    Default the cheapest way?

    I want to get back into playong with rc cars again. Basically I was wanting to know if anyone knows where to go to build me a brushless rustler. Does anyone have ebay sellers that they know of or places to piece together a rustler for cheap? I need batteries motor the whole thing.

    I'd say ebay may be the best bet to find a roller that already has some hop-ups on it. Same for finding a lightly used brushless system. Or go with a Hobby King system: inexpensive, and reliable.

    Traxxas anything won't be "cheap". What is your budget, all in?

    I have been very happy with my Turnigy motor/esc from hobby king. I've also been happy with the batteries that I have gotten from hobby king. Normally, I am a proponent of dealing locally with a hobby shop, but I acquired a few trucks that already had the hobby king electronics on them and both have been reliable.
    I've got a Stampede roller if interested. I will let it go for 65+shipping. Comes with RPM arms. This can be converted to a rustler very easily. PM me.
