Strictly speaking. The t-4 is a race vehicle, the stampede is not. For your speed trials and drive ability the t-4 would be better, but for durability the stampede or rustler would be better. As much as it pains me to say it, if you are just going to bash you should probably not get the t-4. You will experience less broken parts and retain interest longer, thus possibly one day decide to race and get the t-4.
