Default Cant decide!!!

I am gonna buy a new monster truck and i narrowed them all down to the savage 25 and the MGT. I cannoth decide which one!. I am only going to be bashing so the mgt has the reverse and the dual pick up tank, i like that, its soo good for bashing with those things. but the savage is the most durable! i am soo stuck, i need someones help please. i know i prolly shouldnt ask here cause this is a savege forum but please give me your honest awnser.

I am kinda leaning towrds the MGT becasue the the 2 pickup tank and reverse.

the mgt goes 32 mph. the savage goes about 37-39. the savage has way more hop ups available. the savage is more durable.

The MGT tank can be run on the Sav., so can reverse. You can probably add both and still come in under the MGT in price.... then you have the fact that the Sav is faster and more durable.



But it is your money, go ask the MGT guys what they think.

The savage wins no contest in my opinian, becouse my first nitro car was a rc10gt and every time itook it out for a run it would break becouse of this bad experience i would never buy a team assoicated product again (accept for the b4)


go for the savage

Why buy a MGT if the only thing you like is reverse and dual tanks. Savage is durable, better, and can have reverse and dual tanks.

How about this one then. There are a lot more Savages around, parts are more readily available (most of the time). And just simply a lot more hop up parts available for the Savage. Got it. Get it.
