How can I convert my Nitro Sport to a Nitro Rustler?

STEP 1:
Installing the 6.0mm Big Bore carburetor and a slipper clutch would be the
first step to increase the speed and performance of your Nitro Sport.
Installation of these two parts will bring your speed up to 40mph. The slipper
clutch is required to protect the gears and driveline from the added power
that the Pro carb delivers.

STEP 2:
The extra power that the Pro carburetor delivers can sometimes cause an
increased engine temperature. Installing the Pro cooling-head will provide
more cooling for your engine if you notice that it is overheating.
