I own my XXX-T and love it.... i wouldnt trade it for any other electric ST..... the radio system that s comes with the XXX-T is AWSOME.... and the ESc is really good too... the motor is alright but for $30 you can get it running up to about 40 mph ( then you should upgrade the ESC)
the manual that comes with the XXX-T is very helpful as well...i guarentee you will not be disapointed... i bash the heck outta my car (for 3 month so far) and the only parts (3 of them) i have broken were my own fault (learning to drive\ jumping it on hard pavement)

is this your First "hobby class " RC car??
ill be glad to answer any of your questions buying the XXX-T was the best $270 i ever spent!!!

i own the rustler and i love it to death but at the same time i have to say if you dont like doing mods and just looking at stuff and fiddling with it go with the xxx-t. one of the reasons ilove my rusty is cause ive done so many mods on it and i like just fiddling.

after a few weeks of looking i found a nice selection of hopups for the XXX-T at various sites ranging from Anodized Screw kits to T6 aluminum suspenion arms and everything in between so there is room for improvment ( not that you will really need it)

Are you rich or poor? That is the only question. How can you even compare these 2?

Hard to believe it, but the car that costs $120 more is better. Wow. What a surprise!

i beg to differ!!! [X(] i bash the heck outta my XXX-T and its still going strong, only 3 broken parts in 3 months (they were all from stupidity), i do big jumps with my car too ... im sure it would be good for racing but i never have taken it to the track

also remember you get what you pay for... heres an example... you buy a Sony camera for $50 your friend buys a sony camera for $300 its obvious the $300 camera will be of better quality....the same applies to rc...just to give you something to think about

The Rustler will be more durable, period. If anyone has a different idea, they obviously haven't driven both, or driven both hard. I abused my poor Rustler and the many Pedes' I had to death, but they kept on tickin'. Let me find the vids of my Rustler jumping off the roof of my shed, landing on gravel ground, and driving away..

Rustler needs a bunch of mods to make it adequate for racing, XXXt really is ready for it. But then, so is the evader... XXX is just stiffer and more responsive, with a tiny bit lower center of gravity.
