i dont really know much about nitro cars but i think that i want to get one. i have a elecrtic car but i want something that goes a little bit faster. i was thinkin of a team associated rc10gt, traxxis nitro sport se, or a hpi mt 18ss. i dont know much about these cars but i want somthing the is strong enough so if i crash it it will still run. which one of these cars is the strongest? i dont really care about speed. could i get any of the cars above for 350 or less? thanks in advance.

I only have experience with the MT and the traxxas Nitro Sport..Dont get the Nitro Sport..It is weak and doesnt hold up at all to any kind of abuse.The Traxxas Nitro Rustler is a good car, but needs alot of upgrades to make is strong enough to handle the abuse these cars normally take...IMO the MT 18SS isnt worth the money..its just a kit and you have to buy servos and radio..for the money you could buy an MT-2 and upgrade all the stuff and have a better car for less..My friend has an MT-2 and is the strongest built stadium truck I have ever seen..It has taken a beating and has yet to break anything on it..he did strip the rear differential (they are weak) but cheap to fix. I dont know about the others, but for the $$ the MT-2 is a great deal..

My GT fell apart left and right. As far as durability goes though, there really isn't anything that will outlast a Traxxas, but they aren't up to par for competition.

traxxis are the most reliable and can withstand a huge beating

they outlast team associated stuff.... but they aint got $h!T on HPI..... like the savage 25 vs tmaxx 2.5............. savage 25 blows it away.. and will last longer
