rustler vs lambo
so one day me and my freind were messing around in his dads race shop with his new vxl rustler and he has a lambo escalade porsche and about 5 dirtbikes 4wheelers etc
so his new vxl with a maxamps battery were doing some speed runs all is well so we take out the lipo and put in a new one turn it on and bam it takes off throotle wide open cant turn with a fresh charged lipo where like...F*#$&*& about 100 feet later it evident it heading toward the lambo so where were saying our prayers then bam a 2 day old ruslter look like a pile of trash it hit the tire on the lambo thank god not the side because it would have been jump tall enough to do some damage to the panel. So it turns out that the crystal was messed up or some stuff so traxxas sent him a new car and it popped the tire which we ended up paying for it was $350 so that sucked
So next time your doing speedruns remember it doesnt get any worse than that^^^^^^^
btw the rustler hit so hard it crushed the motor can and shattered the magnets and the motor is on the back of the chassis

RE: rustler vs lambo
Wow what year and model Lamborghini was it? I have 27 Porsches, 3 Buggatti Veyrons and a Bentley. I am looking for a LP-640 if you know what I mean. Btw I am getting a 11.1v 3s Lipo for Christmas. Hope I don't have this so called crystal problem either. Maybe i'll go spektrum.

RE: rustler vs lambo
You can knock the valve stem off a tire with ease especially with a rc at full speed. Be lucky you didn't scratch the rim. That would have cost big bucks to fix.

RE: rustler vs lambo
its strange one of the cheapest vehicles in this hobby playing anywhere near about half a million dollars (for the 3 combined)... hey why do you think everything is going 2.4! and considering ive mounted lambo tires and owned a rustler and the fact lambos run a runflat.... i call bs and bs at the 350 for the tire
