Default SS or RTR?

Im about to purchase a Savage to accompany my Tmaxx, and was wondering what your thoughts are on the savage SS or 25 RTR. Now, we all know the 25 has the fixed hubs and fuel tank, while the ss gives you no radio, money savings and a better tuned pipe. I'm a lil rusty about the +'s and -'s about the 2, could some1 fill me in? What, other than the price, should make me buy a savage SS over a 25 RTR, and vice versa. Thanks

If you dont have experience as a builder get the rtr, monster trucks arent the best thing to use when learning to build

Well in that case I would say get the kit, and in another one of your posts you said that you got a new radio so you can just get another Rx and crystals and theres your radio
