If you want a kit those are kind of rare outside Tamiyas
If monster Truck HPI Savage X or XL can take some royal abuse (RTR
)
Buggy Hong Nor X1x CR (RTR again) Got one can take some decent abuse
Truggy Hong Nor X2 CRT (RTR) I got a X1 CRT and it is pretty durable. The X2 is supposed to be better in every way
Stadium truck HPI Bullet Don't own one (HPI won't sell em in the US...) but they are remade lightning GT10's that were known for being robust.
Basically it almost don't matter if you buy a RTR or kit seeing most RTR's should be completely taken apart before running to make sure the diffs and gears are shimmed right, and in the buggy and truggies case to add diff fluid and clean out the grease.
If you need any info on the hong nor X's look up reviews on Ofna Jammin's (what they are sold as in the US)
out of the 4 I named the savage will take the most punishment with the least broken parts (I only bash my RC's) The Jammin CRT would be #2 in abuse taking
Think HPI makes a RS4 evo 3 with a subaru body
thanks for that, allot has changed since i was last into cars. and it looks like i have allot to catch up on.....whats the rep like nowadays for the kyosho inferno mp7.5 as i still have a burning passion for one ever since i was a kid looking through the mags. i remember reading them on a night instead of the usual porn mags haha. to me back then anything with an rc was classed as porn to me.
i do like the look of the savages its just for some reason they dont really apeal to me.
as for the kit subject it dosnt really have to be a kit because like you said il end up ripping it apart to make sure everything is petrfect and not badly assembled.
