should I get a traxxas rustler or an hpi mt2 G3.0

[rcrager]

I am looking at getting a traxxas rustler or an hpi mt2 G3.0 I'm not new to the rc world but I need some help with an expensive decision. I like that the mt2 is 4wd but the rustler has a little better speed and I already have had a traxxas and it has served me well. Any opinions or help would be great.

Id say go with the hpi for a taste of a different brand. Plus 4wd is a win win.....

yeah 4wd is all about fun where a 2wd you really gotta get used to the handling alot more.. dont get me wrong I love my 2wd rigs that I have but nothing beats a 4wd go anywhere attitude!!!

100% right handeling on a 2wd is a lot different .i have a rustler and a revo and even though the revo sits higher it is in my opinon easyer to drive .rustler is faster and the front like to float a little makes hard to controll at high speed.but mine also has a 2.5 in it an dit is pretty dam fast.

still a lot of fun but it flipes if it just hits a little rock or bump

yup I here you I have a 3.3 jato and a brushless 2wd slash... and a hpi rs4 which is 4wd and wow the difference.. I also have a classic t-maxx that I made 2wd big diff from the 4wd maxx even though it is slammed to the ground it is alot different to drive!!! Both are fun as heck it is just the prefrence to the driver really!!
