help me decide
hey guys well it turns out that the engine on my mammoth was toast before i bought it so im selling back for the same proce[&:] so now im gonna need a new truck! i've narrowed it down to 3 the lst, beacause it;s big it's powerfrul it looks great it cmes with an incredible radio and i made buy losi, the 2nd is the gs storm sut because it's small, has a big block , has good handling , screams on a track, copmes wth a decent radion and is a little faster than lst which doesnt really matter but its nice to know you have the fastest truck and the 3rd is the e maxx because it has awesome torque, much simpler then nitro i already hav all the electric batteries and stuff. i cant decide anyone have links to reviews on any of these truck and anyone own any of these truck and wants to give me their opinions. thanks i n advance

LST is an awesome truck it handles awsome but it's not the most durable truck ever but losi is making parts to fix this, i hated my mammoth, i think the LST is a great all around truck, you can bash with it or you can take it to the track and spank on the boys. the gs storm is geared more toward racing but i hear it's a great truck aswell, i guess it all depends on what your using it for, the MGT is a great truck also if your thinking about one of those.

i almost GS Storm SUT because there was a sale on one a hobbytown, but i went with a t-maxx. anyways out of your three id get the SUT for racing because its looks awesome and it would handle really well. if you entered it into the monster truck races youd have a advantage of the lower center of gravity. If you wanted a basher i like the LST. its still pretty low so it would be a good racer too. emaxx has always been faithful and with a brushless motor you could rival the t-maxx. thats my opinion anyways. read some reviews before you buy.

guys, maybe you can find parts for your smartech brand at www.rseetoys.com . i noticed that this site only carry smartech stuff. if you don't see what you need just contact them to ask. their searching function is pretty cool. you put the part's number in it just finds for you. good luck.

I was gunna say E-maxx. Tell your dad no matter how hard you try, or how many mods you buy, it will never beat an E-maxx in durabilty or torque. Bashing is bashing as long as you are having fun doing it, but you need a truck that will take a bashing if your gunna be bashing. aka E-MAXX !!!

there is simply no choice BUT the Savage.
It's by far and away the king of bashers.
but not much of a racer. unless your willing to put in a few bucks and make it a project.

RE: help me decide
Get a new engine THEN sell the mammoth.
Or ring up the customer services, all products legally come with a 12 month warranty.
And if ypu say the engine was pre-toast. demand a replacement.

Or you can withdraw money via paypal or credit card company if you paid with these types of payment methods.
