Want general basher recommendations i had a shitty helion dominus and now have an arrma raider that i like, but it just cant go off road as well as the truggy did even tho the helion would break every 5 minutes. im looking for something NOT a SC that i can take out back and just run/jump and generally raise hell. the only thing im looking at right now is an ECX Ruckus but thats really all i know to consider. if you have a good car thats great fun doing stupid stuff, let me know!!! |
If you're looking for just a basher id suggest a slash or rustler. RAZR Maxx Tapatalk'd |
Re: Want general basher recommendations Find a cheap Rustler off CL and throw another $100 at it (motor/ecs) I have $200 total into mine and it can take a licking and its fast as f. "thumbsup" |
Re: Want general basher recommendations nice. yeah, the ECX thing is out, went by the LHS and saw one in person....wow. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations Since SC trucks have large bodies and large effective bumpers they tend to have better durability than their stadium truck siblings. While the low ground clearance 2wd's aren't true off road machines, that doesn't keep my Blitz from tearing up motocross tracks and sand pits, and it'll zip across decently mowed grass. A Blitz will take more abuse than any other RC out of the box IMO. Drives pretty darn well with the stock setup as well. If your put off at almost toy quality trucks, then skip the Traxxas offerings unless you can afford a Revo. |
My mini revo vxl has taken a better beating than all my other RCs combined. A great basher and stupid fast. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations I use a 4x4 slash as the daily basher. Its been rebuilt with mip/rpm parts it likes the launching ramp snow banks this time of year. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations I have a blitz with 10t on 2's. Only thing I have broken is a 6 dollar part( after takin a head on with a slash on ripsaws at full speed) But if you don't wanna go SC an Exo is an awesome basher. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations slash 4x4 with the vxl 3s brushless setup is definitely a greAT WAY TO GO. LOTS OF SPEED AND RELATIVELY RELIABLE. LOCAL HOBBY STORES TYPICALLY STOCK MOST COMMONLY BROKEN PARTS FOR THEM AS WELL. I HAVE ALSO BASHED AN EMAXX 3905 FOR MANY YEARS. IT TAKES A SERIOUS BEATING!!!!!! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SEARCH FOR A NEW BASHER DONT FORGET THE KEY ELEMENT...HAVE FUN |
Re: Want general basher recommendations stop yelling at me :.( |

haha im terrible at typing and have to watch the keyboard. when i realized i had hit caps lock i was alread done with the entire post and didnt want to retype it all. good luck with your search for a basher! |
Re: Want general basher recommendations get a savage. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations The axial exo terra is a great basher. Drop in a 2.2 3s and its a blast for back yard bashing. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations i got a wraith and now im kinda happy. my concern of the exo is the ride height. i have a arrma raider right now and its LOW and kinda useless for my driving style. i hear scuttlebutt about an axial that is similar to the twin hammers that im kinda waiting to see if its true or not before i make a move toward that |
Re: Want general basher recommendations I picked up a Arrma Granite last week and the thing is a blast! My daughter has run it into a ton of hard objects and no breaks yet. Big Squid RC did a good review of it. ARRMA Granite Review « Big Squid RC |
Re: Want general basher recommendations Stampede. I would go with a vxl but maybe in 2wd to keep the cost down. |
Re: Want general basher recommendations 1 Attachment(s) Traxxas = Bash. I went through a few bashing trucks before I finally gave in and picked up a used Slash 4x4 with some upgrades. I put a cheap used VXL in it and 2.2 RPM wide offset crawler wheels with 2.2 Pitbull XOR's... I frickin love it! |
Re: Want general basher recommendations Another vote for the the slash. Ive got two of em and they're both awesome! My favorite is my SSC LCG slash with MIP shafts and PROLINE PROTRAC A-arms on 3s:twisted: It literally peels the tires from the rims:lmao: http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...9Ranger009.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...7/FF8A4835.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/...07/photo77.jpg |
Re: Want general basher recommendations slash 4x4. neat little rig, easy to work on, pretty dang tough, cheap as hell. "thumbsup" |
Re: Want general basher recommendations Quote:
as i said, the wraith is satisfying for now, if i could quit stripping servo arms.... i have an interest in the proline rat rod body for the erevo, but its 1/16th and little/non basher |
