FLM stapede or e-revo?

[Hickoryhead]

I have both. I like the Pede for speed runs but its useless above 45 MPH. The is just too much power in the rear end. Go with something that has 4 wheel drive. Stay away from the 2 wheel drive stuff unless your planning on manly driving on hard top. I Like my Revo because I don't have to turn it over much. My Pede rolls a lot and I have a jato top on it with rustler body mounts. I can't get the center of gravity any lower and it still rolls. just my 2c.

what other options are there in the $400 range(which includes necessary upgrades) and can keep up with an e-revo??

and just a reminder to everyone, i'm a she :)

you could check out one of the vxl models (rustler is my favorite) and put it on 3s lipo to have theoretically 70+ mph. it really depends what you want to do. i have a rustler with a mamba 6900 in it on 3s li-mn, and it goes well above 70. my gearing is 87/19. (i know this because i raced my friends brushless tc5 and i won, about 5mph faster, and his was clocked at 73mph.)

the only reason i am not going for a vxl is because it is small, with a FLM extended chassis it has a bigger wheelbase, and is longer than stock by an inch, making it emaxx sized.

i think i will get a revo roller, a stampede roller, and sell my nirto revo intact, for the same price as the roller. since the roller has a lot more upgrades (roll cage, RPM a arms, better chocks, blah blah.
