Just today I was out driving my Traxxas electric Rustler. This is nowhere near stock, with the only stock parts being:
-front body mounts
-steering bellcrank
-lower part of rear shock tower
-rear suspension arms
-diff gear and top gear
-slipper clutch

This was my first run on 4s Lipo, and the power is just stupid! No traction could be gotten on loose dirt with HPI Yokohoma tires all around. I was at the park with my friend who has a Traxxas Nitro Rustler (2.5). His vehicle is stock for the most part. He was having a problem with one of his rear CVDs where the ball kept popping out of the cup on the right side after 10 seconds of driving. He adjusted the camber so that it was very negative, and raised the shocks on the shock tower to lower the ride height.

Anyways, each time he had to fix this, he had to stop the engine. I would sometimes help him, and just leave my electric Rustler sitting there, waiting for a throttle input. Once he was all fueled up, he stuck his Rustler on my other friend's starter box (EZ-Start wasn't working). The engine always started right up, and of course my Rustler was already on and ready to go. His nitro engine would take time to spool up, which was noticeable since the tires wouldn't throw dirt immediately like mine would. Mine was also a lot quieter, and you almost couldn't hear it! Overall, I think my electric performed better. Tomorrow I am off to a long stretch of street to hopefully go over 60mph!
