As said earlier, most underestimate the light/high rev 6L. The "L" makes the diff as you need torque with the 380 rotor. I run RPM StableMaxx wheels on my WidePede & 380C-6L & highly recommend it, it delivers the torque. I run it with my Tmaxx and its amazing performance. BK 7020 ESC on 7cells. Get extra 4tec steel stub axles tho.
Maxx tire is 5.75"x3.75". It looks small compared to the 7"x4" Moab 40 on the Tmaxx. My modded Maxx was radared at 46mph. I made a "speed run" on 7 old GP3300 stick config at 20/84 gearing on Masher 2K tires and the Pede wasted my Maxx, it's over 50mph on the 380C-6L (7cell).
380C-6L has big wires, & uses them if you got strong batts, recommended. 7-8 strong cells and you'll break stuff. I use neg expo on my TX.
With the Maxx tires (another 1lb extra) the 380C-6L still turns the rears into pizza cutters (when held up). On the ground, it still cooks, ~40mph, and motor never goes above 60C (constant runs), its heatsink works. ESC hits 70C, powered by tiny 4cell 2/3AAA NIMH, so no cogging here, I've even used a 7cell 1900 Nicad. Haven't even tried my new 3800 sXs packs yet, just made em.
For a Pede/Rustler, the 380C-6L is great. I think the heavier 4400K/V 540 8S is a good motor, but amp/cell hungry, not as efficient on low cells, no heatsink, JMO. I wanted my Pede on 7 sXs & decent runtime. The Maxx rubber hurts the runtime a bit, but I can always get some Komodo dragons as I have my orig maxx rims, when I want to race around ballistic style.
