I hit a parking block wide open with my wifes slash just to see if it would break and it ramped it about 10 feet into the air and crash landed no problems
they are all pretty much durable anymore just depends on what you are going to do with it
race and bash sc-10 and some rpm parts
bash and think you might race blitz or losi they are both good I have them all so i speak from experience
outa the box they are all pretty good
