You must drive hard then!

My opinion on this matter should be obvious. :party:

Yeah totally, worst looking crashes aren't from jumps for me, but I've gone into cartwheels on concrete at 45mph+ just bouncing down the road, sometimes it bounces up like 5-10ft in the air in mid cartwheel, and it just lands and it passes the damage inspection with flying colours. Once I did notice a broke part on the rear skid, but I have a titanium one now that seems to hold up pretty well.

Losi is so much more durable out of the box, but 1 truck id never get rid of is my emaxx $2000 in upgrades later its reliable as can be lol

lind5 09.12.2008 03:30 PM

LOSI all the way cos i can beat the crap out of it and it just keeps going
and then maybe traxxas
but that only cos i dont like hpi

IMHO I think the REVO; be it 3.3, 2.5, or E are damn near bullet proof!

I agree...

jayjay283 09.28.2008 05:50 AM

I agree, that while the above mentioned in the last 3 posts make the finest parts for monster trucks, they dont manufacture monster trucks. So you all get Fs for not sticking to the assignment and generally retarded comprehension skills. < STAMP>

TDC57 09.29.2008 07:37 PM

LOL.LOL.LOL.. I hate to admit it but your RIGHT!!! :oops:

Ok then I would change my answer to X-Ray..:yipi: But they make Truggies and buggies so I'm not sure if that even fits within the given assignment (?)..:neutral:

traxxas by far... they really have the mt's to a science

mambarustler 10.04.2008 09:17 PM

Traxxas all day everyday. E-Revo is very durable and suspension is awesome

Unsullied_Spy 10.05.2008 12:52 AM

I've put quite a bit of use on my Losi Muggy now, and comparing it against Traxxas I would still take the Losi any day. I would love to see a Revo suspension on a Muggy though--I've broken 2 pairs of stock control arms, sheared the camber rod out of a RPM arm, and broken a stock front spindle on the Muggy. The T-Maxx is out-dated and has a lot of issues and should be discontinued, but the Revo mostly just needs a tougher drivetrain. If Traxxas put in diffs of comparable design and quality of 1/8th scale diffs with 8mm axles, and CVAs the Revo would be much better than it is.

Approximately one hour on my E-Revo and I busted up all kinds of parts, but after ~6 hours total on my Muggy I'm really glad I sold almost all my Traxxas RCs. The control arms broke on bad landings at a BMX track (I jumped it pretty hard and it took it until the bad landings broke control arms) and the spindle broke after ramming into a concrete island in a parking lot. I give Losi a 9/10 overall for it, if it came with aluminum spindles and blocks stock and tougher control arms it would be a definite 10/10. Revo/E-Revo I give 7/10 for inferior drivetrain construction.

mambarustler 10.05.2008 10:45 AM

yup the rods are crap, but if you bash the stock steel ones are best because you can bend them back, and if you race the red ones, They snap instead of bending

Sammus 10.05.2008 09:48 PM

I can't imagine treating my revo ny worse and I haven't bent or snapped any of mine. I upgraded to tubes cuz they look cool :P

I dunno what you guys do to your trucks...

BrianG 10.05.2008 11:12 PM

Breaking the Revo pushrods is most likely caused by direct impact, or more likely, the suspension bottoms out too easy. Once the springs reach the end of their travel, the force has to go somewhere, and bends/snaps the rods. Stiffer springs (and thicker oil) helps a lot.

Sammus 10.05.2008 11:13 PM

I guess I do have my suspension tuned to suit my style of driving...

mambarustler 10.06.2008 12:21 PM

well i never actually bent the steel one but i let someone drive it and they crashed into the tire of a car. and i snapped one of my tubes when my brother got in the was and i couldn't see. but it was in where the tube connects to the rod end so i crazy glued it. and put it on one of the back suspension and its holding up great

SWATsn1per 10.06.2008 08:25 PM

TRAXXAS all the way. Also they have the best customer support.

emaxxnitro 10.06.2008 10:44 PM

the revo is the most durable mt i have ever seen

rc!!! 10.07.2008 01:08 AM

mikey09120 10.07.2008 09:20 PM

traxxas!:yes:

lincpimp 10.07.2008 10:04 PM

Redcat rules...

BTallack 10.11.2008 06:45 PM

Were I a nitro guy, I'd say HPI because I love the durability of the Savage. The E-Savage however just isn't quite the same.

I am however an Electric guy, and I love my E-Revo, so I'll definitely say Traxxas.
