depending on the hop ups and the driver a rustler cn run with and beat a t3 or xxxt just depends on what you want to do. mine has been clocked at 43 mph.

I highly doubt it going that fast, you could get one going in the LOW 30's possibly, but stock, i say around 20 mph.

Yeah they are Jay, as long as you obey the rules for the class you want to run. Noone rarely runs them because Traxxas doesn't sponser drivers, and they can be hard to make competitive. :rolleyes: :p :rolleyes:

jayskiia: what did you equip your EP Rustler with to attain 43 mph? :eek:

Probably about 10 batteries, and a 6 turn motor, mine is modified to the max, the only thing that i could do more to it would be CVD's and Ti tie rods, but it is just not worth it.

ok guys here it is i have a rustler with oversized bearings, traxxas canber links, road rage tires for the pass, novak dually esc, RADIO SHACK 3000 mah batteries, 9t speed gem motor, i lowered it using shock spacers, and i have a hitec lynx fm radio setup, other than that all i did was played with the gearing setup until i found a radical low acceleration, high top end setup that was the fastest for my truck. :cool: :cool:
