are you talking about racing or bashing? for racing hot bodies has a couple trucks less expensive than the hellfire and can run with it tamiya tnx is a good 1. for bashing id go a tmax,savage x or monster gt but parts avalibility is important to so keep that in mind also.

That is such an open question. There are SO many variables to consider that you will probably get replies with 50 different answers.
Like apples and oranges. All are good... but different tastes for different people.

So the questions everyone usually asks before commenting on which vehicle is better are these.

Do you have any RC Experience??? If you don't and you are considering one of these high end Nitro vehicles.... do you have any exprerience with gas powered 2 stroke vehicles? Dirt bikes? Things like that? or Weed wackers?

Nitro RC vehicles can be finicky and hard to start if you do not have much mechanical experience.

Next question--- Are you going to race or just run for fun??? That makes a big difference on what someone will recommend.

If you are running for fun... Do you have a LOT of room to run? You would need it for any of the vehicles you mentioned. They are capable of great speeds and need a lot of room to run.
Especially the HPI Baha.

Then people might ask what kind of budget you have??? Not to get personal.. but they would recommend something in your price range if you really want their opinion.

They might also ask what your local hobby shop supports as far as spare parts on their shelves and recommend vehicles base on easy parts availability and help from experienced racers and hobbiest in your area.

All of the vehicles you mentioned are high quality and you would not be dissapointed with any of them if you are using them for what they designed to do.
