why did you vote?

You don't even know what he's using it for yet!

And it won't be the first car he's ever driven since he said he''s been doing it for about a year now.

The E-Firestorm looks good. But I think that's more for racing. Still be good though.

well, the rustler or the pede would be your best bet. the problem with the rustler is that on a race track it's nothing compared to a t4 and when your all out bashing, it's not as good as a pede. i have a emaxx and a t4. the stampede gives me the center ground clearence i need for bashing, without all the work of a e-maxx. sure it's no racer, but it's still a blast to drive!

a t4 is only really good for the track, unless you have 1/8 wheels and tires on it. Which by the way, you will want for any basher you get, since it will give your truck alot more ground clearance for running in grass. (less contact with grass=less drag=more speed)

Use these if you get a rusty or a stampede:

Because of the offset of 1/8 wheels, these will place the tires at the stock location so that your truck doesn't loose or gain any track width.

I suggest these for bashing:

yeah, a pede sounds like a nice choice, it is prob VERY EASY to convert into a rusty and vice versa (different tires)

it's not very easy to convert back and fourth. sure, it's easy when you have the parts but they arn't cheap. there is much more thats diffrent besides the tires.. such as the chassis.

The new Evader EXT is a real treat for $120! You might want to check it out.

well, thats a very personal desision and one that was hard for me to make. it depends on where you drive and your driving style.. i personally like the pede because it works good for where i drive.
