I don't race, I don't plan on racing, I didn't need a racer. Many years ago I purchased the original Rustler and didn't drive it often, I ended up trading it away and had regretted it right away. I got this one and not the VXL because, frankly, I didn't need the speed of the brushless motor. It's loads of fun, I get to drive it around, jump it, roll it, and just generally don't worry about it (I did break the bumper and bought an RPM bumper, so there's that.) Traxxas parts are available darn near everywhere, for when it does break, and I'm looking forward to many more years with my new truck. I ended up buying an imax b6 charger and a Zeepower 8000mah battery, battery and charger are not included, and I get about 30 continuous minutes of run time. That's not the truck itself but it might be helpful to someone reading this review. I also have an old Speed Gems 2 17t motor that I am using, not the 12t Titan, so that may have effect on run time. It appears that the only bearings that you should get are the 8 wheel bearings, the transmission looks like it is already set up with them. The photo is it next to my 1/18 WLtoys a979, it was just a size reference. Read full review

Not a bad truck. Lots of fun. Easy to maintain. BUT, pay attention, this particular Rustler package doesnt come with a battery or charger which you have to buy seperate. Be sure to check that first. I thought that was annoying but once you have a bettery its a good truck. I've been very pleased with all my Traxxas trucks
