I am new getting back to RC trucks. Will be looking at getting my kids into it along with me. We are looking at an 'entry level' type set of 3 trucks... probably all Traxxas, due to availability of parts and my previous familiarity with them. My older son wants a Bandit, and my younger wants a Rustler... I'm debating between another Rustler and a Stampede. I'm leaning toward buying each in the lowest cost version, with the NiMH batteries and chargers... and then moving up to LiPo ... ID batteries and chargers later. I also know my older son wants to upgrade his Bandit to the brushless fancy engine/gearing, we just don't feel the extra cost is warranted as an initial buy. What are anyones thoughts on this path/plan... and dues my idea seem workable? The one big question I have, at the start ... is for the batteries... is the performance/run time SUPER different and maybe worth the extra cost to bump to the LiPos right away?
