Does the nitro rustler really break after a gallon of gas or whats the average life span of it? Whats all around better for big jumps and bashing, what 1 is more durable.. What has a better engine life, and more hop ups. Its up to you guys what i get.. So tell me what u know thanks.

If i put better shocks on the rustler would it be as good or better then the mt for jumping?

<conrad>

oops sorry i post this in the wrong forum but i appriciated it if u could tell me your opinions

I think the mt2 is better cause it has bigger tires and 4w4 but the ler is prob faster.

Mt also has bigger saspension.. Id say the mt.

<conrad>

the rus beats the mt like nuttin its so much faster and more accelleration and if u got new shocks for it it should be good for jumps too but yeah the mt is nice to with the 4 wheell drive and every thing but when a car that goes 52 mph with a car that goes 42mph the rustler all the man

What MT2 are you referring to? The CEN, or the HPI?

I can barely understand what your saying dude..

Noone really cares about speed, traxxas designs there cars to be fast but has nothing to back it up, what good is going 52 mph if you cant hit no jumps and have to worry about wrecking it if u hit something.. Rustlers are crap in my opinion.. Id rather have a relyable truck and beable to jump it.

You dont know what your talking about u dont even own a nitro truck, i garentee when u get that rustler and u run into something or land hard on a jump and break it your gonna wish you got the mt or a monster truck..

By the way i know this kid in real life

Hes refering to the HPI.

the nitro rustler is a way better truck all you need is masher 2k tires and a better suspension and your set to do anything you want its a tough litlle truck and its faster than just about anything in its class

well if you know how to tune mt2's are way better stock i got my dad one for fathers aday and omg its like a buggy, without the 70mph it ddoes about 55 well atelast thats what it looks like, i say traxxas = crap hpi = quality

Go with the Rusty its a good truck If you break anything replace with alum. parts. If weight is an issue replace broken parts with RPM parts. I have a rusty with a OS .18 on it I bash it almost everyday. The Mt looks alright but it hardly has any aftermarket parts for it.

here we go again bias kids and there cars.

Hey guess what! their both good! Make your own decision we shouldn't be making it.


One note though. Whoever said a rustler cant reliably jump has some info problems. [X(]

I like my ruslter thats what i would pick. the mt2 is 4x4 and the rustler is x2. the ruslter is faster than mt2 and its great at just bashing, jumps, and racing. i have every thing stock i have had it for a year and havent broken anything. so i would go with the rustler and the engine is great. and im only 12[>:]

rustler all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

info
in order to get huge air...
dont you need to go fast

and it is up to the guy whos buying it
if he likes off road going on huge rocks and climbing hill this steep \ then stay with the other car
if he likes off road dirt and running over small rocks and doing huge jumps/ nitro rustler
and its better to get the one that lives close to you
you dont want to drive 50 mile to go to dirt
get the nitro rustler you can drive it while your driving a car! lol
but you shuold get the nitro rustler you can drive on the street for speed and make jumps
but the other it goes slower and dont get much air

so go with nitro rustler for speed jumps dirt
get the other for off road and ... thats all i can think of

i havent broken anything on my rusty for 4 years and still going, i jumped it full speed about 15 feet in the air and nothing broke, they are not POS`S they are really great trucks, and even if traxxas doesnt hav anyhing to back it up with, ya well they do make some weak trucks, but there replacement parts are very cheap, and they got the best customer support

i have had my hpi mt2 for a little over a month now, runs strong and fast. as for the aftermarket parts there is alot of aluminum parts already available for it, tower hobbies even stocks alum suspension arms and alot of others, on a scale of 1 to 10 i give it a ten, hpi really cares about the customers, mine came with extra hub carriers and parts that will break in a bad wreck, go with hpi they are good
