Ok!!!! so here it is, im down to my current choices. and i need you to help me choose :banghead:

NOTE: its ony between these two, dont go suggesting others *unless theyre cheaper*

and i will be sticking with these in the current state for at least 3-6 months due to having to pay for stuff for my motorbike, so help me choose wisely :)

1. Traxxas Rustler *MSC 20t stinger* RTR, upgrades - decentish ESC *LRP sprinter* and 3000mAh 6-cell, bearings for the axles.

2. Traxxas Bandit *MSC 20t stinger* RTR, upgrades - same ESC, batts and bearings as above, but with nice modified motor *not sure what to go for yet but it will be a BIG increase over the stinger, as long as the ESC can take it* possible shock upgrade...


SO! please help me :)

Rustler. Great truck.. Even as electric.

my friend has an electric rustler, and his son has an electric bandit. Just looking at the two you can see the quality difference, even though they're both Traxxas.

I can't say first had of my experience with a electric rustler, But, I do own a Nitro rustler and its one of the best trucks I've ever used. I haven't broken a thing in the time I've owned it and I'm not easy on my trucks at all.

Hope I helped.

Get the Rustler xl-5 version. It already has an esc and a hotter motor (12t). I would only get the cheaper (msc, 20t) version if you're planning on going brushless.

Rustler XL-5 is great if you NEVER run your truck in water/wet grass.. 1 drop of water and that titan 12t turns into a paperweight.
