I agree these are very different RCs however the Kraton is a stand up great out of the box basher. For the price it can't be beat, this is coming from a guy who owns a E-Revo 2.0, Kraton, Mugen MBX7TR ECO, and a Tekno ET48.3. Is the Tekno built better yes, but people don't factor in when giving this option the kit alone is over $100 more than the kraton. Than you need wheels, radio, esc/motor, and servo as a basic. Along with painting the body, after it is done and said in my Tekno ET48.3 with everything it needs and some upgrades I could have bought easily bought 2 almost 3 Kratons. The E-Revo is a good choice also but for me the I think the Kraton handles better and ramps easier. Both are brutes that can take a beating and bash well.

For the choices you have given I would hands down go Kraton or Outcast/Notorious, def check out the outcast for a bashing/stunt truck it is awesome.
