GO with the Firestorm, the rustler is a great car, but it has weak parts.
Does anyone have any experience with them, I am interested in possibly getting one but Im not sure if I should go with it or the traxxas rustler VXL
GO with the Firestorm, the rustler is a great car, but it has weak parts.
go with the rustler, it has LOADS of aftermarket parts and traxxas has really good customer service
Go with the Hpi e-firestorm. It has many upgrade options ( not that you would need to ) and great customer service. They replaced me 4-5 times even though it was mostly my fault. And the rustler has a some what poor design with even one look. But with the new E-firestorm it looks like a traxxas killer from the start and even with the performance. Its powered by the famous castle creations offering the highest performance electronic items. Hpi has been in corporation with all the high powered systems, like the Flux 2650, flux 2350, flux 4800, flux 5700, and they offer the mamba monster XL for the baja's. While traxxas has the VXL which has proven to be mostly water resistance, and not all is water proof. Jeremy ( owner of this website has a review of this ).
