Thank you for advice on the rustler. Wuold you reccomend buying new or used? As far as i am able to figure out, as long as the brushless motor runs, it is in a good condition. Also, in your experince how durable is the rustler out of the box? All the reviews of the car suggest replacing the front buper with RPM one and upgrading the stock rear tires right away. I plan on getting the Gen Ace 5000mAh 40C 7.4V lipo, but am still researching which charger to get. I am glad to hear that you are having success with your rustler on the race track. Most of the times so far, as soon as i mentioned racing, people stop taking about the rustler and start throwing out other car names and upgrades i can get.
