RE: basher
the rustler is a good basher. but it is cheap. if you have the money 4 wheel drive is always better but normally more expensive. so for somebody who has the money the flux i perfect but for somebody who dosent have the money the rustler is also reasonable for bashing. thats why i mentioned the vxl.

RE: basher
You cant hop up a regular e-savage with huge brushless power, its not made for that.............the 3905 e-maxx is brushless ready, and can handle the 2200 mamba system.

RE: basher
i would pay the extra 100 because i like the revos looks and the suspension is really awsome and has more costimization because of the rockers. it is also less of a monster truck then the e-maxx because it can be lowered slightly more than the e-maxx or jacked up way high to rival the e-maxx suspension because of the rockers. it is a pretty cool truck. but they are both great trucks. i have the revo and i have heard great things about the e-maxx. however i heard the revo is slightly tougher. however it really comes down to which truck he likes better also.
