Is the dimensions (chassis) beteewn the vxl and xl5 the same? And is it just the motors and escs that make them differ?
The chassis are the same, but there are considerable differences.
Motor and ESC
Better transmitter with blutooth
Different receiver
.Adjustable camber links
Different servo
There may be some other smaller changes I missed. Needless to say,
I'd recomend the VXl.
 
Those are very good points. It is far better to get the VXL now, than to try to upgrade. My friend has a XL5 based Rustler, but put in the VXL motor and ESC. Just not the same as my VXL. Like Zap said, it has the deluxe adjustable suspension, and the brushless, if driven like a brushed, will far outlast the brushed motor. Plus the option to run Lipo batteries is priceless.
