guys that race tend to buy for handling and not so much durability. where as basher its all about how much they can beat it and it holds up ... HPI and Traxxas are definately the best bashers, and losi and associated are the better racers. its like electronics .. a racer will buy a 300.00 Tekin ESC, 100.00 BL motors and 150.00 2s lipo's ... and tweak their timing up to get the most out of they're bl motor and as long as it perform's good for em they're good to go. 99% of all the racer's i know would not ever think of buying a RTR vehicle, only kits ... its all about what you want out of the hobby. racing or bashing, its all about the fun you have with the hobby.
