There is really only one answer to give you.

HPI Savage.

Undoubtedly the best MT for bashing and jumping. Do a quick search and you'll find out why it is so. I'm sure others will chime in soon and support that.

The best vehicle in this situation would hands down be the HPI Hellfire, absolutely perfect for this situation.

If you want to get a buggy or bashing look into the hyper 7 PCR RTR, if you want more of a truck definently get either the hell fire, or the new Svage X RC drvier magazine did a review on both and they were ranked really high, and the new savage X is like the old savages (which were amzing) but it has all of the problems they had fixed, andf then improved on the handleing and power of it.

If you’re serious about jumping/bashing.........pushing the envelope, go with a buggy. With these, as long as you land remotely level the chassis take the beating, not the suspension. But just in case, pick up some lower control arms of whatever you buy.

ORIGINAL: JATO+NITROSPORT

what about a t-maxx
without about $500 in hop-ups (low number) t-maxx's have a 50% chance of exploding upon landing. you'll deffinately break something unless your a good jumper to start with.

REVO or SAVAGE(my first choice).

but what about the CEN line of trucks they have the same (roughly) design as SAVAGE's?

The 3.3 engine is trash, I wouldnt waste my money, if you can find a revo roller and supply your own engine it would be much better.
