RE: new truck
I currently own a tricked out Savage and a Revo both are great trucks. The Revo out of the box is a better racer and a good basher. Just the opposite for the Savage only it being a poor racer and an awesome basher. I highly recommend either of these trucks. But I would stay as far away from the LST as possible. I named mine the LS-Tmaxx because every time I drove it something broke. The a-arms broke during brake-in driving off a curb. Good luck on your decision.
