Hi
I was looking for an offroad car to bash around the garden/field. I'd like something durable, you know, something that doesnt break easily. I like the brushless ones, but the brushed can do it.
And i'd also like to know if there i a differense between free wheel trucks like the e-revo and the closed weel trucks (dont know the name of that kind of wheels) like the slash?

Savage flux
Savages are some of the most durable things I've seen
My Nitro savage X has survived a 18 foot jump into a tree at full speed and landing on its roof on concrete with no damage (all in one jump) among some of the many ultra bad landings I've had. And the flux uses most of the same parts so its durability should be equal to or greater than the savage X seeing they don't got a huge engine cooling head to protect.

The Savage Flux is nice if you can afford a $600 truck and the batteries/charger to go with it. For less than half the price, I'd recommend a Traxxas Stampede VXL. Very durable, really quick, and loads of fun. Plus you only need 1 battery at a time to run. Keep in mind it's 2wd, so it won't do what a Flux can do, but it has a good amount of ground clearance and larger tires for some fairly challenging terrain that stadium trucks would have a hard time handling. That's just my opinion, but I have enjoyed my Stampede VXL for over 2 years now and I'm all smiles every time I run it.

Well, indeed they look very nice[img][/img], but i was looking for something in the traxxas/hpi/hbx section. (tamiya ain't my style)

. The stampede is actually one of the highest m onster trucks i've ever seen
now that you say it, but I like it when it is lower, like the other trucks
