I got one in my Maxx. It's a little low on power for the Maxx, but for the Rustler, it should be a PERFECT replacement motor. Mines' run reliably since I bought it 5 years ago (course, it's been stored for 3 years). You definately got a steal of a deal there. I paid $100 when it came out (course, I worked for the shop where i got it from, so I got a huge employee discount).
