your best bet is to get a traxxas summit. its 4wd you can lock the diffs independent from each other and i believe its a 2spd

+1 on summit, unless you plan to hit the local tracks as well for some speed laps. then I would say a slash.
we had a slash we waterproofed that could handle anything... snow, rain, mud etc. I miss that truck.... sniff sniff

Just for bashing and muddin'? They are both solid machines out of the box. I would save your coin and get another pack or two.
