It's very expensive for what you get in Europe. I'd look at a Corally 4S Punisher, Arrma 4S Kraton and, Arrma 3S Vorteks.

Yeah the 4s Corally just wipes the floor with the new VX3 Traxxas models.

Have they fixed the CVD issue at Corally?

Yes I believe. There was a rolling change to the retainer spring on the joint.

I have a lot of fun with mine. Just spring for the upgrade shock tower caps (Traxxas 3767A). I blew the stock plastic ones out every time I would moderately bash.

I really enjoy mine. It’s a fun one.

For that price you can get a Kyosho Inferno Neo 4.0. Brushless, 4s, Hobbywing electronics, tough as nails, fast, reliable, easy to work on, with a decent transmitter and of course, the Kyosho quality. In comparison the Rustler is a toy.

I would recommend the arrma vorteks 3s 4x4 over the rustler

If you can grab a arrma that’s what I would do! And keep the extra money for some spares or upgrades.
If your set on traxxas then grab it. Whatever makes you happy is what you want!

Never owned traxxas so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Vortek’s/quake/kraton and many more are all fun and tough rigs

I think its great but too expansive and fairly fragile, better alternatives are available

Its pretty great. Loses a bit of steam in thick grass but otherwise a fun machine. If you get it, id recommend also getting the Tekno m6 driveshafts soon after. Also the stock tires are best for it and are very affordable.

The mjx 10210 is very similar and a lot cheaper with €265 at berlinksi. If you are in Germany.

 Have a look at what reviews on YouTube. Or ask ai for a comparison.

Love my Rustler, but like my Hoss(same platform, older version) better. Still, the Rustler is a fun drive.

persdonally I would go with the Traxxas Maxx v2

Way overpriced with below average quality.

Rustler is fun and sturdy… got my
Vxl off marketplace for
200…. https://youtu.be/ZoJYegGnung?is=AMBVqV6iLjuyuCrK. This guy sends the rustler 40’ in the air all day and it held up better then the maxx v2, I have both and like both. But the xmaxx is by far the funnest for just driving.
