I have a pede vxl roller, but no rustler. I do have the rustler chassis and the other parts needed to convert the pede to a rustler...

I'm assuming you've probably driven both before... what's the wheelie factor like? If I get one I'm putting my MM, fiegao 8L, and a 4s lipo in it. I want to have it be insanely fast, but not have such an uncontrollable amount of power as to accidentally flip it if i punch the gas...

Well, the rusty will handle the power slightly better, but neither will be tame with that setup... Pedes are fun, but a bit unstable over 50 mph. If you paln to run it fast get a rusty.

if your gonna be doing alot of street bashing get some slash tires for your rusty they give jsut the right amount to traction to take the instantanious flip overs away and are very predictable... thats what im doing with mine (9L on 3s) and i have it gear for 55 and on pavement its a blast. i was running badlands on it and they were HORRIBLE you couldnt even get over 40 with out flipping it over uncontrollably, and from my experience the slash tires work better than even the anocondas....

id say the slash tires are the best "fast" tire you can get for a 1/10th, not much balloning and totally contronable at all speeds.

I use 1/8th scale on road sedan foams ( they dont balloon) with wheel adapters
