Well my first and only off-road was the HPI Nitro MT which turned out to be a total nightmare. I've heard similar situations from different people who owned the MT so it must be a the way the car was made. My next car was an on-road which I liked and still like alot more because of the less breaking but I still want an off-road truck which made me look at the Monster GT. I have an AE car I like now so I'm going try out the GT which I've read alot of good things about from reviews and people who owned them.
