You may want to consider a 'monster truck' and pose your question in that forum. Most truggies are built more for racing instead of bashing...but they are capable of either and it's your money and your truck. As for RTR the OFNA Hyper ST RTR isn't too bad but if you can wait a month or two then get something really pretty interesting, the Team Associated SC8. The Revo is a tired and true basher that you can run the hell out of and later drop a big block in it and have even more fun.
