I've got a Nitro Rustler and its alot of fun. The ez start is nice. If I was gonna buy a new one I'd buy a Rustler or the Jato.

Unless they have changed the system, EZ Start is junk. I can't remember how many of those boxes my two cousins have went through. The one with the T-Maxx just got fed up with it and put a pull start on his. Their trucks are a few years old now, though so Traxxas may have worked the bugs out on the EZ Start system.

I have never had a problem with the EZ start. A friend of mine has a Monster GT and that has the starter set up for a drill or pull start and that is pretty nice. Use the drill to start it when its cold and then one pull of the rope when its warmed up.

I have a t-maxx and love it I love the easy start and rarely have problems withit so i would suggest getting a t-maxx. you can get them new for like 450$ but a good used one is only about 200$.
