Alright so I bought a used OFNA MBX R2 a couple years ago and I love running it but hate breaking it. [:@] Its the only real RC I have had so it seems really fast to me (.21) and so wrecks happen, and usually cost ~$50 in replacement parts [&o]

A buddy of mine wants to trade me some tools I need for the car and I am thinking of getting out from under it .... but I have no idea what I would want to get to replace it.

Open to most anything buggy, truck, truggy, monster, what ever is maximum fun [8D]

My idea of fun -

Same or faster than my R2
Likes to jump
4x4
nitro
AS INDESTRUCTABLE AS POSSIBLE
Cheap is good ..... if I need to build something to save cash thats fine ... plus I read that RTR engines aren't the best (I don't plan to race or anything, just want it to last)

Suggestions needed, pics help... thanks

indestructable? savage is pretty close to it. they are pretty rapid (straight line not cornering though) jump really well. is 4 x 4, nitro. its not the cheapest but it is well worth it and the stock engine isn't too shabby. plus there are tons of hop-ups available. there is the ss kit but im not sure if they still sell it (can some one clarify).

there are other mt's like revo's, lst's and the t-maxx(getting old though) that are all really good. my lst is a beast.

Hmmm.... I really like the looks of the HPI Hell Fire



But, kinda high .... any input on the durability of a Hell Fire vs a Savage tmaxx etc ???

Have you thought about Team Losi [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0018]MUGGY[/link] or the Traxxas Revo [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdId=TRA5309]3.3[/link]/[link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=TRA5310]2.5[/link]

I WAS DECIDING BETWEEN THE HELLFIRE AND THE T-MAXX A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I WENT WITH THE T-MAXX FOR A FEW REASONS. 1.-TRAXXAS HAS A GREAT REPUTATION.2.- TRAXXAS'S ENGINE REPLACEMENT PLAN. 3.- DURABILITY AND MORE.

Is the tmaxx the cheapest choice so far?

yes I think so. The HPI Savage X SS is a great truck and is very tough. Take a look around some websites of the car's that you are choosing.
