I want 3 new trucks, wife says I get one
Ok so what should I get
1. Traxxas Slash
2. HPI E Firestorm Flux
3.CEN ME16T
I already have a Rustler VXL so the slash and flux would kinda fall in that category and was thinking about getting the ME16T because of wheelnuts review

buy a couple that you can put the same body on, she won't be able to tell the difference
don't get a divorce, that's way more expensive

how about this... Buy all 3 trucks and hide them somewhere like under your pillow, that would make a extra fluffy pillow with springs =) and when your wife says wheres the money say you spent it on drugs.... Medication for healing [:'(] HAHHAA

Don't get a divorce if her lawyers are good she'll get custody of all your RC's.
I say get the CEN. You already have a 1/10 and a 1/16 is more fun if space is limited IMO.

RE: I want 3 new trucks, wife says I get one
My wife checked my computer history to see if I was ordering from Tower since I left the UPS box outside and she found it after work hahaha! I am cut off from spending till June (this is my punishment even after I spent $200 on some hair straightner she wanted). So, I figure in comparison... you getting one (any of the 3) puts you in good standings in my book!
Half my married friends hide all their purchases... I normally don't (I will start tonight and then clear my history hahahaha)
Lucky Duck!

I took my wife to the Hobby Store for just some small parts and saw the new Savage XL and she told me to buy it. So i did.

RE: I want 3 new trucks, wife says I get one
see one of the perks of being younger and not married yet... is i just keep any new buys quiet for a couple months. then if she sees them after that and starts yelling i say "honny, i've had that thing for a while, its not new", and she's usually like "oh, well i haven't seen it.". last year for Christmas, i just printed a picture of the boat i wanted with a tower code, and she got the hint. so i told her from now on i'm just going to print my wish list before Christmas/birthday and stuff, and she can pick whatever she wants. easy for her, good for me, its win win. i just have to be a little patient, and if she knew what i've spent at tower over the last two years, she's flip.
but anyways, since the traxxas and the hpi are similar to what you already have, if it were me i'd go with something a little different. i think its fun to be able to run something that handles and runs different, just to change things up.

Ok, Im going with the CEN ME16mt for now. I will get the flux after a few months maybe the price will come down a little like the Ruster.

Well, i'm quite a fan of Traxxas products so I would suggest the Slash!
It's new, fast, and has that sporty rally truck look.

If you only get one I'd get the Firestorm Flux. Unless you really NEED the trophy truck look, there isnt much to be said for the Slash.
