Status: online 		if you can find one for the price range you have, id say go for a t-maxx with the 3.3 engine. alittle newer and more power! the savage from HPI is supposed to be a really strong truck as well, simillar to the t-maxx in performce, but a stronger chassis design.
there is a big difference between a nitro rustler and a t-maxx. the t-maxx is more like a monster truck, has 4wd and 2 speed tranny. the rustler is 2wd, a simpler design. iv had a traxxas nitro sport(cheaper version of the nitro rustler) i liked it, good speed and power...but 4wd would have given me more traction and control. it also aids in braking.
