Default new rc nitro 1/8 truck/ truggy

hi I want a nitro 1/8 truck or truggy that is durable fast and can handle jumps. I am looking at the savage x 4.6 but I don't know if I will like it or not. what do you guys recommend?

Savage can really handle jumps mine took a pile of abuse with no breaks. Just don't expect to be doing races with turns as it handles like a cinder block on wheels. Just for the record not saying a cinder block on wheels is a bad thing as the Savage is easily one of my favorite RC's

Nexx 8T if you want a truggy its based off the Jammin line(actually they dropped the lines name and renamed em nexx) which from a few ppl they used to post here said the nexx 8t was great. I own a jammin X1 CRT (the 8t is the 3rd revision), and can't complain its strong, and can take some real punishment.


Edit wow did I screw up on the 1st line... Just re-read it what I get for posting right after I wake up

I don't think you would be disappointed with the savage, definitely a durable truck !
A friend I bash with has a savage x, we hit the same jumps and ive broken a few parts here and there with my 2.5 t-maxx and the savage
just keeps on going.
Ihear the 4.6 is a beast.
