RE: rustler or x-terminator
I would go for a buggy. They are fast and very durable. If you really want a stadium truck I would look at the Losi xxxnt or the rc10gt

RE: rustler or x-terminator
I have both a Rustler and a X-Term.
My X-Term is new and stock.
While my Rustler has hunderds of dollars done on upgrades.
Rustler is about the best little car that I have ever had. Parts are cheap, and can be bought local. Heres something to think about as well.. Buy a car that your local hobby shop has parts for onhand.. i am willing to bet that they will have Traxxas parts first and foremost.
Before you get some serious upgrades in it, its gonna break, but does not cost much to fix at all.. It only breaks because it is so DANG FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rustler is so stinking fast its sometimes not even fun unless you got a dirt runway to play on... But I love speed. Think about it, you turn to fast and reck going 45 mph and all it cost ya is a $3.00 part.. Basically you cant beat the Rustler in overall price, price of parts and avaiblity of parts.
On the other hand, the X-Ter is fast, but not as fast.
For a $300 buggy, this thing is built AWESOME!!!! Its a great buggy to start off with.
I would probally say to start off with a X-Terminator. It is built so much better than the Rustler, even with a huge bunch of upgrades and it is also cheaper!!!!!
Rustlers are good for speed.. Buy accordindly

I own a RC10GT and been running it with low maintance for almost 2 yrs. On the 1/10th ST grade its lives up to its name! Last Month i picked up an X-terminator as my first 1/8th buggy for a great price, this thing literally broke in within 2-1/2 tanks of gas. Which was a plus for me, and it has some nice stock options that someone with a tight budget can appreciate. Its fast and the steering is on point, and it stops on a dime. You will have to order the parts if needed thats my only complaint. Between the 2 the RC10GT sits on my shelf while I pull out the X-Terminator and My Savage 25!
