How is the Nitro Rustler on the road?
 

I want to get a stadium truck and I am trying to decide between the Nitro Rustler and the Firestorm. I am leaning towards the Rustler, but I hear it doesn't handle well on the road. I know it's an offroad truck so it's made for dirt, but I don't have dirt right near my house so I'll be driving on the street part of the time. Is it true that the Rustler is worse that the Firestorm on road, or does it make a big difference, or do the other good part of the the Rustler make up for this?

it isn't a huge difference in the handling, but the fire storm is much more durable, and it is 30 dollars cheaper than the rustler at amain.

Yes the rustler handles worse than the Firestorm. It will just be harder to drive at high speeds. I would say go for the Firestorm. CHeaper, more durable, and better quality.

blah rustler rocks lol although i do tend to flip it a bunch tho :D

I liked my rustler, but i just sold it since i like MT's better.

If you are just bashing, the rustler will handle fine. If you race competitively you may want something different. The good thing about the rustler is that parts are cheap, easy to get, and its simple to work on.
