I would go with a monster truck since you want to bash. They would give you more ground clearance and can be just as fast with the right motor.

For bashing, go with the monster. If you plan on jumping a maxx, plan on getting RPM parts for it. The Muggy and LST2 seem to hold up pretty good for heavy bashing. Tmaxx or Revo? Go with the Revo for the suspension and handling.

Neither.

If you want to race, get a buggy.

If you want to bash, get a MT. A Savage at that.

Buy a MUGEN MBX5T!!! I just sold mine (getting out of rc), but I had a tmaxx and a revo, and the truggy will out bash, out race, out jump pretty much any mt. Race a buggy against a truggy it is a drivers race, unless the track is super smooth (favors the buggy), or super rough (favors the truggy). A truggy will out bash any mt.

For bashing, I would go with a monster truck. The 2 speed and the ground clearance makes running these things worth while. My personal choice would be the MGT 8.0 . Fast as all h-ll . They can jump and race all day without breaking. All steel gears. Very easy to work on.
Savages are pretty good. They are great jumpers.
As for the HPI Hellfire... No..
