Is the HPI Rush a good truck just for messin around with.... just a little jumps and off-roading? How's it's speed? This is my first nitro truck and I just want something that I can have fun with.....

btw, I got it in a trade, should be here soon.....
Thanks!

yeah, it seems like a good truck. i would get a few hop ups. And for more power, take out the white carb restricter in the carb, if he already hasnt!

where exactly is the white carb restrictor and how do you get it out??

JJay,

The Rush is definitely the epitome of a "bashing truck". You won't win many races with it (if your racing RC10GT's and Losi XXXnt's) however you won't be disappointed with it's performance and it's ability to get into a nasty crash and come away unharmed.

The stock 15FE motor provides plenty of power for general bashing and you'll probably top out somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-32 mph. My brother has a Rush and I'm constantly amazed at the crashes he's able to drive away from.

Again the Rush is not a bonafide racer by any means however it is great all purpose, get out and have fun truck.

Jasonrush,

The Rush shouldnt have a carb restrictor in it however if it did, it would be a small white plastic piece that sits inside the carb opening. You would just pull it out with a pair of needle nose pliers.

Good luck!

i dunno, if you got the right hop ups for it, i think you could race it! and he nailed it on the carb restricter!
