I really really wouldn't get that truck as a basher, but its up to you. Still to high a price too. As above, I had one and it would snap the upper chassis ($4) plate on even a moderate front end hit. Additionally the plate attaches to the chassis by two raised pegs which also easily break off, and you are out buying a new $25 chassis as well to get it repaired. Not to mention this weakness bends the alu bottom chassis plate, which lives once unbent but eventually strips/snaps.

I had it for quite a while before I got fed up to buy a rustler. Its a tank. I even bought my wife a nice used graphite Losi XXT combo for $100. Its been quite a bit stronger than the T3, and won't take out the chassis if the upper plate snaps. Look for once of these first, or contact me. I have a number of good spare T3 parts (arms, plates, whole tranny, MIPs, loads of tires) that I no longer need if you really decide to go that route.
