But not sure which batter to snag, haven’t been into rc cars for the last 13 ish years so i’m a bit rusty The short battery for tra rustler is shown below. Currently looking at the 6400mah 11.1v 3 cell 25c (part #2857x) with the battery hold down kit

But is that my best bet
My buddies have cars that go around 70ish mph, mostly going to be used in the dunes.
Bury the throttle and the rustler 4x4 launches its front wheels skyward as it shreds the ground underneath. There are several battery options available for the rustler vxl, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Rustler 4x4 vlx models are available with two different types of chassis the 1 st chassis only supports a short lipo rustler battery (length within 137mm), and the 2 nd chassis supports a long and short lipo battery
