The Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR 1/10 RC Stadium Truck is a great truck for racing or bashing around the neighborhood. It's fast and nimble, and can handle jumps and rough terrain with ease. The Slash 4x4 VXL Brushless RTR Short Course RC Truck is also a great choice for racing or bashing, but it's more geared towards off-road driving. It has longer suspension travel than the Rustler, making it better suited for rough terrain, but it's not quite as fast or nimble.
