Getting a new electric....

[Reptile]

I already have 6 nitro vehicles and I am ready for a decent electric. At first I was looking at the e-revo and it seems like its plagued with overheating equipment and not to mention pretty slow. Cost is somewhat of a factor in this especially since it takes about $550 - 600 to get a e-revo going with decent equipment ( I have the charger already all I would need to get is some decent lipos). So I started to look around some more for a different vehicle and I would really like it to have brushless stock. I think I may have narrowed it down a bit between the e-firestorm flux, vxl rustler, and the speed-t. Which of the top three are better? Ill probably be driving on pavement quite a bit but I dont want to be limited to it so it must be able to handle the grass pretty well. Should I get one of the above or hold out for a 4wd brushless (electric mt-2 would be awsome). I dont want to sound too picky but I would prefer it to be rtr.

I watched the Speed-T race on a tight on-road track this past weekend. It handled incredibly well even with the stock tires. I was impressed.

I can't help you on two of them but i just bought a rustler vxl and its amazingly fun handles great on pavement especially with its stock tires and does well in grass but a different pair of tires would help if you go into the grass even though the rear tires look off road they basically are pavement/ dirt kind of tires. Also since its a traxxas (i forgot the other two you mentioned and can't remember which models they were) there are lots of spare parts if you break/lose a part. Hope this helps if i think of anything else i will add!

I'd go with the rustler

i've got a brushless firestorm and i love it. Very strong truck but lame in stock form. I am betting the flux would be a ton of fun right out of the box.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. They are all three pretty decent trucks.
