I would stand by the Slash 2x4 as the most durable truck made. I don't own one, but my wife does. She isn't so good with rc, but she loves to beat the crud out of anything at the other end of the remote. She did manage to break it now and then, the funniest was when she broke the chassis, something I thought could not be done. 20-30 foot drop of the side of a cliff, tumbled for what seemed like days. Can't go wrong with one of these and a waterproof brushless set up.
I also had the mini. Once built up they take one hell of a beating. A had a cartwheel going for what seemed like two blocks at one time and not a thing on it broke.
By far my fave was the 1/10 E-Revo, that thing took it all. 30 foot jumps, nose dives, skate parks, you name it. Never had a problem with the chassis.
The Slash 4x4 takes some to get it fun, can't really use 3s with the stock set-up. At least I couldn't with out heat problems. But it is pretty durable, besides the stub axles. For some unknown reason they thought to put a plastic bushing in a high friction area, which quickly needs replacement.
Then again my latest favorite basher is a converted duratrax raze buggy. Takes all the crap I throw at it and hasn't broke yet. Seized a bearing in the motor at the dunes once, but that was about it.
