Rustler speed attempt...

[E-Revonut]

I had my fun with a Rustler once upon a time. I believe the vxl rustler is overpriced for it's performance though, and it's lack of durability. When the Associated RC10T4.1 brushless is finally released I may pick one up, priced much more reasonably than the Rustler. I believe that the 2wd stadium truck is and always will remain a viable part of the hobby. Last summer at my track I honestly think that this class had the largest number of participants through the course of the season.

Wow, I can comprehend the posts again. Thank you to whomever did the fine cleaning job.

I think the problem with the rusty/pede/bandit is that in the beginning it's fun, and seems quite easy to build up and put some power through. The problem is you get to a certain point and squeezing more speed out while trying to keep it on the pavement and in one piece becomes futile. I remember a time when I loved my FLM Mamba Pede but now thinking about it just makes me yawn and fall asleep.

I guess it's just sort of an RC right of passage.
