For those reasons yes. I am not racing with it and I am having a hell of a time.

One tank maybe lasts hmm 15-20 minutes around there never actually timed it.

Good luck with your purchase what ever you choose.

Said almost as fluently as Skymaxx could notice I said almost. X
 
all a rustler does is break. I have one with a ton of hop ups and almost new motor I'll sell for 200.00. I got tired of fixing it. Now everything is replaced that breaks.
 
Words of a very wise man.....Keep it on it's wheels and free from barriers and car will not break.

sure, but what fun is that? :sneaky:
 
Driving it right can be alot of fun. Beating the hell out of it and wondering why it breaks is another story.
 
if you beat the hell out of it, you shouldn't be wondering why stuff breaks....accept it, fix it and do it again. Having said that, there are some products that are more durable than others.
Hey some of us like to drive em like we stole em
 
big air with an all four landing and the shock tower breaks. giving it all you have to win a race and the axles falls apart. so you replace it with something that isn't traxxas. then you can finish the race in one piece.
 
damn I'm getting mixed opinions...some say if u use it right, it will not break...some people are making it out to break on regular use....

If i just use without running into walls, will i be ok? and how high can it jump without falling apart?

so yours is now pretty durable? does it come with the battery, charger, etc?
 
Thats strange...I don't see where you guys are getting these problems I haven't had any....anyway from my point of view you stay away from walls and you are in good shape.

I'm with you, Traxxas is the price leader in RC, doesn't mean they are the most durable. The only Traxxas product I have, or ever will own is my T. I would never buy another vehicle from Traxxas. I believe that for a few more $$$ you can get a much, much better ride.
 
I have a nitro rustler and it does break, but i get a lot more out of it. for as hard as i drive it i dont mind replacing parts that are only a couple of dollars.
 
I think that the Rustler is extremely durable. I can count the parts broken on mine on half of one hand from the last year and a half. That is with lots of 30, 40, 50 foot jumps - some on cement. I would highly recommend getting one.
