For a basher, I'd be more tempted to go for something a HongNor X1X-CR, then if you want to spend the extra cash, get some juicy hop-ups like the shock towers and bits to strengthen up other important areas from King Headz http://www.kingheads...a195e2985cc6569
The Hong Nor comes out of the box pretty tough and fast, with some good hardware on there- the engine is powerful and reliable, great set of shocks and the drivetrain is well proven. The Losi and Hobao are more recent designs and would have the edge around a track, but the Losi's tend to need more maintenance than other cars and IMO aren't that durable/strong, the Hobao I have to admit is abit of an unknown commodity since it's been re-released as the B version though...
