the oringal rush did have a chassis prob, but hpi han a chassis hand in deal for it and the rush evo as a thinker chaissis for it. TO your question, the savage is a great truck and likely the best basher. For something different go for rthe mad force, or a truckzilla conversion, but buy what you what to drive and not what someguy on the internet is telling you to to buy.
Goo luck and i hope you have a good time with your truck
