Well the bad news is most of the parts for the Traxxas rustler are not a direct bolt .
The one plastic part you can take off of a rustler and bolt on with out any modifications is the rear shock tower . yep that's it .
The problem for true interchange ability is that ZD Racing used smaller hinge pin's then Traxxas at most joints .
The reality is if you have a 1/8th inch drill bit and a small file you can run Traxxas suspension part's just make sure you get the matching Traxxas pin's .
The Traxxas front shock tower is not wide enough for the ZD top plate to pass through it.
The front bumper will interchange if the front inner lower control arm pins are retained differently than stock.
Now the transmission guts are very different and Traxxas components will not fit .
The Traxxas transmission would bolt on for the most part but some adaptation will be required to use ether one of the shock tower's .
I did try to bolt a Traxxas slipper clutch on the input shaft and the shaft is to short for proper fitment.
The front and rear hub's will swap easily with a bit of work.
The front and rear should be able to use after market camber links for the rustler .
The rear drive-shafts and axles will not interchange but the front axles will swap.
Swapping the top plate would take some work and the same goes for the bell crank system but maybe possible.
Rims will swap of course a will wheel hex's.
The stock spur and pinion are 48 pitch .
If I have not mentioned it here it probable wont fit at all.
I have abandoned making a part# list because almost everything listed here will swap but will require some light modification .
