I run a Neu 1506 in my Rustler and IMO it's the perfect motor for any 1/10th 2wd. You can have them ordered with a 1/8th inch shaft and they are beastly motors. I was pushing 60+ out of mine on 3s and ran out of batteries after over an hour of speed runs up and down the street and (with FLM transmission case) my motor temp was 140 degrees in 85ish degree weather. I have the 1Y (5500KV) so it has the spunky, rev-happy driving characteristics of a Castle motor like the 5700 but it will out-torque the VXL any day. I got mine brand new off eBay for $105 shipped, keep an eye out and you should be able to find some good deals, or just swing the money for a real one.
A VXL is the best choice as far as value for money, I bought 3 of them on eBay (again, brand new) for $60 each but after running that Neu I will never put a VXL in my Rustler, nothing holds a candle to that motor.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
