[Update: Voting and giveaway entry have closed. Check back on Tuesday morning for the official crowning of the 2012 March Bash-ness Champion! And come back in the evening to find out who our giveaway winners are!]
So this is it, the final showdown, the last dance, the umm… ending poll. One gets crowned March Bash-Ness Champion 2012, the other goes home. The MT4-G3 dominated it’s side of the bracket, most polls weren’t even close. The Dominus 10SC battled it’s way through, winning many hard-fought votes, usually just barely. Nobody ever thought that the Dominus would make it past the first round, much less all the way to the final. But it’s here. And now you all get to decide which one wins and which one goes home.
Lets talk about giveaways, shall we? If you were around for March Bash-ness last year, you know that we ended up giving away a HPI Savage Flux 2350, after the Flux HP was crowned the victor. This time around, we’re giving away TWO trucks! That’s right, both trucks that made it to the final are now up for grabs. One ThunderTiger MT4-G3 and one Helion Dominus 10SC. All you have to do is vote and leave a comment below and you’ll be entered. There are some official rules though, so make sure you read them to make sure you qualify.
So, on that bombshell, let’s get on with the voting. If you’re on the home page, click the Read More button to see the poll, otherwise just scroll on down.
* UPDATE: Polls now working again.. get voting!
Voting ends Monday, April 2nd 2012 at Midnight cst. We will announce the winner of the drawings the evening of April 3rd.

Let the games begin!
This is truly sad. There’s no way that little toy noname SCT should even be in a vote with an MT4. Seriously? And it’s winning? This is *abviously* cheating. So, it’s either a 12 year old kid with a Dominus that’s also a little hacker, or some 20-30something with the mentality of a 12 year old kid that is. Whatever. I’ll tell you this — If I win the Dominus, I’ll take it and my MT4, seperate them by about 500′ and ram them full throttle into each other. I’m talking the MT4 on a 6S 5000mah pack. I’ll video the whole thing and post it on youtube.
How does everyone think *that* would turn out, lol.
This is sad:-( But if they cannot afford a real basher then I guess the Helion Dominus is all they know.. Oh and how to vote for a inferior product:-)We all know the truth TT is the best basher…………
mt4-g3 FTW!!!!
the dominus and tiger trucks are both great. i know a kid that could really put a bashing on either one lol.
Thunder Tiger G3 MT4
My son in law and I tried to break my MT4 this past Wednesday. I’m talking 40′-50′ of air off of a dirt hill many many times. I lost a body clip — that’s it! Hoping to win one for him!
I could always use another MT4 for my buddies to bash with.
The poll doesn’t appear to be working in my browser – I am just posting my vote:
MT4-G3
obviously the MT4-G3! funny that its pretty much underdogs tho
If the manufacturers are watching you should vote what you want them to make. No more 1/10 scale knock offs that bring nothing new to the table. I want a truck that is built to take punishment. TT really paid attention to the details, wish other manufacturers would do the same. I want more trucks like the MT4.
just the perfect cars to start the year with.i desperetly want the mt4 g3
I could use me another MT4-G3…
GO MT4!!! The best RC I have EVER owned!
Very interesting to see two relatively no-name trucks getting into the finals! I’m also glad to see that the results seem to be based on merit rather than tomfoolery. Mostly I just wanted to say tomfoolery.
As for the vote, I have to think that a short course truck is not going to be as good of a basher as a truggy turned monster truck. My vote has to go to the TT MT4 G3.
And yeah the poll is broken. I can’t vote.
MT4G3 all the way.
I’m all for higher end vehicles BUT the Dominus, it’s durability, strength and pricepoint…wow. As for the MT4 G3…I want one!!!!! I want both….I want it all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need a new basher! Mt4 please
I would love a MT4-G3. Maybe it could stand up to my level of bashing! I have ruined everything else I have tried…
Way to go MT4! Glad to see this great truck getting recognized
Would LOVE to win a Thunder Tiger. I really need something that will get over big jumps. So I’m entering the contest!
my votes for the Thunder Tiger MT-4
Dominus!!
MT4-G3 it is
Still sad the slash is out…but you know what this say “don’t feed the bears” – I vote for the ThunderTiger MT4-G3
I can’t seem to vote, so here is an entry for the giveaways. Thanks.
I could really do with one of these cars !!!!!!
The MT4 looks SOLID! Awesome paint too!
MG4-G3!!!!!!
im in ill take either truck, mt4 preferably.
Dominus Domination
Re-entered the RC hobby after 20 years with the Dominus. HOO-RAH!
Dominus all the way, 199 dollar RTR makes it hands down the best truck for anyone to beat on. Hope i win, if not tax returns will provide me one
Would love a Thunder Tiger! Go Big Squid! You guys rock!
Sorry, posted twice. This was not intentional. Please tell me how to remove this or disregard this.
no problem. Your ok. It’s the people that abuse it we bannish
The Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 just will not break, trust me I tried
Just got back into RC bashing with the Dominus 10SC. I’m surprised to see it held out this long. I bent a front dogbone in the second day of driving it, shocks are already wearing out, and the rear toe is awful (and not adjustable). I’m going to have to vote for the Thundertiger.
