the rustler can also hit a tree and break into a million peices... im not saying its a bad car because its not... but from a durability standpoint a firestorm would be top pick. dont believe what a box says... the stock savage says 45+mph but will only hit around 37. also the firestorm is a single gear which gives it more power which is more important than speed for offroad. the firestorm will hit 35mph stock. dont expect a rustler to do more than 40 stock, especially with plastic drive shafts.

overall you will spend more time money fixing a rustler than a firestorm. the firestorm will take off faster and has great handling compared to the rustler... not to mention that i crash my firestorm into a lamp post at full speed and only spent 5 bux fixing it.

yeah, the rustler can't go as fast as advertised because it has plastic driveshafts.... give me a break

the Jato has plastic driveshafts and can go a claimed 65

either truck is built pretty tough, but the rustler obviously has more potential to destroy itself because it's got a much higher top speed
