I had a couple of them about 4 or 5 years ago. I traded them for the Villain IV boat. I'm pretty sure I had 24 turn stingers in one or both. I was running 3000 MaH NiCad batts, but I don't remember my gear ratios. Shortly thereafter I went nitro and never looked back. Only my boats are electric and I'll be going brushless on that.
They're not POSs, but very tough and fast. I liked them.

I should also add that when you get the urge to run something, throw it on a quick charge, and throw it out the door and run. Never a problem with fuel, or dead glow plug, bad ignitor or neighbors who don't like noise. It will take care of an instant RC fix anytime you need it, AND, when it's set up right, it can run with the best of them.

My son has a Rustler XL5. I plan on putting the Traxxas Velineon brushless system in it before next spring. Great price for a brushless setup. You will need to upgrade the gears to steel however.
