Hey guys, I am fairly new to RC after coming back to the hobby after 8 years, and have been bitten hard by the brushless bug. I have a Rustler VXL that I love, but am finding myself setting it up more for parking lot bashing then anything off road. That being said, I want to get something for dedicated off road use. <div></div><div>I would like something which is very durable and great for bashing, but still gives me the chance to race occasionally. I find that most bashing terrain is too rough for the rustler, and would like something with a bit more capability. 4wd and electric brushless are requirements for me.</div><div></div><div>I was thinking maybe an E-Revo Brushless or a Brushless truggy would be best, but I am not sure how they compare. I know the Truggy handles a lot better, is more durable, and is faster, but how does it compare for bashing on rough construction sites?</div><div></div><div>Are truggies really that much more durable then an E-Revo? There is nothing worse then going out with your friends and breaking something right away, leaving you to watch the rest of the time. Parts for the E-Revo are easy to find locally, but I am not sure about any of the truggies out there. </div><div></div><div>How about buggies, how much does their rough terrain capability and durability suffer compared to truggies? would a buggy better suit me?</div><div></div><div>If I go truggy, what would be the best to get for maximum bashing durability but still able to avoid embarrassing myself at a race? I have yet to try racing, but I am guessing 80% of my time would be spent bashing and 20% racing.</div><div></div><div>I know AE makes an electric truggy, how is it durability wise? What are some other options? Am I best off converting a roller?</div><div></div><div>If I go with an E-Revo Brushless, how likely am I to find some good racing? Is electric monster truck a popular class?</div><div></div><div>Do you guys find the E-Revo to be pretty bulletproof, or is it just waiting to break compared to a truggy? My Rustler needed a lot of parts to make it bulletproof, but now it can take anything. I was hoping to avoid that process again, but am more then willing to do it if necessary. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it.</div>
