RE: Id like to see rcu do a monster truck shootout!!
Websites like these cant risk that sort of stuff, vendor relationships are too important. You'll never see a large commercial website like RCU outright say X is better than X - at least not when it comes to major players like HPI, Traxxas, Losi, etc. Just look at the RCU reviews - theyre great if you're looking for a nice video and some good pics, but theyre very mild in terms of pointing out cons, and they rarely do meaningful comparisons across brands.
