Well, I checked out the RCCA Monster Truck issue and see that they compared the 1) Revo 2) Savage 3) LST 4) MGT and 5) TNX. They picked the LST and I like it too, especially since it comes with a synth FM radio, but it it's waaayyyy expensive. I'm trying not to go over $500 since my budget is only $350 and I have to sell some stuff to make up the difference.
I think about $450 is what I'll have to spend in the end and I can easily get a Revo for that much. Since I already own an AE and like their support and quality, I was also thinking the MGT, but the mag said its sluggish, and not as fast as the others. Any opinions? Freeride, why didn't you get the MGT and just change the engine and gearing? And what about the Tamiya? Anyone have it or work with it? I've never owned Tamiya and thought maybe I should get one by the grandaddy of RC, but I'm not sure about how easily tuneable it is. Thanks everyone and keep the opinions coming. You guys are great!
