Toxic Basher Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Can't believe no one said Vorza, it's got to be a good contender for toughest rtr. The only two out of that list I havnt owned is the slash and 8, had everything else and the Vorza beats most of them hands down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 No shadow of a doubt. Hong Nor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3lyc Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You need to remove X2. The X2 CR never came as a RTR, only a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerrorTrooper Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 the toughest car ive owned out of the box has been the Traxxas E-Revo.. Followed by the E-Firestorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirusDviruS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Poll results say it all! Bashed the snot out of mine Saturday (+ some pretty poor driving!), damage? 2x spoiler screws fell out because I didn't thread lock them I wish my childhood Tamiya days(late 80's early 90's) were this frustration free!

Toxic Basher Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I must be an incredible tough basher lol I destroyed a hyper 7 and 2 hong nors in less than one pack, lol both hong nors were supposedly bullet proof ha ha As for the revo lol same as the emaxx, it's chassis will snap. It looks great but Traxxas do not make tough rtr cars, I'd remove all Traxxas from the list. The Vorza is the clear winner for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say on my Hyper from standard ive broke: Suspension shafts and e-clips (Snapped the shafts and bent the clips) Wing mount (Bent and twisted) Rear shock tower (Bent all different ways lol) Wing stay holder (Split the plastic where the bolt goes through for the wing mount and bent the bolt) Rear gear box case (broke the top bits off where the wing mount screws into it) I think thats it atm must say I have been bashing it hard though.

J.K Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Been bashing my firestorm for over two years now and all I've needed to replace are clutch springs! Solid piece of kit, maybe there aren't many hop ups for it cos you don't actually need them?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hong nor x1cr I destroyed the front end completely lol. Bust the diff housing, chassis brace, front shock tower and a few other bits of a hard front end landing, my Vorza took several of the same landings and broke nothing. My other hong nor is in the sale section somewhere, snapped an a arm, bent a cvd and snapped the side guard first go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Am I correct in assuming that the Mad Bull kit uses the same components as the RTR version??? Have been considering putting it on the short-list of choices for my next RC. Tis currently a very short list of one, namely the Plazma Edge/Gravel Hound. 4x4 would seem like a natural progression from my Holiday Buggy but the Mad Bull looks fun.

rctruckz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 OK MLST2 spec Raminator!! It is tough - but too slow to really break anyway! LOL! Don't like it any less than the others. Al.

rctruckz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 hmm no LST/LST2/XXL in the list ^^ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 not on the list but i can guarantee you the toughest rtr available is the axial scx10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruckz Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 there should be 2 polls imo! 1 for crawlers & 1 for bashing & racing etc Cant really compare a basher to a crawler in terms of strength simply because an RC used for bashing & racing takes alot more impact/abuse than a crawler. If i had an LST & used it purely for slow speed crawling chances of breaking anything would be very slim & vice versa, if i used an axial scx10 & wound it up then started doing 10-20ft jumps & backflips going 30-40mph+, chances are it wouldn't last too long! like i say, 2 completely different types of models with different applications!

DreXeL Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I love my SCX10, but I don't think for a minute it would take the sort of abuse a Hyper 7 does if you stuck a brushless setup in it. I broke a Y-link on mine by simply rolling a few feet down a hill. I don't think it would take this kind of abuse and come back begging for more: SCX10s are great, and they are very tough for what they are, but no way would one take the kind of extreme bashing a Hyper or Hong Nor can lap up.

Ive seen hypers/LST's & my mates savage in action doing rediculously big air & hard bashing & coming out the other end unscaved though. tried looking on utube for any vids of one doing hard bashing with big air but no joy. & this..

To me toughest is down to how well it holds up landing off big air, bad crashes & hardcore bashing so to speak ^^ etc Edited January 1, 2013 by rctruckz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Innuendos aside, I know how to settle the issue. Give me an example of each RC in the list and the one that's still unbroken after a month is the toughest. Am willing to give my time for free.
