Nitro Slash vs. Rustler vxl
 

I'm not sure if I should get a traxxas nitro slash, Nitro T-Maxx 2.5, or a traxxas rustler vxl. Can you guys give me some pros/cons, opinions please.

As far as durability, I would say the Rustler has the best track record compared to the tmaxx and nitro slash.

I decided to cut the rustler, because I want to go nitro

well in the UK the nitro slash seemed to fail as soon as it was released. most shops didn't have it in stock also spares was a joke. but i cannot say how it is in other countries. but if it was me i would go for the slayer. as it's 4wd

The T-Maxx 2.5 seems like a great truck, or would the T-Maxx 3.3 be worth the extra $ since its already upgraded

To be honest I don't know about the traxxas nitro vehicles. In comparison the 3.3ci is only really 0.20cc. So compared to a 2.1, 2.6 and 2.8 they are lacking in power.

have u thought about something like this... It's got a .28....and they are the benchmark for nitro bashing... They are nearly considered cult status
