Once nitro/electric race cars and bashers used 90% of the same parts hobby shops could actually afford to carry the parts for your vehicle.
I don't disagree that electric 1/8 is cool.
However if a person is looking for a vehicle that is track and bash worthy, then they should not be looking at a 1/10 4wd to begin with. There are plenty of other choices out there that meet this need...including the e-1/8, slash, slayer, e-revo, e-maxx, rustler, t4, the list goes on and on.
But to address the need for a tougher 1/10 4wd I still say that they are plenty durable when driven like they were intended.
The only truely fragile buggy is the xxx-4. AE, Kyosho, Academy, Tamiya, etc...all make some pretty tough 1/10
