Junkie you seem to have misinterpreted the information on my website.

Total cost of my son fixing his Rush Evo is a follows:

1 x suspension arm after hitting concrete post at WOT $8.59 set of all four arms

The rest of the changes were hop-ups

My son bashes his Rush Evo on the same track as I bash my Turbo Inferno and Kanai 3. He's had less breakages than me!

RC10GT apart, I'm not familiar with other cars you mentioned so can't comment, but I'll stand by original statement, the Rush is not slow (in a straight line his speed is not that dissimilar to my buggies), and it is not frail. Granted is does have a few weak points that could all be solved quiet cheaply.


Clamp on ally wheel hexes $8.80
Heavy duty disk hub $9.29
Fibreglass brake disc $2.89

I don't doubt there may be better cars out there, but if you're offered a Rush cheap is it worth getting? In my opinion yes.
