That is a really tough question! This being 4WD helps in many driving scenarios. If you are planning on doing mostly off-road stuff, this might be a better option. If you are looking for something to upgrade over time, the Voltage might be a better option. It is much easier to upgrade the electronics on the Voltage. The HBX here is mostly just something you drive as it comes. Honestly - I don't see either as long-term bashers for a person. You will drive them, enjoy them, and eventually want to "step-up" in vehicle.