The MT4 is a beast! Could it be the savage has something to worry about?
Thunder Tiger MT4-G3.
The thunder tiger is the best truck 2012.
Thanks for giving the mt4 the recognition it deserves.
Go MT4-G3
I have an honest question; I am not trying to spam the comments ( this is my second comment ). Is the purpose of the comments section here to actually discuss the two trucks in the poll, or to just enter the competition by proclaiming your preference? If this is considered spam please delete it.
Hi I would absolutely love if you guys could be awesome enough to possibly consider the idea of making a 14 year olds dream come true. I would absolutely love to have either truck, love your guys website.
~Dannen
New truck would be awesome! Pick me pick me! Love u bsrc.
looks durable
MT4-G3 is a BEAST!!!
Need a MT to add to my garage. Go TT!
I will stand next to helion and the Dominus 10sc, I have one with traxxas electronics in it to make sure its waterproof all the way, but even stock its an amazing truck, I wish I could say I know about thunder tiger and their rc but honestly none of the hobby shops carry their products
Need an MT to add to my garage. GO TT!
Pick me! The odds have to be slightly better of winning this than the $640 Million lottery! Slide one of those trucks my way and I promise to make a very healthy donation to the site if I hit the Mega Millions!!
awesome contest, Mt4 hands down is the best basher!
The most durable truck ever ! So stable on the roughest surfaces, intelligently built, no need to have 1000 hop ups.
Try it and you’ll forget about any other brand.
Basher of the year for the win. Although I would be happy winning either one.
Dominus all the way…
Can’t vote for both can we….DOH!!!!
Great Job Big Squid!
I’d love to receive the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3, they’ve been out of stock for months. I’ve been dying to use the best RC basher on the market!
I don’t own an MT4-G3 but still know it needs to be champ.
Mt4 all the way. I can’t believe the do minus made it this far
No Comment. Thats a comment right?
MT4 G3!!!
Who has ever heard of the Dominus?
LOVIN these TRUX!
Awsom
Go Thunder Tiger!
MT4 G3 all the way baby!
I really want to win that ThunderTiger!
I was pulling for the vorza.. Looks like the thunder tiger will win.
When you build a truck tough enough to withstand BSRC testing and be crowned Basher of the Year, you know you’re doing something right. Good job, Thunder Tiger!
voted for mt4g3, but both look like good skate park bashers, so not sure it really matters…ill take either ftw!
mtg4-g3 is a true basher like a timex keeps on trucking or is that ticking!!!
MT4 G3. That’s what I want. Were I to win a Dominus I will give it to my 6 year old son but I myself would LOVE a truck that I cannot break. My 2wd slash is easy to break with a 2080KV motor =) MT4 G3!
MT4-G3
Waited many years for a basher that could satisfy my thirst for driving and jumping with no worries of having to order parts and repair my truck after every run… GO TT MT4G3
Something funny is going on here, I mean really the dominus leading the MT4. Its not even in the same leauge as the thunder tiger. I hope the are watching the voting. That or the traxxasa boys are just getting even after getting their you know whats kicked..
I WANT TO WIN THE (enter name of giveaway truck here) IT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
The dominus rocks! for the new brand on the block the thing can not be beat!
either truck would be awsome to win.
MT4 already won the basher of the year award. This should go to the Dominus.
Huge fan of both cars…do not own either one…would love to have one for myself!
Sorry for the accusations on Facebook, was in sort of a bad mood that day. I can see you did not rig it, just building suspense! Anyways, nice contest and I hope that I win one of these bad boys!
TT G3 MT4
Thunder Tiger MT4 G3 FTW!!!
I own an MT4 G3 and it owns my brothers E Revo! I LLLLOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE the MT4!!!!!!! I want another!!!!!!!! GO BIG SQUID RC!!!!!!! Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!
Both great trucks. Monster truck or short course? Only time will tell.
Odd that no big names got in. If money was involved, Mine would have gone on the 5ive T for sure!
MT4-G3
Has to be the monster truck, simply awesome!
I have had so many Nitro Trucks over the years. The Thunder Tiger MT4 is my favorite so far. Family members enjoy using it in the front yard. Thanks to Big Squid RC and all the staff for this opportunity.
BigGrump, Southern California
I want to win! I really like the MT-4G3
MT4-G3!!! This is one TOUGH truck! The Dominus 10SC…… Not so much IMO
pretty cool bracket idea. Can’t believe the Savage was beat out in the first round!
Another awesome giveaway guys. Thanks for all the hard work.
GO USA VOTE DOMINUS !!!!!!!
MT4-G3 takes it. More power, big wheels, the only way to go.
Go MT4-G3!
I would love to win a mt4 or dominus. Let the voting begin
The MT4 looks pretty sweet but I own the Dominus and it is the car i give to all my buddies to drive who do not have an RC car or any driving experience, and that car has yet to be broken. Dominus all the way!
Gotta give it up for the underdog..
Let’s get a comment up in here so I can win myself a new truck!
Bashing season is upon us!
