Best new nitro rc under 350

[OBS4EVER]

How does it feel to spend someone else's money? I want one now.

I have an xl1 rustler, ain't nothing older but the mechanical speed control models. It had a very similar body which is why I was looking at it. That Ford is sweet though. I love the rims too.

Thanks. I need to shine the rims and running boards up though.

I won the auction for the vintage nitro rustler for $90. Maybe I'll post a build thread on it once it arrives.

If you keep the .15, I suggest this.

Getting hard to find. I grabbed one not too long ago.

I am planning on keeping the .15 the engine has only been ran once.

Sweet. Here's my sport with the pipe if your interested in a real world pic. The stock rubber part between the pipe and header goes fast at the bend from the exhaust hitting it on the inside.

Here are factory replacement and optional parts.

Thanks. I chose a Traxxas as the parts are easy to get. What do you think a general top speed is for a pro .15 rustler.

My nitro sport is advertised as "38+ mph" I'm assuming its the same. stampede talons may give yoi another mph or two.

Not a bad top speed. I watched speed tests on the 2.5 model and they couldn't get it over 43

Nothing a lil port and polish can't fix.
