If I were you and had the money get a revo. They are great for bashing and racing so if you want to bash wiht it it will be a basher and if you want to race with it it will be a racer. So the revo is a all in one truck if ask me. The hop ups for it are ok but give the companys a coulple of more months and it will be a one truckin band it will do the bashing on weekends and the racing on week days. Hope this helps oo yeah one more thing get the REVO if you are going to get a mt.
