rustlers can take a little more of a beating than stampedes. they also handle much better. out of all the rc's i've ever had, my rustler has seen almost as much runtime as ALL the others combined. the traxxas 2wd 1/10 trucks are the ideal if you are looking for low maintainance and reliability. they aren't quite as tough as a slash, but handle much better, especially when jumping. i was launching my rustler 20-30 feet in the air and doing double backflips and only stopped when i bent the shocks like pretzels and put a nice dent in the motor that was caused by the plastic motor mount flexing on impact.
