Quote:What fun is it bashing a truck like a Savage or LST that has such a bad suspension system that you have to pray it'll land on it's wheels? Except in the hands of the very best drivers, I usually see these trucks cartwheeling. They do great cartwheels though.
First off, not everyone is into serious racing. Second, the LST suspension is not as bad as you say. The truck does handle quite well, is quite easy to keep on the wheels. Sure, you can't take a turn at full speed, but let's face it, these are supposed to be Monster trucks... If it wasn't for the durability of the LST, I would still have it. I just don't have the bottomless pockets that I wish I had. The LST has been actually holding it's own on the bigger tracks, where the drivers can take advantage of the speed. Revo's are dominating small tracks because of their Non-Monster Truck suspension.
I know it is always a BAD idea to come into a forum, and ask "What is better"... It's almost guaranteed to start a Flame war. Just because something works for one person, doesn't mean it will work for everyone. I am in no way putting down the Revo, it is a great truck. But to say "Anything but _______ is not worth owning" is completely wrong. If someone is going to do mostly bashing, with an occasional race, and not care about where they finish, The Savage IS the best choice. If that person wants a truck that they will be able to race competitively with, the Revo and LST are both good choices. The deciding factor, is Track size, and willingness to upgrade parts. Out of the box, Revo, but if you don't mind doing some serious upgrades and will be racing on a big track, I would get a LST.
