SaVaGe MaN SS -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 3:35:44 PM)

what are you planning to do with it, whats your budget?



dirtrunner42 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 3:41:53 PM)

i plane on bashing it i saw a nic revo on here with some nice hops just needs motor. my budget is 400 at the max for everything well let me know



Snaut Rocket -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 3:54:36 PM)

Last time I checked the mgt has more ground clearance than the revo.
If your just bashing i would go with the savage or the mgt.
REvo is a racer.



Clymer122693 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 4:38:15 PM)

See what your lhs supports better. I own a Revo and a Savage X SS and both are great trucks! you won't be disspointed with either truck.

I've never owned a MGT but have worked on a couple of them,never played with the suspension either but the Revo does have more ground clearence then my Savage. The Revo has more adjustibility the any other MT out there.

Both Trucks at suspension fully extended (Revo has Long Travel kit on it).

A Revo with a big block is a beast that will smoke any MGT, Savage, LST, etc. If you can score it, get it.



Muggy250r -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 6:29:21 PM)

i got a savage and love it its awesome! i had a revo 2.5r with a 3.3 and i didnt like it really... idk....... but a revo with a BB would be nasty... BUT make sure if its a BB u have all metal gears cause the stock plastic ones WONT take the power of a BB [:D]



badboy2 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 6:54:57 PM)

both are good trucks but i say go buy the mgt then u can compare it with ur friend's revo..[;)]



fm2h3 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/9/2008 11:43:19 PM)

Yes i would get the MGT if i were you they have insane power and are monster bashers. Plus they are bigger.



eXunforgiven -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/10/2008 10:55:47 PM)

I vote for the savage. Nothing takes a beating like a savage. If youre looking for a basher, you cant go wrong with HPI.



talkrc -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/10/2008 11:00:44 PM)

for whatever your going to do i would take the revo 3.3 the thing is quick, strong, and reliable. I have had one for over a year and has put that thing through hell and it still runs like new . revo is the way to go



Clymer122693 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/10/2008 11:41:48 PM)

Muggy-If you dont have a lead finger then the tranny will be fine,if the tranny can hold up to brushless power it will do just fine with a BB.



dirtrunner42 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 1:19:16 AM)

thanks for the advice what would have more ground clerence if i bud it be the y revo it will have the long travel rockers so would ahave the most ground clerence well thanks



ThunderbirdJunkie -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 1:20:35 AM)

You'll be happy with any of the trucks. Don't get a t-maxx.



Clymer122693 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 1:46:22 AM)

Dirtrunner-The revo comes with the long travel rockers and springs. My revo could of setup a little bit higher in that pic since the pushrods were set in the middle on the a-arm. Either way man you will be happy with any truck you get aslong as it's a revo or mgt or savage or even a lst



xraycer71 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 5:20:57 AM)

Just remember that more ground clearance looks cool, but it means more roll-overs at higher speed. IMHO, since your friends have Revos you should get a Losi MT or an MGT.....just because they're BIGGER!
Don't worry, whatever you choose you'll more than likely be happy with it.



ThunderbirdJunkie -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 5:55:28 AM)

I have my basher savage set up to sit low. I did the same thing to my Revo and both my Maxxes.

Ground clearance means dick. Skidplates are there for a reason.



dirtrunner42 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 2:24:25 PM)

how much bigger is the mgt to the revo i looked up the specs and there were really close maby 1-4 mill difference. my other friend has a 4.6 mgt but it doesent run he said he had center diff prombles somthing about a pin he had to drill out like the first week he got it it was brank new in box but some time i dont think he know his a$$ from a hole in the ground due to all the forms i looked up no one had to drill a pin out but i like team assoated i have a couple of them and there great cars.

now about ground clerence the higher you go the more roler over chance there is um how hard is it to adjust the setings on the revo.

how durabule is a savage i found this deal here in town it lookes nice but never ran hpi yet any info look at this

but like he said what ever i buy i will be happy just picking the more experince peoples brain well let me know thanks



Elite_Tux487 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/11/2008 3:41:36 PM)

I'm not too sure about the drilling out of the pins, the pins connecting the tranny to the CV axles tend to come loose and fall out often if they are not loc-tited and they don't use loc-tite on them from the factory. Thats a very simple fix for a common problem. I'm not sure how much bigger the mgt is compared to a revo, but I know that compared to a savage X it is only slightly bigger.

MGT: Length: 24.17"
Width: 17.24"

Aftershock: Length: 22"
Width: 18.5"

Revo 3.3: Lenght: 20.315"
Width: 16.125"

TheMGT and Losi looks even bigger than the Revo in person due to the massive stock rubber tires.



dirtrunner42 -> RE: advice on monster truck (6/12/2008 2:28:53 PM)
