Of the three trucks you listed, for bashing and racing the LST2 is the one to go with. But in this world, you cant mix and match, you either want a basher or a racer. You wanna race, get a truggy, you wanna bash get a savage, nothing wrong with the LST2 for bashing i just dont believe it is as good a basher as the savage. Plus who wants to go bashing with a $700 rig? But if you insist on it being one of those 3 trucks the LST2 will do double duty, but dont expect to be competitive at the track with out spending allot of $$$$ on and already as expensive as hell truck. And once you do all the mods you wont even consider bashing it.
