Also imo... Racers are the best bashers. They are typically higher quality and more durable with stronger electronics. They are designed to handle well and are even more "tunable". When I hear someone talk about a "basher" I think a "cheap hobby grade rc" only because it isn't up to racing standards. Real racers do both racing and bashing very well.
