  1. Bashing
Okay if any of you are looking for a great two wheel drive basher get a duratrax nitro evader. I will bring the front end up anytime you want it to it evens will raise it up during the accleration incline. It has a lot of balls and takes one hell of a beating. Not one thing has broke except the transmission out of my own stupidty I over tightend the slipper clutch, and the steering servo which again was my own fault.
 
That was my first nitro........ it broke every time i ran it. Stock motor lasted less than 2 gallons. Go with an OS .18 CV-R. It will really open it up.
 
Well I beat the piss out of it yesterday and the only thing that broke was the steering servo but, that was because I hit something.
 
I'm not trying to bad talk you or the car in any way as I have had zero experience with it, but if it's durable shouldn't it stand up to crashes? Now I don't know what conditions the crash was under, but that's just what comes to my mind.
 
Some people's definition of durable differs from others. I had a buddy (acquaintance, really) That would badmouth traxxas left and right because his t-maxx broke every time he took it out. I went bashing with him one day and it turns out he downright abused his RC's. I can't think of one RC that can stand up to a jump 4 feet high at WOT on asphault that wont break something at one point or another. It's the nature of the hobby.
 
When I broke the steering servo it was probably going like 15 or 20 mph and I just caught one tire. It lifted the rear end up spun it around and back down.
