Status: offline 		I was wondering people's favorite RC truck for bashing. I am in the market for a new RC Truck and was looking for a fast, sturdy and reliable truck. I have a Earthquake 8E and want to race my cars with my buds. Any Ideas?

Status: online 		Thunder Tiger MT4 G3 is the best overall bashing platform on the market at the moment by a country mile (its also cheaper than a Savage). As long as you don't mind electric.

Just because a Savage is $1000. Does not guarantee that it will be "fast"......

Personally I think traxxas are designed better and easier to work on.
And if i remember right Traxxas have the fastest out of the box RC car on the planet, and it even has steel belted tyres ! When is anyother company really gunna step up to that plate !

The XO-1 looks cool and all, but at the moment I own a Rusty, a Slash, and an MT4 G3.  The MT4 makes the 1/10 Traxxas stuff feel like cheap toys that are engineered to fail.  A big part of that is probably 1/10 vs. 1/8, but the 1/8th stuff is so much more beefy and easier to work on that I'm retiring the slash.
