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.
