I'd have to disagree with some of your claims. There isn't an MT made that will outhandle, or even handle as well as an RC 10. I doubt it would be more durable either. My RC 10 smashed head-on into a curb after flying more than 10 feet high in the air at 40+ mph and not a single thing was broken. MT's definitely have their place in the RC world, but they won't outhandle a stadium truck. ST's are just as good for bashing as MT's as long as ground clearance isn't an issue.
