Looking at the earthquake 8e or the aftershock 8e? Unless there's better suggestions. Just don't want something that breaks every time I flip it.

Those are both very nice vehicles.

I would however suggest a Caldera 10E for backyard bashing. My son who is 6 has put his through hell and back and it has yet to break anything.

Only issue is stock servo but I think that might be taken care of now with newer units.

of the 2, the aftershock is a tad more durable.
any RC with massive tires puts more strain on parts with it flips/crashes
but obviously the earthquake will tackle really rough terrain a bit better.

the aftershock handles better tho. the tires ballon less which helps you keep control of it.

its really more about whether you monster truck or a SCT truck

The Avalanche XP even preforms in the snow with flying colors.

you can crawl over some pretty impressive crap with a earthquake, the other night I crawled over a giant rock in my drive way that is like 2 feet high at the highest point
