The tower terror is a true monster truck, while the mt spec 3.0 is more of a truggy, (but its not a true truggy)

The tower terror has a bigger engine, its a bigger truck all around, its 2 inches longer and a full inch wider... its has bigger tires and a wheelie bar included, which, according to the reviews Ive read, it is easily able to use .... the tower terror has a bigger fuel tank by 50cc's, The tower terror is a single speed vs the mt spec's 2 speed, but they both go around 40Mph... this is due to the tower terror being able to be geared higher because of the gigantic engine (but it still has the power to pull off wheelies) tower terros has aluminum shocks, the cen's are plastic. The CEN DOES have a computer radio, BUT its on 27Mhz AM, so its not all that much better... both have high torque metal gear steering servos...

Ive heard that the cen engines like to overheat....

Anyhow..... out of those two, i would go for the tower terror...BUT, a T-maxx 2.5 is only $50 more, and is loads better than either of those, plus it has reverse (sorry, I would just never buy a nitro without reverse, just the kind of person I am.... one walk across a parking lot to turn my buddys rustler around was enough for me...)

If you want insane power, go with the tower terror... if you wan a little less power, but great handling, the best parts support (ive NEVER been to a hobby shop that doesn't have t-maxx parts) and reverse, geta t-max....

lier The baja 5 b can handle literally 3 or 4 times the jump hight and landings before breaking somthing
if you buy a couple more upgrades for it i have seen people trying to break it legitly and nothing now matter how many jumps they messed up of purpose....
But i would reccomend a MGT over anything 4 u

Status: offline 		definitely upgrade the revo, a revo is a way better truck than either of those you mentioned... if you want to try something different, try a 1/18th truck... they are a lot of fun. I have a mini quake and a losi mini monster baja, both are loads of fun.. the losi drives better though.
