Both cars are great bashers.
back flips / front flips....
and if setup right they'll even pop wheelies.
lol.

Vinny, without sounding awful i think you should of stayed with the lazer, it really is right up there for beginners, its strong and very easy to drive (allegedly) i think the 2 cars you have said above are full blown racers and probably not the strongest out there, this may lead to you getting really frustrated.

You really want to "bash" a 350+ quid car?!?!?!?!?!?!

Wouldn't you be better off buying something else to trash? It would seem a bit of a shame to take a piece of kit meant for racing and then drive it around pointlessly? Look at something without the hefty price tag for tearing up the park like a Durga or so which would be a nice racer too...

In other words please don't take a car that has had very carefull developement to make it as fast as possible around a track and waste it bombing it around busting it...

Vinny, i really dont think these 2 cars are right for a beginner, they will be fantastic in the right hands but as i said before they probably wont be the strongest cars, i hear the tamiya is a very strong car and they seem to work ok, and they look bling straight out of the box

Used to run a Traxxas TRX3, I'm pretty certain it would survive nuclear holocaust in one piece, never broke a single thing in 2 years of racing it!! If traxxas ares till like that its a good choice.

I have an Aero coming, but at that price I'm planning to use it sparingly and sorrounded by padding

these cars aren't made for bashing and probably wont take the rigours of being 'bashed' dude, beginner or not.

And chill dude.

Hot Bodies D4 is right up there in a reliability department, I've raced mine for about 4 months and only broken a wishbone and caster block, both very harsh accidents.

Spares are a good price, and the car is a dream to drive. This season will see a big backing of the D4 with alot of drivers using it and Mirage expanding their team will be a great resource for the upcoming season.
