Default RE: Which is more durable?

He's referring to your videos, which is a very very minor "bash" session (if you want to call it that) compared to the jumps/rigors that some other RC'ers put their trucks through (this doesn't include me, I do mostly stuff comparable to what's in your videos). All these "50mph into a pole" claims have yet to show video proof; same with the speed claims. Everyone said the nitro evader ST could do 40+ when it came out.. EVERYONE.. until a few of us purchased radar guns and posted speeds of about 33mph with stock gearing.

You even need to be leery of speed claims in advertisements. The savage X 4.6 advertises speeds of 45+ mph. Most users report a max of 44mph on a good tune. Minor, but when they advertise "45+" many people think that it will achieve at least that speed, if not higher. That said, I'm purchasing a savage this weekend
