i was just wonder what is better A Traxxas Nitro Rustler OR a HPI Rush Evo? i was lookin at a web site and saw the evo has a stock 3 gear tranny [X(] so i was thinking that it would go pretty damm fast then... but i could be wrong

It has a 3-gear transmission but is not a 3 speed. My vote is HPI.

sorry im so new to nitro rc cars whats the 3 gear tranny mean?

o also i guess HPI has the "roto start" traxxas has the "e-z start" whats the diff? nothing really right just little diff for the engines? and whats better in your opinion a pull start or a e-z or roto start?

also what are the speed diff from the two? i know the rustler will do almost 50 mph? how about the evo

First most claims on speed, HP and so on are so exaggerated do not even go by this. Second if you are new to the hobby speed sure should not be a prime concern. Believe me does not matter which you get they well go plenty fast enough.

All so I do not believe a stock rustler will go 50! Maybe 30.

hmm mabey but i just like to compare every angle of something ;P but new question came to mind.. my friends dad said that hpi parts arnt as comon as say traxxas, so when i need parts, and i knoew i will need them because even the best drivers break something, were will i get them for the evo? and the evo is disc so parts are even harder to get right

The two most common brands are HPI and Traxxas. Most places stock both. I own 4 HPI vehicles and never had a problem getting parts. I get most of mine off the web from Tower Hobbies and normally have them in 4 to 5 days at the most.

hmm well the evo isnt being made ne more so wouldnt it be harder to get parts for?

I know they say the Rush has been discontinued but has HPI said anything as it is still listed on the US and European web site. Even if it is discontinued parts will be a round for quite some time.
If you will feel better by the Traxxas.

I've read on the traxxas web site that the stock rustler out of the box can go 47. But im assuming thats an engine that's tuned very well.

well if i can get good parts for the evo then what do i have to worry about.. and its all water proof so that way i can use it in the snow or a little mud
