It is your duty as a good son to at least give it a good test drive for your father.

It is a good idea but he doesn't want!!!!

Dude, those things are made for bashing (and surviving it)!

A small example... No comment

Traxxas tough for sure! Fun factor 100% and mechanical empathy 0% = smoking finish.
I understand your father's ban on you and his Slash.

I haven't so nice trees near home
No danger I don't know why he doesn't want that I test his slash. Slash Splash it is the same word no?

depends on your definition of bashing.

under 16 drive it straight into a tree.
16 and over drive it around the tree

That video and Zephyrin's HSP thread is making me want something to bash with impunity.
Something very tough and very cheap....

Don't buy a slash if you want a cheap runner... This one was a good "occasion" but nib it is +ot- 700€
It is why I haven't my perso slash.

hsp parts are quite strong, the electric versions come with a plastic chassis, there are carbon and aluminium chassis, alu is plenty strong, my one just bends if the crash is big enough, then you bend it back

my car is getting worn out, so i was thinking of getting a new car and putting all of my good parts from my jeep into it: shocks, brushless combo, transmitter/receiver what do you rc nerds think of this idea?

car i was thinking of getting, its only brushed so shove in a hobbyking brushless setup, crazy fast and cheap
i really like the cage design, its also a full cace not only in the open spots for look, so for bashing it would probably withstand more rollovers than the lexand/polycarbonate shell like the truck below

a different car i was thinking of getting, i have the same tires as the ones on this and they are amazing, heaps of grip and they last long

chassis upgrade, you need this if you want it to last long, if you keep it brushed i don't think you need it but going brushless you need to get it

comes with bearings, the stock hubs habe brass bushings, everything else is ball bearings only the arms are brass

this setup would be about $250-$300 for a car made for bashing, hsp is generic so there are a bunch of companies that make the same chassis cars: hsp, exceed rc, redcat
