Default electric rustler or mini T

Well has i have used the search. Now to point of this thread which one. I havent found as much info on the rusty as i have about the mini t. but the thing from what i understand is that the mini t can get a long run time on the 4 AA batteries. but many people say ditch that and go for a 5 or 6 cell pack. does it mean something like this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXAFD2&P=ML ? or do u have to get a different kind? now the thing is my bday is this tuesday and would like to get one of them. and i have a tmaxx and a nitro rusty. so i know some stuff already. i will be bashing in my basement mainly and sometimes outside. Now the electric rustler is 1/10 scale so i no it will be bigger and faster out of the box right? now which will be more durable? what i plan to do is jump in my basement. and set out pillows for extra protection. i have read other threads saying that the mini t isnt the greatest out of the box such as it needs the new shocks or what ever. and the motor burns up fast on 5 or 6 cells. im kinda confused one if i should get the rusty or the mini t. but the thing is i got 2 batteries and 2 15 min charges so i could drive alot.

would you recomend the mini t for jumping or the rustler?

Rustler is too big for inside use unless you have HUGE basement. However, a modded Mini T is way too fast for inside use as well. Decide where you want to run the choose the vehicle for that set up.

Congrat on the Mini T. The batteries fit under the ESC. Don't worry, Losi provides good directions with the car.
