Looking to get a 2wd pavement pounder

[nitrostarter]

I'm assuming you'd be converting a Jato to electrics?

I have a VXL rustler and I love making speed runs and wrecking this thing. Its a beast and is pretty durable. Like BG said, most LHS's have Traxxas parts out the wazoo! Get the VXL tranny or upgrade to the metal gears and you shouldn't have any issues there. Driveshaft problems may become an issue running high powered systems, but there are CVD kits out there now. Stock shocks are crap but they do the job. Big Bore shock caps would help them last and make them better. Otherwise, its an awesome and fun little truck. I love the instant power of the VXL system on both 2 and 3s. Its a lot of fun to play with and beat up. I haven't broken much yet, just popped shock caps. She jumps and flies pretty well also.

The Evader is basically like the Rustler, But I would opt for the Rustler.
