Ok this is simple what is the best back yardbashing(big jumps) nitro staium truck. it it will be used for a tiny tiny bit of racing but all the time for backyard bashing. It needs to survive majer jumps and crashes. I have been looking at hpi and traxxas

ASSOCIATED RC10GT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cant beat it for the price

I just got a used .15 rustler off ebay. I took some nice curb/gutter jumps on my street and it well cleared the grass sidwalk and 4 more feet landing smooth. I also made it flip like that taking it at a wrong angle but man these things are fun. It took a preety hard hit like if you take a cd and throw it in the air to make it flop like crazy then hit the floor. Nothing broken yet. This was in the grass....... street is a diff story. But they come pretty strong and suspension is adjustable not the shocks but im going to upgrade them soon.

ad1 or ad2.i have pics of me jumping 30 feet in the air with mine and not a single part broke.you can also race if you decide to go as with the rustler it wont stand a chance agianst the losi or associated trucks.

an rc10 gt is great for racing but all race trucks are a little fragile for bashing.
i would get a jato. 2 speed, rtr and with a great motor.
