where are you going to be running it? if your running on the street alot i would say rustler but if you has some kind of rough off road terrian then buy the stampede.

I have a used Nitro Rustler with 2 trx 2.5 motors, Aluminum c-hub and spindles, aluminum rear hubs, RPM front and rear a arms. The truck does not have a body but is ready to run. Also have an extra chassis. $130 shipped.

I have a nitro sport but its the same at the rustler just a smaller motor all parts fit from a rustler and the thing is tuff as can be i dont know much about the 2.5 cause i had .15 pro but its ok i just upgraded to the 3.3 and wow that thing is nasty. look out jato lol this 3.3 in the nitrosport is bad i just got the 3.3 in today with k&n filter and aftermarket pipe and put on a home made wheelie bar on it now im going to put the larger rustler rims and tires on it with the hex extensions so i would say go with the rustler theres lots of room to make it better and you can find parts every where pluse its tuff as hell with alittle work it will be the fastest thing out there :D

Theres no such thing as a K&N filter for R/C cars - they have K&N styled filters but the company doesnt make filters for R/C

[freelife04239]

well buddy sorry if im wrong BUT my filter says K&N right on the crome part of the filter so if you dont call it a K&N filter then smart guy what do you call it. You must have beter **** to do than come on here and give me a hard time .Ill take a photo and show you it says K&N if you will feel better hows that

[worstenemy453]

Hate to burst your buble but K&N has never made filters for rc cars and you can call/email them to ask because i have already emailed them - i just wanted to informed you that you got ripped off - the 2 best airfilters on the market are the motorsaver and the HPI Savage filters - everything else doesnt get even and these knock off K&N filters arnt even close to as good - I would hope someone would tell me if i bought a fake product so that what i am telling you - Get off your high horse

[freelife04239]

ok well i did not get riped off it cam with a 3.3 i got that had half gal run in it i payed 70.00 and the 3.3 was run ready with clufch fly wheel and EZ start and wires plus it cam with a THS crome pipe and 2 new crystals for radio all shipped 2and day air and 70.00 was the shipped price so i dont think i got riped do you think i did

[worstenemy453]

I think the person who bought it got ripped off but honestly - if yo uwant to save that motor then buy a motorsaver - they are the absolute best filters on the market and i will put my R/C's on that

[freelife04239]

and bunch more parts for it will be a hell of a nice looking truck and fast as hell to lol needs little more wait for the power
what you think of my project so far

The filter that people are buying for RC's that say K&N are nothing but valcover breather filters for 1:1 cars. They are THE single worst part one can add to a nitro engine, followed a close second place by the superchargers.

These filters will never keep the dust particles out of your engine, no matter how well they advertise them. You will smoke that engine within 1/3 the amount of fuel you would if you used the proper foam filter. 1 word of honest and very well founded advice, wull that filter off and put it on your 1:1 car where it belongs, or sell the thing. Get a Motor saver or even a cheapie $5 filter. They will work better and make you motor last 3x as long.

Yeah, that's ghetto as hell to run a valvecover breather on your truck. Plus that filter probably weighs as much as a shoebox full of regular filters. K&N makes great prefilters but I don't run the air filters on my 1:1 vehicles.
I've never had a Stampede but I have had a couple Rustlers, and trust me, you don't want one. I see alot of Jato's going for cheap on RCU. My Jato was a 2.5 and I loved that truck.
