Default What do YOU prefer for bashing?

Would you rather bash a nitro buggy or a nitro monster truck? i heard buggys are like missiles in the air and they are tough as nails. monster trucks could do backflips and such, but have a bit more tendancy to break. plus the wheelies . opinions?

Not much of a basher, prefer the track BUT, when I did own both classes for racing, if I wanted to play in the yard during the week or something, I always went straight for the buggy.

I would say the question is terrain dependent, I live in coal country (Pennsylvania) if you took a buggy to a bash spot here the MT would own it. I hate to sound like a broken record but you are comparing apples to oranges.......

It also depends on what you consider bashing. Some consider driving but just not racing bashing, others consider jumping houses bashing. It also depends on what you do with it, obviously a buggy isnt the best choice for going over rocks.

Same goes for me. A buggy would have to be set as high as it would go and it still wouldn't have enough clearance for what I need to bash.

To me monster trucks are fun to bash. You can go over lots more stuff than buggies.

I don't do much bashing, mostly racing 1/8th buggies. However if I were to just go bashing I would get a truck.

Because Stadium Trucks are 2wd, FOC, and.... Made for "stadiums", plus lower clearance

They can bash, but not ideal in the least bit

I went with buggies, although for bashing a truggy suffices all my needs. Speed and handing of a buggy with the size and (well, almost) clearance of a monster

theres a big dirt bmx park here with jumps as high as me. its almost like a race track. and occasionaly i would run on grass in the park. if i were to bash with a buggy, would i have any luck doing backflips w/o the wing. this is a hard ch oice for me, since the two cars i would choose from is either the Sportwerks Turmoil RTR w/ DX2, or an LST2 with an XR3i. opinions? id like something thats almost bulletproof.

and the reason why i didnt put an ST in there is because i already have a mini-t, and 2wd is not that fun, only if you do speed runs down the street goin 50. plus they break alot in my case.[:'(]
