Best Bashing Setup For Emaxx

just curious what you guys would setup for an Emaxx to just mess around with. i'm looking for value here. don't care about looks. i took my recently purchased emaxx out today and tore it up. screws are missing, i bent the front right arm. the front bulk head is bent, all kinds of problems. it was fun tho. i also broke my chassis and will need to get a new one of those as well. i was looking into getting a gorillamaxx or fastlane machine chassis, but how well can those take a beating? how heavy are they? are they worth the extra money?
