The traxxas rustler has a mamba max 5700 brushless motor setup. The mamba max setup retails for $250 by itself. The Rustler also has RPM A arms in the rear. Other than the halfassed homemade battery tie down, everything else is stock. The wheels are mismatched, but oh well. It comes with a high discharge 3300mah 3 cell lithium polymer battery. It will do backflips, lol, and on the same gearing run around 60mph. Run time is around 10-30 minutes. Depends on how you run it.
The Trinity has the factory brushless motor and mamba speed control. The battery has been upgraded to a higher capacity 3-cell(11.1v) 2200mah, high discharge rate liPo battery pack. With the size of this truck, this is as good as it gets. It has new thicker aluminum front and rear shock towers. Even from the factory these little trucks are nearly uncontrollable. I added a heatsink to the motor, with the longer run times from the 2200mah battery pack it can get pretty hot. Runtime should around 30 minutes on this battery pack. I haven't run it out since I've owned it, so I'm not sure, lol.
Traxxas Rustler, lipo battery, & Radio - $300
Trinity Next, lipo battery, charger & Radio - $150
I've got the factory charger for the trinity, which works with both batteries, but will take a while(overnight usually) to charge either of these batteries, because they are made for high rate charging. It just works from a wall outlet and is very simple. It will go with the Trinity because it's the factory charger that came with it, but if you buy either or both trucks you also have the option of buying my other charger...
Sold the other charger elsewhere. You can buy a cheap simple lipo charger at towerhobbies.com or ebay.
Nitro trucks are noisy, dirty, and you have to buy fuel. These electric trucks run cleaner, quieter, are faster, and you don't have to buy anything else to keep running them. I won't lie and say they are cheaper, though :D
Sorry about the picture quality, I broke my digicam so my phone is all I have :(
I am also interested in a carry gun, but I like all sorts of guns, so offer away. Or we can work out a truck + a little cash from me, or the other way around. I'm not interested in car parts or really anything other than guns and cash. Just send me a PM.
I'm in Warner Robins, work in NW Macon, prefer FTF local deals.
