Help out a newbie....

I'm not sure which car I want to buy for my first r/c car, I want a off-road truck, but I'm not sure which one to get. Right now I'm thinking about the evader st,Ultima ST Ep, or the Traxxas rustler, please tell me about each of these and how well they perform.

Get the rustler with the esc (electronic speed control)it inexpensine,indestructable,
and it's an rtr(ready to run)only thing you'll need is 8 aa's a 6 cell stick pack and a charger.You WON'T be dissapointed.And if you want to race it will start you.

Thanks, how fast can it go and how long is its run time?

i would say that the evader has a better deal it has all the hop-ups wanted but i have heard that duratrak stinks and traxxas cars are always a good choice. BTW welcome to the "sport"

nah go with AE T3. it is way better than the rustler. if you go to www.towerhobbies.com (http://www.towerhobbies.com) you can find the T3 for sale for $204.99 this is a really good truck and RTR (Ready-To-Run) it is 50 bucks more than the rustler but has an ESC and is alot more reliable. go to www.teamassociated.com (http://www.teamassociated.com) you can find lots of info on the T3. good luck and i'm sure you'll have fun with your new truck!

It goes around 20 mph stock.And run time all has to do with the battery but you can probably like 5-7 min. off a cheap sport 1500 pack.Dont listen to tc3 racer I have a t3 rtr and a bandit(it's a rustler with different wheels tires body)And I can't break my bandit but my t3 always seems to be breaking.BUT if your are gonna do some serious racing then go with the t3.

BTW:traxxas customer service is bar none number 1

well of all i would suggest a T3 but you sound like a basher.however T3 parts are sold everywhere and the RTR version is an excellent deal. if you plan to race go with the T3 and it is good for bashing too thats what i use mine for. ;)
