What to build with $1500?

Yeah I agree........

But 50 is alot of speed, you gear for 40 and have less heat, more runtime and all... Which to me makes better sense......

I know that you want brushless, but my next basher is going to be the baja 5b ss kit. I know it is not electric, but I have had great success with my gas powered boats, and the baja is very impressive in person! Take a look at it on hpi's website, it looks badass!

1500 is a fair bit of money, i try to keep between 500 to 800 for my builds, and with some careful shopping you can find some great deals. For heavy bashing, something like a savage or lst2 would probably be best. They do get heavy though.

I have the firehammer and the firehammer M/T... I like the M/T.. same as the FG Marder.... but the Baja 5B is much nicer than the firehammer.... A bunch of guys in London here run the bajas... they go pretty fast with a 30.5 CC Engine... Uber fast...
BL_Revo... for a bash truck, it will be heavy... I think the XT8 is more of a racer... but that is a nice truck for sure... all of my bash trucks are about 15-18Lbs... my Firehammer M/T is 22Lbs...
