custom eagle-style body for my Rustler 2WD, and overall, it’s a pretty sweet upgrade. The paint job is clean right out of the box, and the decals add a nice touch—though I did have to peel off the protective coating first. It comes pre-drilled, so mounting it was a breeze. No fuss, just plug and play.
That said, if you’re hoping to fit this on anything other than a Rustler 2WD (like a Nitro Rustler or Bandit), be prepared to do some bending and heating. It *can* work with modifications, but it’s not a perfect match. The body itself feels sturdy—not flimsy like some cheaper shells—and the thickness is just right for bashing around without worrying about cracks.
The decals are hit or miss depending on what you’re into. Mine came with some funky designs (think ‘rad’ and ‘awesome’ stickers), which might not be everyone’s vibe. Also, quality control seems inconsistent—some buyers get flawless bodies, while others end up with misaligned holes or incorrect sizing. Still, for the price, it’s hard to complain too much.
Bottom line: If you own a Rustler 2WD and want a tough, good-looking body without breaking the bank, this is a solid pick. Just double-check compatibility if you’re rolling with something else.