I think the MT4-G3 wins. It just has all the right stuff going for it. And for a all around thrasher basher the MT4-G3 is it.
mt4! its a monster1
Vote for the MT4 G3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jq-G_NPIic
hey i hope that dominus wins iv been voting for him throught this whole thing and im just a short coarse lover
please pick me as a winner, I would love me some MT4-G3 with bigsquidrc stickers all over, ill pay shipping and everything!!!
Vroom
Go mt4 g3
mt4
whoops posted twice now three times
Where’s the Tyco? I guess I’ll have to settle with one of these.
I enjoyed the battle and would really like to win one!
Wow I would love a free Rc, I recently broke my elbow so I’m out of work for a bit and money I had for an RC is now rent.
Mt4 sure, kills local bike tracks
Thunder tiger all the way!
MT4-G3 all they way!
short course has run it,s course(smile)
time for the return of stadium and truggy/buggy or monster trucks.
go bash without the regulations.
domninus,,can’t really beat all the bashing for the buck. My daughter wants one so bad to show the local boys girls can bash too.
Thunder Tiger MT4 is my favorite. It run like a leopard and jump like a kangaroo.
Thunder Tiger MT4 ROCKs, all the best to you. Good luck.
MT4 is a beast of a machine. With only a few minor DIY mods it can put a lot of RC that have had hundreds of dollars in upgrades to shame. Talking from personal experience there with my Revo and Flux. The MT4 is my favorite truck/monster truggy (what ever you want to call it) by far. I sold the E-Revo and the Savage Flux is covered in cobwebs since I bought the MT4.
Hopefully the contest will keep the momentum that Thunder Tiger has, growing like wildfire. Who wouldn’t want a class 1 buggy from Thunder Tiger, built like the MT4!?
Thunder Tiger FTW
Another awesome give away from big squid, hope I win!
mt4 g3
the MT4-G3 is a BEAST!
Obvious winner is obvious.
ThunderTiger MT4-G3 hands down, this is one bad a** truck. I love mine!!!!
I just did a search on both MT4 and Dominus 10sc on YOUTUBE. MT4′s video way out numbered Dominus. Dominus only has barely 3 pages. Go! Go! MT4 G3!
I have planks and helis, need a truck to get into the surface side of the hobby.
Im really surprised that the dominus made it this far but im a SC man so go Helion
BigSquid is the most kick ASSSSS website EVER
Personally I would want the MT4-G3. My question is how are you rating the March Bashness. Is it just fans picking out trucks they like or is BSRC actually testing them? Also it would be nice to have a second review on the Dominus SCT, why and how a $200 truck made it this far? Cause honestly I would of thought a Slash 4×4 would be faster & better built…
The MT4 is a true basher, pop in a 6S and you have a different beast, put in a 15T pinion with the 6S and prepare to get frightened! Its well built to withstand abuse as well!
Daddy wants a new MT4….
MT4 Rocks
MT4-G3 is a workhorse. It’s deserving of the top spot.
Thunder Tiger!!!!
I’d go with the SCT
Dominus 10SC
Helion Dominus 10SC
Helion Dominus
HD is the complete package. i love this product.
DOMINUS is one tough truck! I have seen my cousin do everything with from flipping it to jumping it to pretty much anything but run the thing over! Great investment for any radio controlled hobbyist.
One of the boys on our block has been drooling over these trucks. I’d love to win one for him!
Go Dominus!
Go Dominus
The Helion Dominus 10SC is not only the best basher, it is much more stylish!
So True..the TT is kinda Fugly.
Dominus Rocks!!!
I may have voted twice, not intentional….but to repeat an earlier comment, for the money and durability, go Dominus!! But I WANT the TT!!!
Unfortunately I may have voted twice too…don’t disqualify me! Lol
Dominus 10sc is clearly superior!
Go Helion Dominus 10SC!
Gotta love the Dominus!!!
Funnnnnnnnn!
Thunder Tiger all the way!
Hot truck.
Dominus all the way!
Mt4 all day
Let’s go Dominus and dominate the competition
I would much rather beat the heck out of a $200 truck than $550. If I was feeling really saucy I’d buy two.
Dominus is a great value truck for the money. Tough to break, easy to fix…
i just velineon’d my dominus and its awesome. disappointed in the frame stength (bent after full speed into a curb… yes my fault) but overall cant complain. kinda funny it beat the 5ivet because i really want one of those next.
Cant beat a 4WD RTR for 200! drop a few upgrades here and there and the thing is a beast.
MT4 for the win, awesome truck that puts a giant grin on my face every time i run it
come on MT4!!!
Dominus, best bang for your buck!
Dominus Domination
Go Dominus or Go home!!!!
Hi, Please enter me into the March Bash-ness drawing. Thanks.
The Dominus is 200.00, the MT4 is 550.00, what is a 12 year old to do ????
Great Truck,it takes a licken and keeps on runnin
MT4 lovers are obviously compensating — go Dominus!
Go Dominus 10SC!!
Sweet! Dominus RULES!
MT4 Rules!!!!!
Go mt4
Long way to go TT MT4, but i am here for you
i hope i win the short coarse dominu i really want it because i have the smaller animus and i heard that this is an awesome car and i wanted to be able to race in short coarse races at leisure hours raceway
