HPI Firestorm or TRAXXAS Rustler?
I am a newbie to nitro and currently looking to buy a Nitro RTR truck. I have narrowed it down to the HPI Firestorm or TRAXXAS Rustler, both 1/10 scale. They are both in the $300 price range and I need help making a wise decision.

firestorm faster, more agile, better engine, takes almost as much abuse. and it wheelies straight out of the box if you have the rustler you'll want something more at some point. if you have the firestorm you'll just want to race it. beleive me, i was in the same position and i don't regret my choice.
many people will tell you to get an assosciated GT2, but its basically the same truck as the firsetorm! (look at the pics under the bodyshell)
