So after buying a Gen8 v2 as my come back truck to get back into RC's I then bought an Axe edition as well. Now I want a truck for general bashing and I have been looking at ARRMA, Redcat, and the AE Rival MT10. I am more interested in MT or ST and they will see a lot of grass/dirt. As for local HS support, there are no HS where I live and since I am on the road all year long I do everything via online shopping. What do you guys bash and what parts would you recommend picking up when I buy one.

I forgot about Tekno, I don't mind putting a kit together.

I'm a big fan of the Arrma Kraton 6s... so much so that I have 3 now! Mine are all the EXB versions so I bought my own electronics and did some preventative stuff before running them and they've been solid... except the wing mounts, all of them are RPM mounts now so at least they bend instead of break. Traxxas Xmaxx is super durable with excellent parts availability too, it was just too big for what I wanted. Every brand has its warts, but in my research/experience those 2 were the standouts for durability AND parts support. The Tekno mt410 is a solid truck too, I just didn't like the short wheelbase (more like an Arrma Outcast, or even a Traxxas Maxx) and parts support isn't as strong as others.

If your gonna actually bash it, go Traxxas. Parts support can not be beat.

I have the ARRMA Tallion and Mojave both are a blast to drive and very tough I like the Mojave the best between that and the Losi LMT they are by far my favorite bashers.

I have mojave, kraton, son uva digger, x maxx. Used the kraton to wear in a good size track in the back yard so I think its had the most use with minimal breakage but hubs and bearings became worn and sloppy..mojave broke at a arm due to tree interference..the digger has not had a problem other than torsion bar coming loose due to small assembly hands and no loctite. None of my rc get abused like you see on YouTube though..this hobby is expensive due to its extreme ability to be addictive

RTR's need an upgraded servo. X Maxx is effing huge..have not upgraded servo yet, but it has taken some pretty good tumble wumbles like a champ. Upper and lower arms would be good parts to have for spares

I have a tekno sct410.3 I pound the absolute tar out of. Had to make my own lexan spur gear cover because I run it alot at sand pits, and muddy bike tracks, but otherwise it's been bombproof and handles extremely well. The build was super enjoyable with precise fitment and all sorts of fancy racecar engineering to be found.
I bet the Mt version is even better for gnarcor bashing.
