RE: which trucks
The rustler is a fast car, but thats not the only good thing about it. People think of that to much. Its more like, the service, engine, 3rd party parts, etc.
I love my rustler, I have a rc10gt too and I still like my rustler the most. Its just an all around fun car that can go fast and have great turning with a few mods and hop ups.

RE: which trucks
orrrrrrrrrrrrrr
you can do what im doing for speed
get the rc10gt
get the os .18 cv-rx (i cant remember if thats the right one)
and get the gears 18/64
and it will work better than a stick ruslter

RE: which trucks
I'd get the MT2.
I work in a hobby shop and i've messed with the TRX2.5 a lot and I hate it with a purple passion...some people like it, though.
overall, I'd get an RC10GT or a nitro Evader ST

Hello again.
I run my rusty in a gravel pit alot and it gose right up those supper tall piles all the way to the top and over with the sand paws on but I seldom make it all the way useing any other type of tire but I supose 4 wheel drive would be a big bonus in that department .
I don't understand why some guys don't like the trx2.5 I love mine . I think it's a supper motor
