I got a kyosho 1/10 buggy which is not bad....im lookin for somethin much faster and good handling....

There are quite a few threads about this if you do a search. As for which is better, my opinion is the Losi XXXNT followed by the RC10GT and the Rustler if you are racing. If you are bashing and not racing I would go with an RC10GT or Rustler though.

why no Losi if your bashing?
Also are there any decent 1/8th scale Stadium trucks? I was thinking about converting an ETK to an NTK Nitro Thunder King, but if there is something new out that will be better than this please let me know before I sink $400 into an old truck!

Well I have the Losi and it's an awesome truck but the front suspension arms are extremely easy to break. I have only replaced mine with plastic ones but I hear that graphite is alot better. Even if you land a small 2 foot jump bad the arms will snap. Very annoying.

you mean adam drake 
and that kit comes with pretty much everything graphite.
my frined has the rtr xxx-nt sport, and he only broke the a-arms when he ran into a car going pretty fast.
team losi is very good if your gonna do races,l but the rc10gt will be a bit tougher cuz it doesnt have all those plastic parts in there, but will also handle worse.
