wich one would give me the best bang for my buck
really depends on where you drive. i would say a rustler or stampede. i have a stampede and love it. it will not center on anything, it wheelies like there is no tommaro, jumps beautifuly. people say the pede is unstable and it is. but if you drop your suspension and get some good tires, it does great.
the rustler is also a great truck but i'm not as fond of it. it will handle better and go faster then the pede. the problem with it is that is a cross between two trucks. it's a cross between a t4/xxx-t and a stampede. it's built like a stampede (durable) and it's low cg makes it handle good like the t4/xxx-t. the problem with it is that for all out bashing the pede is better and for racing the t4/xxx-t will smoke it. so if you just like to do both the rustler would be good for you. not saying the pede cant be fun a race track[8D]
