Is the traxxas rustler vxl brushless rc car any good?

im interested in getting an electric rc car. im thinking of a stock slash or a rustler vxl. im only interested in the stock slash cuz i hear alot about durability and the water proof engine etc. but im also interested in getting the rustler vxl because i can get it pretty cheap and it sounds like a good fast car. but is it durable? give me some pros and cons about it? what kinda maintenance is needed?

i would get rustler xl-5 over vxl. reason being is that unless you want to dump $100 on a lithium charger and over $100 per battery pack, it is too expensive. the rustler, slash, and stampede are all very durable. i never broke a single part on my stampede and that was with letting my non rc friends try and crash into things. i had a xl-5 stampede which i sold after a year intending on getting a vxl, but then i realized that it wasnt gonna be much faster if i used the same batteries, i would have to invest a couple hundred dollars in batteries, instead i bought a team losi aftershock(1/8 scale nitro monster truck)

in case you didnt know, the rustler and stampede are nearly the same.

the slash, rustler, and stampede are all waterproof in xl-5 form. if i were you, i would get an xl-5 vehicle and buy a couple 7-cell packs. i believe that you have to have 7 cell hump packs on the stampede and i assume it is the same on the others but im not sure. i only had 6cell packs and felt it needed just a bit more power. try to get 7 cell packs that are close if not above 400mAh

Pros for vxl:extremely fast with correct batteries, car itself isnt too expensive
Cons for vxl: expensive batteries, expensive charger, you need some experience to control an rc car going upwards of 60 mph

Pros for xl-5: inexpensive car, reasonable batteries, reasonable charger, WATERPROOF, beginner friendly.
Cons for xl-5: ummmmmmmmmmmmm, after a year it may seem slow but if you have 7 cell battery its ok.

i dont know about vxl maintenence but i had to adjust gear mesh 2 times on my stampede but that is very easy to do. it doesnt get too dirty because it is electric
