RE: Which truck???
You have to decide trully what your intentions are with the truck . I bash with A savage and Tmaxx all the time . the savage takes more abuse but the tmaxx will out turn and out stop the savage any day of the week .But if I am going to bash I will use my savage . As far a speed I finally saw a savage with the pico 26 motor in it and I couldnt believe how fast and tenacous this truck was . As other have told you the only problem with the GT is that is doesnt take abuse . 52 mph is good but what do you do at 52 mph that wont break parts . I dont have enough space where I live to use that much speed without hitting something .I am not knocking the truck though .
Before you buy thing.now that the weather has change go to your local bash place or LHS and see trucks work . I like bottom i like bottom end torque so I can live with the fact I am not going to beat a tmaxx or gt top end . Decide what you want to do then buy it and enjoy it .
