Looking for a basher
Can anyone suggest a decent cheap basher truck. I bought a second hand Tamiya Wild Dagger a short time ago for this purpose, I was hoping with twin motors it would tick along a bit but unfortunately not, it's a bit pants actually . I would like something to take to the local BMX track that will get some impressive air, so parts availability need to be good, electric only as I have a no limits speed controller and a number of modified motors to use and I'm not into smelly nitro (for cars anyway). Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.
Thanks.

ahh, just come off the pocket and pick up an e-maxx and brushless set-up. I run it more than any other cars combined. Runs anywhere, good runtime, fast, doen't break too easy. Just a pricey initial investment, but for the use I have gotten out of it, it was worth it. I also have an old xxt brushless basher thats good fun too. I think a stampede would make a good basher too.

Get a T3. They are tough for sure. My kids have them and they have had some spectacular crashes and driven away. Parts easy to find (including upgrades). The T4 is a little better suspended, but easier to to break.

I think that one is definitely getting away from the "basher" theme of the thread.wyldbill wrote:check out the chassis and all the aluminum on this one lots of bling, and a bit pricey too;
