What truck do you think Justin should buy?

PS Keep in mind that I'm looking for a truck that has power, climing, and durability and an excellent top speed and something thats able to take impact from large jumps- a good basher.

You forgot the Mammoth

My Feedback: (1)

i would say the revo it's probably the best of all the worlds,and it's got tones of aftermarket support

ICrashThings

He said climbing, The T-Maxx would be better then the revo for that.

estella

I WOULD SAY A SAVAGE FOR DURABILITY AND A LITTLE ON CLIMBING,LST IS GOOD TOO FOR CLIMBING BUT DONT KNOW ABOUT THE DURABILITY,I LIKE THE LST AND A REVO FOR RACING.

LST-UK

LST



A blue one there faster.....

Kemo

There are a couple things wrong with that. The savage is the worst truck for climbing. Revo's have been proven to be about 1.5 seconds quicker laptime wise compared to the Maxx.

You are 100% wrong there. The revo has proven to be a better climber.

ICrashThings

nvm

Kemo

RCCA is paid to tell what they tell, DUH. When was the last time you saw a terrible review? Like when they reviewed the CEN touring car... it was garbage but they gave it rave reviews.

And I know what u said... u just changed ur last comment to nvm.

ICrashThings

cause RCCA is always bias towards the new truck

Kemo

No, because RCCA is paid to give a good review. Its always been that way.

estella

i never said that savage is good on climbing, i said a little and i never compare cars that are not in the same scale like you did of saying a revo is better in climbing then to tell you in my books they are completely different scale.if i were to choose what to buy especially in terms of racing and bashing iwould go for lst it has all in one package for a 1/8 scale.

Kemo

we werent comparing by scale, it was MT in general. If he wants the best crawlers u can get, then Kyosho's Mad Force and XTM's X-Factor is the way to go. They are nearly impossible to break, and they are both quick trucks. Mad Force clocks out about 43 mph and is the only truck that has the torque to NEED a wheelie bar.

If you want to compare crawling in scale, Savage is still the worst crawlers u can get.

jjm88

With climbing which trucks are the hardest to turn over?

Savage_Dias

Mad Force climber??? I can't see that at all. The videos I've seen have been little more than bouncing & body roll. I guess it comes down to what kind of climbing you're talking about. Slow, methodical driving or punch it & see if you can jump at the top. I tend to go for the 1st style. My Savage can easily "crawl" 6"-8" curbs with no crawling mods done to it. When it comes to speed climbing my Savage can take a 100' hill (dirt, slate, weeds) that's between 30 & 40 degrees with a roughly 20 ft. run.

I'm not dogging anyone or any trucks. Just wanted to throw some info out.

jjm88

Thats what I want to be able to do. Speed climb up and over hills well bashing the hell out of my truck.

Tnx_4_life

tnx = fast, can climb, and shocks are dogpoop. get some xtralarge shocks and u can bash, jump the hell out of it...if u dont mind a .18...but thats just MHO

ScMc

I said Tnx... cuz I just ordered one, hehe.

Anyways, Savages can climb very well,

[link=http://www.rcpics.net/img/40232]Check Out this vid to see what I mean[/link]

XTM X-Factors are slow and break parts like MAD, Check out RcUniverse's review on this truck. Here is a pic of what your workbench will have on it if you get an X-Factor...



Also, have fun replacing clutches if you plan on actually rock crawling with this thing (or whatever nitro truck you get), It's common knowledge that nitros just dont crawl well, they dont have instantaneous torque like an e-maxx or a txt-1 would have.

Mad Forces are alright, I dont know much about them, I know they wheelie like heck, but I doubt they "speed" climb very well with those solid axles.

jjm88

Thinks ScMc you were a big help. Let me know how your TNX performs alright?

ScMc

sure will bro

jjm88

cool

Kemo

Mad Forces actually speed climb with out a problem. They have so much torque that they tend to flip over backwards. But, they are indeed one of the best rock crawlers besides the X Factor. I dont know what you are shooting for, but climbing can be achieved very easily with several hopups, it just takes time and constant control. When it comes to crawling, solid axles take the trophy.

jjm88

I want to be able to climb up and over hills easily with know problems.

jjm88

rccars411 Do you like King of the Hil also or are you a big Dale Gribble fan?

Kemo

ok so you will want a truck with lots of torque. Savage. If that isnt enough for you, try a different clutch, like aluminum shoes.

Lol i like Dale, how paranoid and stupid he is
