I'd stay away from Arrma until the Hobbico situation gets resolved.
Take a look at the redesigned Losi 3Xl LST. A tough truck with good parts availability.It is powerful on 4s and crazy on 6s.

I am going to take a good look at that Losi.

Right now there are a fair number of Servos failing on the Traxxas ERevo 2.0 forum. Could be a supply issue or who knows.

If I upgraded the servo on the ERevo then I would be pretty much close to the pricepoint of the Losi. And I guess there in lies the conundrum with RCs. Go for something a bit higher end which needs less or do the upgrade path on a smaller scale to toughen and speed them up? Even though Arrma are well regarded for their toughness you need to plan for a servo mount on a Kraton or Outcast based on my reading. So... No RC is obviously perfect out of the box.

I am going to do some more research on the Losi and see what I think.
