What do you guys non-crawler use to just bash around with? I'd say my brushless stampede has to be my best basher. I picked up a brushless twin force from ebay that I have yet to try out.

TwistedCreations · 12-02-2005, 06:58 PM

I would have to say my Pede that I had.. it would take an absolute beating and never break. I may just have to go get another one someday

OldSchoolCrawler · 12-02-2005, 07:01 PM

I don't know about the "bashing" but I love to play around with my original blackfoot. I also enjoy old buggies like my RC10's, ultimas and kyosho raider. Just good time cars that make me feel like a kid again.

XB_BOY · 12-02-2005, 07:03 PM

my best basher would be my pajero xc as it has never broken and drive my cars like i stole them.

RD400 · 12-02-2005, 07:28 PM

My Losi BK XX, or my Alpine Tamiya. The Losi has a 5800 SS, silly fast for great curb jumping. The Alpine has a 14 double, great for running up and down the street.

Cake Eater · 12-02-2005, 08:23 PM

By far it'd have to be my (almost)bone stock E-Maxx. It's the one I let my girlfriend drive because it's nearly indestructible.
My old AE-T2 is quite a tough beast too.

JasonInAugusta · 12-02-2005, 08:30 PM

Stock E-Pede with a 15 turn Speed Gems.

Notice the ultra-trick paint.

rockcrawler_101 · 12-02-2005, 09:32 PM

tamiya dirt thrasher with a 12 turn and 7 cells makes for some fun jumps.

STR8_UP · 12-02-2005, 09:57 PM

my fav. basher is my RC10GT..........

it always starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull and it will run on old jello looking nitro fuel with no problems... and last but not least i've never changed the glow plug in the 2 years of owning it...

i would have to say my Traxxas Ruslter... like stated b 4... they take a BEATING and never give up.... and i have had my ruslter REALLY HIGH... try 15 ft high off my roof flat landing on concrete.... it bottomed out REALLY HARD but then sprung back and kept on running...

dabid · 12-03-2005, 02:18 AM

BL Savage, the best of both worlds. Following closely behind would be my BL Ofna 9.5, then my Mamba-fied AE 18MT, and that's my reliable beater crew. I've got a BL I'm going to drop in my Twin Force though (Feigao 10L and Mtroniks Truck controller), which oughtta be fun.

RIPPER357 · 12-03-2005, 01:23 PM

I beat the heck out of my RC18MT. Cheap and easy to fix and it's very portable. It also doubles as a carpet racer in the winter.

Trike Kid · 12-03-2005, 01:47 PM

My Nitro RS4 MT, near stock but lots of fun, handled being 5-6 feet in the air to flat landing pretty well yesterday, with the exception of popping a tooth off the spur. Still runable, gotta fix the shock that keeps blowing apart now though. Getting an EP Evader BX Prebuilt for Christmas, its sitting in my living room right now, along with some parts/tools for crawlers. 22 days till it hits the dirt.

What set-up do you have in the Savage?

Xtremekrawler8 · 12-03-2005, 09:03 PM

Id say my best basher is a T-maxx with the Picco .21 medium block motor in it.
even though you NEED a UE diff kit or Integy AL.diff cases to keep it from torqing the destroying the ring and pinion gear. 2nd best basher is a slightly modded clod. As long as my ESC works it never breaks down.

Feigao 9L and Warrior 9920........for now. Plan to bump it to 9xl and 6s lipo with the help of Christmas money, the packs I'm looking at have 8000mah too, so it'd have like 45 minutes of runtime minimum. I figure that off a guy that ran 12 GP3300's on his 9xl and got 25 minutes, but lipo is lighter, and those packs have almost three times the capacity.

I know it sucks when you post a link to another thread to show off stuff, but these are the only pics I have of it, and there's a short vid. Just in case you can't find the E Savage, it's behind the chargers in the 4th pic: http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58182

newth · 12-04-2005, 04:02 AM

brushless e-maxx. nearly a much fun as my old t-maxx, but about 10% of the troubles. if u just wanna take a truck to run, it rules.

my favourite toy is my 11.1volt brushless mini-t. problem is it's to fast to handle & i never get through a battery b4 it's smashed up again. lol

Cool.

I'm working on a Savage conversion myself. Only going to run a 4S pack though. Motor is a Hacker C507XL.

My Associated MGT is stock excpt for the .32 engine and pro line power stroke shocks. i beat the thing, i have one of those plastic "x factor" ramps from wal-mart and made an extenstion from a street sign and man does that thing fly.
