yup, it will be good for bashing. thats normally what i use mine for, pretty tuff trucks if you ask me. the only thing i dont like about it is the a-arms and the steering components. the steering things wear out quickly if you bash A LOT. the a-arms are practically useless, they break soooo fast. i replaced mine with rpm a-arms and they have lasted me 8 months of constant bashing. also, i recomend not to buy any more traxxas jato tires for it. they wear out very quick.
