Tell me if this is a good deal
I just bought the recat rampage TT. So far I love it, it has the side dom pipe and I just ordered the 30.5 big bore kit and steel gears for it, it has the upgrade kit also. From the same hobby shop I got it at, they have a used FG MT. It has a Samba pipe, Magura front brakes, 2 speed conversion, upgraded servos, upgraded linkages and a k&n filter. A guy sold it to the hobby shop and only used it a few times. They are selling with new never been mounted forged aluminum BADASS beadlocks for $1050 with radio. The guy that sold it to the LHS had another MT that was heavily modified, he ordered the forged rims in for it and someone stole his modded MT and thats when he sold the otehr one to the LHS. Should I just stick some money into the TT like shocks and other little things or will I have a lot of fun with the FG also? I would probably install the 4x4 kit on it. I can't decide what to do since I have never driven a 1/5 MT before. What do I do? Should I buy it? Is it a good deal? I could get the truck without the beadlocks for 800 but they are so sweet! Decisions decisions, I wont have the money for a month or so since I just bought the DX3S and some other stuff to make me temporarily happy lol.

RE: Tell me if this is a good deal
Damn, I didn't know that was even in the making! I got rid of the 5B because it was horrible in this area, not good in the snow or anything unless you stud the tires but the tires cost so damn much. I guess I could see how addicting the TT is with the big bore. I am pretty hard on these so I need something that is going to hold up. I take them to a couple different motocross tracks. Its pretty sweet. The FG does feel like it has pretty awesome suspension and looks really sweet. How stable are they in the air?
