The biggest - that would probably be the Thunder Tiger .70 (modified heli engine)

The most powerful - Novarossi .28 8 port (probably the most expensive also)

Either of those would probably shred the drivetrain in the T-Maxx.

Hey guys I'm new to the ntiro world and I was wondering what you guy think is the best nitro truck to buy i think the revo because there is so many mods that you can do. I have a 4wd buggy now and I plan to keep that for racing and now i want something to go crazy with so what do ya think ?????????

If you're looking to go crazy, get the Revo. You can really make those into a great racer if you want. The LST, im not too sure about but I know its awesome for bashing.

this thing has full metal diff cases, and diff cups, all 6 spider drive line is solid, has a center diff parts are very beefy has a 2 speed transmission comes with a fm remote this was my first cen product i tell you this truck really impressed me the quality of the parts are the best ive seen on any rtr. were talking very beefy parts this thing would shred my mgt in a collision and drag it all over the place and my mgt is no slouch when it comes to power. plus it drives so well on the track so much easir to drive than my mgt even though its a big truck it doesnt drive like one its very nimble.

oh thats cool . i never said it was a bad truck i think its awesome, its just the engine that doesn't really "wow" me considering its a .46 . cause one of my buddies has a nemesis and didn't seem like it was going that fast, then again he was running the engine real rich and i don't thing he was going WOT. the engine sounds nice though, sounds like a beast[>:]. i'll take your word for it that its fast

blackrain, rc magazines got 35-36 mph out of it, and knowing them, they leaned it to maximum power, a point that we wouldn't do with ours

I would agree it is below 40, but it is 17lbs! With the way aftermarket engine wars are going, it will not be long before we see major manufacturers releasing .40+ sized engines that will drop right in I mean we went from .28 to .30 now .32's. Trend seems to be bigger and bigger. For it's size the truck seems very nimble and fast, will my 18TM beat it? sure much smaller truck. But who looks at the genesis and see's speed demon LOL.

I don't see any way that a 17 pound truck will go 40 mph, or even 35 mph, even with a .46 engine, simply because it is too heavy.

I dont know about Nemesis since gearing is different but my genesis definitely does around 40mph. I would say its definitely on the same page with LST and Revo, however, i got all the torques other truck does not have. hehe

I would buy a Nemesis if i have the $$$$ right now. That truck looks so sexy...
