Hey, I am getting into the market for a new car, and my friend got his Nitro Rustler today. I don't know if I should get a pede or rustler. I also kind of want more travel in the shocks and it to be a truck. I don't know if i should sacfrice these for the rustler. Thx!

Or get a T-Maxx and put a .21 in it ;) :D ($$$)
Then you'd cane your mate.
But seriously, I'd go for the Rustler unless you just want to do real harsh off roading. If so get the maxx

the n-pede will do wheelies out of the box. with a gear change and tuned pipe it will run with a n-rustler just fine

This is quite true...but u must think. The Pede with the mods above can easily keep up with a NR but if you want shaper turns and tighter handling then get the NR. The pede is tippy and will cramp your style if you like fast turns and rubber smokin' spin-outs. But bottom line is...your buying it so just think about your driving style.

Good Luck!!!:)

Domestic bodies are abundant...especailly ford f-150's and chevy silverado's...unfortunately Parma has not answered me about making a Toyota Tundra body for the Nitro Rustler. Of course they make one for the RC-10...go figure.

If any of you Nitro Rustler guys out there want to help me get the Tundra body for Nitro Rustler, write in to parma like i did and tell them to start production on it right away!!! Pronto!

Have fun!

Rustler! becauseit is faster and you can't race monster trucks at tracks. If you whant clearence just put a larger gear and masher 2000 tires.

are you ppl stupid the pede is the best 1/10 scale truck ever made it will go as fast as rustler with diff settings pop wheelies on command and i have much more bottom end then my friends rustler plus i ramp higher and farther and offroad way better. But im getting a maxx for christmas and it will offroad better. oh yeah and pede climbs better :o

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION! If you've ever seen a Stampede up close it looks like a cheesy rip-off of a T-Maxx. Also, unlike the Stampede, the Rustler enjoys a dual personality: It is comfortable on or off road. But let's face it, they share about 90% of the same components. So, for me, it boiled down to looks.

um how can a n-pede be a cheesy rip-off a tmaxx.
the n-pede was around before any t-maxx was even thought of.

all it comes down to is personal choice.
if you like the n-pede and wanna go with big ground clearance GET IT.

if u wanna get a car that goes fast on road and can still go offroad get the n-rustler.

its up to you. but in the end u are the only one who can decide
