Best ST Basher?
 

Just curious as to the public opinion of the best RTR basher.

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

OK fans, HPI and XTM are battling it off!! But, ouch, it seems Traxxas, Duratrax and AE are stuck in the mud!!

lol.

wow no votes for the rusty. im shocked :)

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

so i guess duratrax isnt "duratrash"?

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

were's the xxx-nt???? But I like my rc10gt. All the other trucks are nice also.

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Alot of duratrax stuff wasn't very good. But they cleaned up their act with the evader. It's a great truck

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Got that right:D

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

See? It's called unbiased comments. The RC10GT was my first truck. Completely awesome. However, the evader seems to handle slightly better and has a sealed reciever box. Good stuff, oh and also, everyone and their mom has a RC10GT

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

leave my mum out off this she has her own things to rorrie about hahahahah i live for thoses jokes

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Evaders a good truck but for bashing nothing beats a nitro rustler... over powered and high ground clearace :D. Out of all of the toys I have now I still play with the rusty the most.

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Rustys are pretty awesome, but i never really broke stuff on my evader. I switched to all aluminum for extra weight so i could still have contact with the ground when the .18 TZ goes in

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Why wasn't the Jato included in this poll? ;) Actually I don't have one (yet) but I have heard it holds its own in the durability department.

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

whats a JATO

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Jello Action toast off?

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Jato = Jet Assisted Truck for Off-road.

I have a HPI nitro MT and it, hands down, beats the Evader as far as bashing goes. 4WD vs 2WD, MT is built much heavier and more so like a 1/8 buggy. Worse part of the MT are the stock differential gears (cast aluminum). HD gears can be had for quite an investment, but I've seen people run .21 size engines with the HD gears and have no problems.

MT got my vote for bashing.

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

the xxx-nt and the jato are out of my price range, especially the jato. thats why they werent included. i just put down stuff i could afford. i just put the xxx-nt up, however, b/c i know thats a great truck. if it gets alot of votes, ill save up a little more and buy it, but im a little anxious right now :)

im pretty sure tho ill go with the rusty. whats the best/biggest engine i can put in it and with what mounts? i wont be racing, so im not gonna spend $200 on some OS .12 9102243port turbo lol. what is the difference between normal and turbo?


EDIT 1: why is the Jato so much? $350 for a .15 stadium truck? and its so small. saw one at local hobbytown.

on a side note: do the twin engine models (giga crusher DF, hot bodies gtx2, ect) preform better than single engine models?

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

get a OSm 18 TM its is a direct fit, ez start and all, with no mods. as fro turbo vs standard, turbo plugs are glow plugs that have a perfect shape, that is perfectly contoured fro turbo engines.

rc10gt.... i took my eavader off a 2 ft ramp and broke a arm and shocktower

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Predator
Those are Big mountain trucks. I don't own one, but I imagine they don't perform well because they are so heavy. The aern't even fast for having 2 big blocks. Plus for the price.......

savageman-
How was that landing, what surface did you land on, and how fast were you going?

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

the landing was good the back was a little lower than the nose but my gt took much worse stoff than that.. and like 15mph

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

dont mean to be picky but team losi make the xxx-nt

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

Not picky at all :) im suprised i made that mistake. thx for pointing it out. :)

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

ok. looks like the evader is winning. how does it compare to the rustler? does it go faster?

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

if you get the evader just waring you... be ready to break parts and the stock motor that comes with it is a p.o.s

RE: Best ST Basher?
 

i thought the motor was o.s. made for duratrax? but whatever. i think im going with the rustler anyway.
