Recommend me a brushless RC Truck please...

After something for bashing, needs to be tough.

Ideally 1/8 or 1/10 scale monster truck or beefy stadium truck. Don't want a big top heavy full on truck like a savage or Tmax, something a bit more sleek like a revo...

Also want to run it fast on 3s/6s lipo. Been looking at HPI Bullet flux ST/MT but unsure on them....

The Bullet ST Flux effing rocks buddy, & represents the end of your search, IMHO. I consider myself a bit of an RC nut (Savage Flux HP (on 6S), Bullet ST Flux, Maverick Blackout - now jet-powered, & other stuff)

Fair enough, I have heard quite a few good things about them. Just sounds like it's worth swapping out the servo for something a little more powerful?

I quite like the look of the Arrma Kraton. It's big, tough and fast, but I can't say I have heard of Arrma before?

If you are prepared to build it yourself then I'm successfully running both a Wraith & Twin Hammers with brushless power. The wraith has been upgraded, TH is totally stock apart from an upgraded spur gear.

I'm getting very tempted by an HPI E-Firestorm Flux 10T. £250 ARTR and 77mph apparently. Review in RRCi a couple of months back didn't help me to not buy one either.

Can you get a couple in and do a group buy?

I have been speaking with HPI this week and they are a bit backwards in the whole account dept. I am looking at what I can do...but they are not big fans of me being online!

I have however got a car coming in next Thursday for a trial...Absima AMT8 - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/absima-amt8-4wd-brushl...

I have also asked Arrma for a version of their Kraton (which looks a bit awesome!) - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/arrma-kraton-blx-brush...

This will hopefully quench my first on the whole RC Truck thing for a couple weeks...

Shame

Looks like you've got some nice kit on the way though. Will you be posting reviews?

Ill have a look when they arrive. The absima should defo materialise but I am unsure about the Arrma jobby. Ill certainly get some pics up or something!

Finally got round to sorting something out for this and took delivery of an ARRMA Kraton 6S BLX today... got it all assembled and bound tonight! Got several 5000mah 3S packs all charged up, ready for some 6S mayhem tomorrow afternoon! Looks like a monster and from the reviews I read it sounds pretty solid too....
