I am hoping that people who like to bash and own good ones will say they like theirs and why. I owned easily over a dozen different RC vehicles and some were twins so my Son and I could bash together. My favorite was a Clod Buster with a full aluminum suspension upgrade. The suspension looked a lot like modern crawlers.

I used to buy a T-Maxx every week. Yes, I would buy a complete RTR T-Maxx every week, strip it down to around 8 assemblies then sell them on ebay. I probably sold several hundred T-Maxx's and some E-Maxx's for parts. I also used to work in a hobby shop. Now, I have no idea which of numerous brands out there are decent for bashing and which are no good. I am hoping some friendly RC folks could offer their recommendations.
