My favorite Revenge.

My son is a huge RC car nut....  we happen to have an ECX Revenge type E 1/8 scale buggy.  It is just about as much fun as you can have with an RC car  :-)   We took it bashing at the local BMX track today and here are a few of the shots of him trying to (and eventually succeed in his attempts to)break it.  He hit a Chain link fence at top speed on a 3 cell Lipo with a front wheel....  New control arms are on order now :-)

Are those the original wheels on your buggy or did you add those spoked wheels yourself? They look cool.

Those are the wheels from an HPI 1/8 scale I found on Ebay. I thought they were cool looking and were cheap with new tires already mounted.... done and done.

I am thinking into getting either the revenge or the Brushless 4x4 slash, is the revenge good for bashing on better suited for racing?

I really think it is a far better basher than racer. Its a bit heavy and the center of gravity is just a touch off for track perfect runs. We beat the ever loving crap out of ours :-) Consider the CVD changeout... we break drive cups all the time.
