Okay guys me and my buddy have been trying to figure something out. I have a duratrax evader st and he has a rc10gt and his dad has a jato 3.3. witch one is the best all around truck. really more for bashing. and speed wise.
 
I would have to go with the jato for bashing and speed. I have a 2.5r and I love the thing to death.
 
i have to go with the RC10GT because i own one i lov the thing to death.. i think its great bashin around with!
 
I have a Jato 3.3 and it has proven to be very tough. I have a nitro evader....it is so-so on bash-ablity. The electric evaders are made out of a special plastic that is very close to glass....the whole thing shatters if you even think about bashing with it. In short the evaders suck IMO. I have had bad luck with Duratrax.....three vehicles.....all were problems. I have a RC10T4 ...not too bad...Stick with the RC10 or Jato.
 
i agree and disagree.. i hate the nitro evader but i love the evader st pro.. it was an awesome basher!!
 
The jato and RC10 can both be made to be solid bashers (RPM sells arms for both).

I proffer the jato due to the two speed. It allows you to have low end grunt and great top speed at the same time. You can't get that out of a single speed rig.
 
Its A nitro evader. And the thing has been as tough as nails for me. The only thing is one time i threw it about 5 feet in the air after hitting a rock and the front shock tower broke. And then only if I ease on the throttle it throws the front in the air. It seems to out run the jato. never been side by side but it really looks faster. Also its a lot more controllable then the jato.
 
I've been pretty hard on my jato without much damage. Especially when I run with guys that are running LST2's. I hit the same jumps they hit, but I hit them faster.
 
Jato 3.3 all the way, you can't stop them. I have bashed mine like crazy. They are crazy fast!
 
I would have to say the traxxas jato for speed durability and also good handling so its the best truck out there right now..!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the xxx-nt more for racing then anything else? I really haven't herd that much about them. Thanks

They usualy are but I use mine for anything. They have loads of aftermarket support. I started with a Losi NXT back in 94/95 and have been buying Losi since then. Havent finished my XXX-NT yet, funds are on hold lol.
 
Well i got the evader and took it up to my lhs and they compared some parts with a rc10 and no match so i guess I will have to just deal with duratrax stuff
 
truthfully, none of those are that great for bashing, i would have to say the jato for speed and bashing.
but one of the better stadium trucks meant for bashing is the nitro rustler 2.5
 
What about electric? What do you guys thins about the XXX-T brushless? Is it tough enough and fast enough? I am thinking about getting one. I have two Losi nitro's already (8 and 8T) but I wanted an electric one that would be as fast and durable.
