hi, a question for my bro as his internet ain't workin,

probably been answered before, but what is the best for bashing, no racing, only against me really.

thanks for answers
 
The savage would probably be better but I have watched the revo out jump the savage by a long shoot. So its kind of a toss up.
 
Here is my opinion based on my own experience.i had a HPI Savage a couple of years back.And i spent(a forutne) more time repairing it(Diffs Mainly)than i did bashing it.And it was a nightmare to strip down,When i finaly got it running right the engine blew to bits(NO more HPI for me)

I have 4 bashers at the moment. And one is the Traxxas Revo 3.3(bought second hand).I have to try and stop it doing wheelies:D.The quality build on this is second to none.

I would advice fitting a engine brace though,(cheap and easy to fit):)
 
I have had 2 Revos, and 5 Savages.....Savage is the most durable. A Revo takes a lot of RPM plastics and ti. pivotballs to be able to handle any serious abuse. Don't get me started on the P.O.S. Traxxas engine clutch sytem either.
 
I've got an old T-maxx that I bought VERY used, but all stock. After upgrading it with some aluminum bulkheads, aluminum center braces, some decent skids, a high torque steering servo, some RPM a-arms, some trinity blue springs, and a rollcage it is a decent basher.
All totalled I might have spent $200 in upgrading, and $100 for the truck(it was in rough shape).
That is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying something new and having to upgrade it, and it is a decent basher now.
