I would say stick with a Traxxas vehicle. I would go with a slash, rustler or stampede. All very durable for bashing.

Either of the two are great bashers and both have tons of hop up parts available for them. If your looking at doing mostly street running I'd go with the VXL rustler. It's a beast on 3S packs and will still do very strong runs even on 2S packs.

The wider stance of the Rustler will work better on the street. The slash is fine but has a tendency to roll over really easy on high bite surfaces due to the way it was designed to drive like it's 1:1 counter part. Lots of body roll with the Slash. It's fun on the dirt but not so great on the street.

Here this may interest you: http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=194 If you want it to fly look at the 3S 11.1 volt 5250 pack. These are the same packs that the Traxxas RND team uses to test and to get to that 70 MPH mark.

Any questions just ask either here, E-mail at [email protected] or at our on-line live support chat at www.maxamps.com
