RS4 MT2 rtr, Firestorm 10t, or nitro rustler 07?
Out of the HPI RS4 MT2 rtr, HPI Firestorm 10T or Traxxas 07 nitro rustler, Which would you guys prefer?
I am some what a begginer at maintaining cars and tuning and such, but i am an excellent driver.
which would you guys prefer from THOSE THREE?
or do you guys have another nitro truck under $300?
also the car is for a mix of bashing and racing
EDIT:it is the HPI RS4 MT2 g3.0 rtr.

like snaut rocket said, you cant beat 4wd. they handle better and dont wanna spin out wen braking. they also are MUCH better trying to go over rough terrain

I have a MT among many others and if you get a MT DO NOT GET THE RTR! The only MT I would consider is the kit as the RTR has MANY weak points that the kit address. All so the engine in the new MT kit version is MUCH better then the T15 in the RTR. Out of what you have listed I would go with the Firestorm but true 4 wheel drive is much better then 2 wheel drive as far as handling and going places a 2 wheel drive will not. But normally 2 wheel drive is faster.

go for the mt2 18ss+ but if this is your first truck or wutever and you want rtr then firestorm for simplicity but if you want 4wd and rtr together then g3.0 rtr for ya...

It has a much better engine but the drive train still is weak, as I have not seen where they change anything on it. Correct me if I am wrong. I will be happy to see HPI put the 3.0 in the SS kit or do like they did when they made my MT Racer years ago which mine came as a kit with out an engine!

imo rtr + hd diffs good truck. SS kit + ur own radio gear way better
in a rtr you usualy replace the radio gear anyway for a better one
mt2 G3.0 $334.00 tower + X2 HD diffs $65.98
