Hi, need some help on this one please.

Because of the bad weather the itch for a mud basher is coming back again.
I don't want to throw my gems (Kraton, Typhon, Baja Flux) in the mud.

I had an ECX Ruckus 2wd brushless and a BRCC for this but they had to many issues with the mud or too many broken drivetrain parts.

My demands:
  • 1/10 or 1/8 scale
  • At least 3s, up to 6s, and capable of handling that (so steel driveshafts (or upgradable), firm diffs etc.)
  • Very easy maintenance because it will need it a lot
  • Cleanable with a hose
  • 2wd has much lower maintenance but 4wd is much more fun in the mud so 4wd
  • Parts availability should be online stock
  • The best sealed diff housings available
  • Any brand is ok
I like to wrench and price is not really an issue.

What should i get?

How deeps the mud?
I'd say an Arrma Senton 6S BLX but then you might want something with more ground clearance and bigger tyres.

What about an Arrma Notorious 6S BLX?
;)
 
Thanks for the suggestion but I actually don't want a third 6s Arrma. It's because you first have to strip it down to install sealed bearings, install the necessary upgrades (alu chassis braces, servo mount, better servo) and there is to much dirt coming into the rear hubs. I installed cvd's for that.
Buy the time i'm done it'll be summer ?

Yes, i am aware of that, but for sure there are differences, that's the whole point of my question.
Any advice instead of some general conclusion?
