A first truck question

[newbiealec]

I was thinking about buying an electric rustler RTR but i don't want to be dissappointed with it's speed, this will be my first good truck only for backyard bashing and racing my friends SRT with a 19t stinger. Please tell me how fast mine will go and if it is a good newbie truck. :confused: :confused:

i have a rustler and ran it stock for a long time just for backyard. (except for the esc) which is now overheating... a few weeks ago (i've had it for about a year) i decided i wanted more speed, i bought a speed gems 17t single and some new batts. It has been a great truck and i have not broken many parts. (even though i've been pretty rough on it)I am now thinking of getting an rc10b3 next.

When I was doing my homework before I got my wifes Rustler I read in two sepperate places that a rustlers stock speed w/ Bearings was up to 22. Here is a list of stock rcs I found. and so far I have found that this is close. My Blazing Star is listed at 16 and my Wifes Rustler Kicks my butt by quite a bit.

Overall tire size/circumference. It all adds into the final drive ratio.
