Good truck but IMO I think you can have a better truck for a better price. You bet a better engine, pipe, and electronics.

Yeah it's not a bad entry level truck at all. Traxxas makes pretty good entry level trucks. But if you think you might be racing in the future some other trucks to look at are The Team Losi xxx-nt2 or the Team Associated GT2 there both great trucks that if you might want to race in the future then I would definately look at those two trucks. But if not they still make great bashers, but back to the nitro sport yeah it's a good entry level truck. But since your new I think just about any truck you get you will like.

Get the rustler over the nitro sport and a xxx-nt or rc10gt2 or rc10gt over the rustler.
