Traxxas Nitro Rustler

Wow traxxas is doing a good job with the Nitro Rustler 2007!

It comes with the TRX 2.5 engine, and ofcourse it is RTR hehe.

I read that the top speed for the Rustler is 50mph, has anyone clocked it with radar gun?

i was thinking about getting it.....until i saw the new electric brushless rustler! the top speed is over 70mph!! that's definately my next truck!!!

I own about 3 differnt nitro rustlers. There good trucks very fast and easy to tune. and i also own 2 electric rustlers there a good truck for the price but you have to have a 5c lipo battery to acutally hit 70mph it wont go that fast with a regular nicd nmhd battery
