What to get?

[Tomegun]

I want to get a ST to bash/play around with. I have Lipo and brushless for my wings so that is the way I want to go. Can you tell me what you think I should get? I've thought about a RCT4, Losi-xxx MF2 and a RC18T.
I know me and I will upgrade some parts so I'm not going to even think about a RTR. The only track around here isn't really around here (40 minutes) so I don't think I will race. Can you give me a little advice?

Oh, I need to know what motor/esc too of course!

stadium trucks are pretty universal in terms of offroad/onroad/bashing. For bashing the novak ss5800 is a good choice. Fairly reliable, good customer service, and descent performance. I have an associated T3 and like it, but it is rather outdated. You can't really go wrong with assoicated or losi.

i have a rc10t4 and novak 5800 setup the t4 is pretty much bullet proof and the performance of the brushless motor is great

Do most people get 1/10th over 1/18th for bashing?

[60mphtc4]

usually people use 1/10 for racing and 1/18 for bashing i like 1/10 better for bashing

1/18th just doesn't have the off-road capabilites nor the average bashing capabilites of a 1/10 th. I run a brushless xxx-t and I love it. The xxx-4 is also nice and really fast. I can run a 15turn in the buggy and keep up with a 13 or 14 turn truck.
