Default Thinking about the truckzilla, any one have any advice?

I currently own a lost lst2 and am thinking it is time to upgrade. I would like to first upgrade to the savage and then to the truckzilla. Does anyone have anything to say about the savage or truckzilla? Would this be a good upgrade from my lst2? Thanks!

or do you think it would be more worth it to just go with the savage xl?

And as long as it doesnt have a .46 engine... The new XL Savage is your best bet out of those options..

Has there been problems with the .46? Where do you think the cheapest site to get the xl from would be?

take it from someone who bought the truckzilla when it 1st came out. i have MANY r/c vehicles, and money is not an issue. but i must say the truckzilla was the biggest waste of money i ever spent. the engine is total garbage, nothing more than an airplane engine. it totally sucked. right now its sitting on my desk as a paper weight, and im not joking. the tvp's were marginal at best. the big tires were ok as long as you run them on the truckzilla platform. i gave the tvps away to a friend, gave the tires to another friend, and the engine sits on my desk and makes a nice converation piece. total waste of money. put the cash twords a savage xl, or twords your current savage. trust me, its a total pos.
