It kinda depends on what the primary use is (and will be). For track, a buggy. They simply handle the best, are durable as hell, proven design, and 4WD is really nice.

For general bashing, I'd have to say the Pede as well. I technically don't have one as it is my son's, but I like taking his out and running around with it. Small, light, parts availability is good, tons of upgrades available for it, and seems to take a beating quite well. Even mostly stock (older one upgraded to a XL-5 and 12T Titan) on 6 cells it is fun. 7 cells is better. For pure speed, upgrading to BL is the way to go.
