RE: Nitro rustler
yes, its a very nice truck. its very fast, and has a powerful engine in it. if you want something only for racing though, i wouldnt reccomend it. its great for bashing though, along with alot of other ST's too.

RE: Nitro rustler
Its got an aluminium chassis.... might want to get your facts straight before you just trash a truck for no reason.
My friend has a rustler for a while, he has a xxx-nt now. It is fast, and is a fun little truck. However in my opinion it falls apart a little too easily for the money you have to pay to get one. An rc10gt is a good bit less expensive, and is built like a tank. Sure it'll be slower, thats probably the only drawback. Although traxxas does have some of the best customer support out there. I'm sure you'd be happy with whichever truck you got so go have fun.

RE: Nitro rustler
aluminum chassis wow most nitro trucks have a aluminum chassis, what about the plastic shocks and the plastic output yokes and plastic half shafts and it has plastic on the stub axles, sure it has a ok engine but that ok engine will just break those parts. I have a nitro rustler and the first thing i had to buy was mip cvd kit and aluminum shocks and you would be better to buy a truck with those allready on it like the associated rc10gt plus with metal shocks metal dog bones metal stub axles metal differential outdrive hubs and the rc10gt plus is 249 dollars and the traxxas is 289 dollars at tower hobbies. the rc10 gt isnt as fast as the rustler but a whole lot of a better truck and cheaper
