Is this a good motor? Heres the link.. BTW i went to the brushless fourm and they were talking about how u need a new radio if ur going to buy a brushless.. whats that all about?
Yes, that would work fine, Im getting the SAME exact system,for my BANDIT.. gonna get a FM system,Steel Idler gear,Hardened Differential Gear,TRY to find CVD's for it, and that should be it. thats over 300$ but,
the novak system is a no brainer to install and get going one of the nicest packages for cars and truck that use 6or7 cells.
plus it has 6profiles with reverse(always fun when your bashing) but you can turn off the reverse for racing situations.
also you dont need a special transmitter with the novak system(but a fm radio is better then am),trust me its really easy to setup and get going it comes pre-wired out of the box!
for the gearing ratio novak recommends a 12;00 final gear ratio for stadium trucks(you can their gear ratio chart on their website under product info update)

you wont find specific info on how to gear the rustler but it tells you how to gear a stadium truck,which if im not mistaken the rustler is.
now for the final gear ratio and how to calculated it..
2)divide the number of teeth on your spur gear(that the big gear outside the transmission on the right side of the truck) by the pinion gear(that the gear attached to the motor)
now multiply the number you got from 1) by the number you got from 2) and you have the final drive ratio which should be very close to "12.00" in order to gear the rustler correctly for the novak brushless
