Isn't HPI one of the most durable? It's cheap enough....and it's buggy...although I'd love to get 1/5 scale 4wd buggy.
The HPI Trophy series is based on the old Hot Bodies Lightning Stadum series. This platform is old, but plenty durable with some well known upgrades. However thats like the maxx, can be made great but with upgrades only. The Trophy would require less upgrades. The HPI Trophy Truggy Flux is essentially a 1st generation Truggy, or as they used to be called "Unlimited Monster Trucks".

I had a Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium Pro-R. This was the best of the best, and durable as all get out. I once headbutted a 2x4" at nearly 40mph, The 2x4 lost.

This is true, 1/8th scale has evolved since then and while it is still an excellent truck it pales in comparison to modern stuff.
