 To put it simply, the Bodacious is a puncher, and the Rustler 11 is a counter-puncher. When the Bodacious hits a snowdrift, everything it hits is wiped out; when the Rustler 11 probes the same surface, it contorts itself to adapt to it, as if trying to disturb it as little as possible. The Bodacious expects you to be fearless, therefore good; The Rustler 11 welcomes initiates with open arms.
 Bodacious is all about domination; the Rustler 11 is play-oriented. The Bodacious requires strength and skill; the Rustler just wants to show you a good time. Another way to characterize the differences between the Rustler 11 and the Bodacious is that the latter expects a little more from its pilot - more speed, more skill, more aggression - whereas the Rustler will happily accept you as you are. are, with all your imperfections.
