I have a rustler that is 5 years old and had countless gallons of fuel run through it. I haven’t been kind to it one bit, like running in winter, summer heat, sand, mud, and dust.
I finally managed to kill it by over heating it and busting part of the piston skirt off. As far as tuning, it’s never ever been a problem. It’s been rock solid for 5 years of hard use. I can’t say anything bad about the nitro evader because I don’t own one but I do have 3 dura trax cars, a BX ,an ST and a Delphi all electric and I enjoy all of them also.
