AE RC18B vs. Trinity Blade RTR brushless

I am looking to buy a mini and I think I have narrowed it down to these 2.
What are your thoughts? I havn't seen much talk about the Trinity, but it looks like a pretty awesome truck with the mamba esc and brushless motor and all. The RC18B we all know is good.
I wont be racing, pretty much just bashing. How do the 2 compare durability wise?

Thanks.

The RC18B has WAY more up grades then the blade, i think youll be alot more happier with the RC18B.

I bought a brushless blade. It is fast as hell. I only got to run it for about 15 minutes because I hit the curb at about 40 mph, and the chassis broke and a front suspension arm.

I'm really bummed because I ordered the chassis from Trinity--because no one else has parts---and the chassis is on back order anyway. So now, my car sits for four weeks broken because I can't get parts.

I ordered another brushless blade, so I'll have two--that way I can make sure I get my RC fix. Anyway, the brushless blade is cool.
For $249, it really is a great deal. Watch out rc 18mt drivers: I'm coming for some hard core racing!

If you were gonna be racing, I would say get the Blade. It handles better IMO. For bashing go with the RC18 it is a tougher car, and has more upgrade potential.

if you wanted you could buy the factory RC18b package and then pop in brushless then it will be ready to bash for sure

The Brushless Blade has been working out well; however, I'm really disappointed in Trinity's service. The parts I need are not available from anyone but Trinity. Also, Trinity has a $50 minimum order policy, and when something is ordered it takes too long, and they usually screw up the order.
