When money is "no object", why suggest a Rustler? I agree it is a great basher, but if money isn't an issue there are better vehicles to choose from.

A nitro to electric conversion would be cool as suggested above...

How many "which one?" threads have you posted today?!!! You need to figure out if you want 4x4 or 4x2? what scale? MT or ST etc?

Stop making multiple posts and do a little thinking for yourself...you have an e-max so start there!

ya actually an acme racing condor pro (ebay mabey) unreal design its a nitro 4x4 buggy. my bro has one they are brill aluminium shocks etc only 1 inch ground clearance tho. i am doing an electric conversion very soon if my bro will buy the parts. about 300 dollars for the car you could sell the crap engine(we got around 3 runs and its gone) a rustler tranny an esc battery pack and something to extendthe dog bones. contact me for info. i have it all planned all i need is funding as its my bros buggy and he wants to keep ownership but he doesnt want to spend much on it.

I'd go with an E-Savage. Either that or a brushless Twin Detonator. If money is no object, then having to get two seperate systems for it shouldn't matter to you. I've seen some pretty impressive brushless converstions done with that chassis.

Well, as said before a nitro to electric conversion would be cool... Or you can get a E-savvy and make it brushless.... Also if you dont wanna spend to much... Just get the rustler.. I have had mine for two years and after bashing it hard, crashing, and smashing, I've never broke a single part!

even though it isn't pricey at all...the rustler hasn't broken once on me and i've put that thing through hell!

i'm putting the whole VXL system in it soon though, so just get the VXL out of the box.

When the MMMax finally comes out (1-2 months?), then it should be possible to do an electric conversion on a Baja5b.
