Status: offline 		Hello, I'm in a big indeterminate between these cars, I've read the discussions about these cars and watched vids. but couldn't choose one of them. trx 'S esc/motor is better and it can be make around 30mph with 2s li-po(I hope ) and dtx's motor/esc is not as good as trx but it'S 45 $ cheaper in towerhobbies. I must remind that I'm not going to be in a competition with that car.Which one I must choose? Thanks.

Status: offline 		The Rustler will break, I have broke all kinds of stuff on mine. I also don't like the transmission for the Rustler. If he has the extra money to go for a T-4 do it. As long as you run it with the body on and don't try to go head on with a stop sign it wont break. Plus it can be raced if he ever decides to.

If you have tried the newer version of the rustler you would think different. I never broke the new one and I hit fences, poles and all with it. Go with the rustler.

Status: offline 		the rusty is not indestructable, i admit it is tough but it can break... the evader IMO is a better buy at 99 bucks. plus with that money you save you can upgrade the motor and esc. not to mention you have a 1 year warranty on the parts.. no brainer for me.

Status: offline 		Yeah if you have to pick between the ruslter or the evader go woth the evader. Especially that new Evader EXT one with the flexable chassis. But the others are right you'll get one and then want to start racing, for that you'll want a T-4 (woooo go Team AE!!!) , or even the new xxxt-cr is pretty nice.

Besides I don't care how tough you think your truck is it'll break, if it doesn't your just being lazy.
