If you just want to see how fast you can go get the Rustler VXL and a 3s lipo
it's a crazy fast wheelie machine. On 3s and proper gearing you can easily hit 60MPH with the Rustler. The other two are better racers with the T4 geared for racing the most. I have all three and the T4 is used for racing and the other two for bashing with the Firestorm being my favorite but that's just my personal opinion.

why do you chose Firestorm over Rustler?

What gearing do you have Rustler?

I think the Firestorm handles better and is more adjustable. Don't get me wrong both are awesome I just find myself going for the Firestorm more often. That could be because my son always takes the Rustler. For 60+ the Rustler gets geared 31/76 get yourself a very long straight and hang on. If you want to race get the T4 hands down.

No. Vxl Rustler is the fastest of the three but not the best off road racer. The T4 is your best option for off road racing not really meant for bashing. The Firestorm can be made competitive on the track but is also a great basher with good speed.

I think in handling/racing abilities, it would be T4, E-FS then Rustler.
Bashing I think, E-FS, Rustler then T4, but personally I would prefer the T4 over the Rustler.

The E-FS is a solid basher that handles well for what it is.
The T4 is a bit more fragile from what I understand.
The Ruster has the most support and upgrades available, some say they are very tough but from what I have read and seen, they become that tough after a few upgrades.

I know I just commented on something I don't have but I like something that can handle decently, which is why I don't have one (rustler that is).
I don't have a T4 either but it's not hard to find out what people think of them and that is where I got my opinion on them from.
My brother has an E-FS and it seems quite good.
I have a Losi DT, not bad, it has served me well but it has its flaws.
