recommendation bashing truck
i recently own stampede 4x4 running on 2s 40c, it get hot kinda quick. now i'm looking to get another MT mainly for bashing, must be tough, i don't to replace parts after every session. my stampede was weak on the clutch, slips a lot.arm knuckles break often. so now i'm looking for something that is tough, and no i will not be jumping off house or anything like that. i'm thinking of savage flux as of right now. is there anything out there other than savage flux? i've heard a lot about this truck

Have you thought about converting an 1/8th scale buggy or Truggy into something you like? You can pick up a used , but in really good shape roller , convert it into a MT or a SCT.....and have a dang near bullet proof drive train that is considered the toughest in the hobby. You would have to probably invest thousands of $$$ to get something like a T-maxx or savage any where as near as tough as an 1/8th scale. And.....the rollers are cheap! Just an option for you.

Look hard at the MT4- there's a huge thread on URC which is what sold me. Tough, fun, good-handling. It's basically a roided out truggy with giant wheels. Check YouTube for various "Watch me beat the crap outta this truck!" videos, and check the review on BigSquid as well.
It needs almost nothing out of the box. Have some spare hinge pins on hand, and expect to replace the servo quickly.

Mt4 is a China brand I'm trying to stay away. I've look at losi 2.0 buggy. Not a big fan of buggy yet. As far as savage flux cab it handle well if its on good set of wheels? Reason why I keep asking about this truck is bc I've been hearing a lot of good things. Also a, well known brand parts are available at lhs. Please only what type model freight it out there.

I used to have a savage flux hp. Thing is insanely fast right outta the box. Motor and esc are very good as they are rebranded mamba monster 2200. Only problems are it's not the easiest thing to work on (tvp chassis), phillips head screws, and the slipper needs to be locked nearly all the way down. I can't imagine how stupidly fast the savage is on 6s, even with 4s it was insanely powerful.Other than that, it's a super fast durable truck and tons of fun. Stock radio is trash, but if you already have another radio, that's not a problem. Thunder tiger makes great vehicles too and i've heard the mt4 g3 is the most durable truck out there. I haven't run a thunder tiger, but i like the easy to work on 8th scale buggy layout. Either of those trucks is a good choice. Oh and almost everything in rc is made in china, so don't worry about that.
