I got a buddy who owns a Hpi and it's pretty cool but I own a sport and it's a pretty tough car. I've had it for about 2 months now and I put in a metal gear steering servo, masher 2000's, Rams ultra lights 120 kit w/headlights and tail lights, stage 3 airfilter. I've done jumps on my kicker ramp, stages, walls, and done cartwheels, rolls, frontflips, and back flips and the only thing went wrong is my spur gear. So as a sport owner.....sports is cool. I'm looking foward to get more traxxas vehicles like T-maxx or Stampede, has to me nitro cuz with out the loud noise coming out of the exhaust it aint for me.

Well the fastest out of the 3 is the gt. The most durable one is the sport. The best off road cap. is the sport. Best acceleration is th gt. Parts avail. is a tie between the gt and sport and the best racing one is the gt. It all comes down to whether you want to race the gt or bash the sport. I havent heard to many good things about the rush.

I agree with nitroguy. The RC10GT is a good truck it has good speed, acceleration, and pretty tough. The sport is more userfriendly and forgiving.

I own all three. I like my RUSH the best. Unless you get the rc10 gt team , dont waste your money. The sport is fast but lacks the nessassarys to be a real racer. the rush comes with a slipper and a full aluminum chassis and shaft drive. I run the Rush the most and break it the least.

i have a sport with an XTM .15 and an AE tuned pipe. I would put it up against any rc10gt team, factory, regular, or whatever. im not sure what the mean by doesnt have the stuff to race. The design is basically the same. Handles basically the same. Only major difference is the motors. The others come with better steering and some other stuff but they cost more so you could upgrade your sport with the extra money you would be saving. MY 2 cents
