how does this seem right???

For one, even buggy tires are larger in diameter that Rustler tires, so it's easier to roll through.

Second, the VXL is basically an S size motor, so doesn't have as much torque as a larger, more efficient Neu. Comparing the two isn't fair, lol.

Third, the Rustler is lower and does have more undercarriage drag.
