Default New Truck?

Ok guys i'm in the market for a new mt, i love my muggy but i want more of a basher than a racer!

I was looking at a few trucks:

Cen racing GST 7.7 stock

Kyosho giga crusher

Hpi savage x ss, 3speed, reverse/w/mixer, tower 70mg servo, tower cs60, wheelie bar, hot bodies shock x8.

1/5th gas buggy!

losi aftershock

Depends what you mean by "bashing".. If you mean huge airs and jumps, then definitely Savage. If yor idea of bashing is more offroading and crashing over stuff, I might try the CEN..

Or, if you want to be the first and give us some feedback, how about this:

Seem to be more and more people talking about it. Would sure be cool to get a review on it...

I was really impressed with the New Cen GST 7.7 review. Seems like they have worked out all the bugs and beefed it up even better fixing anything that previous owners suggested. SO i bought it last week, should be here soon, i hear VERY good things about the new GST 7.7 for other owners. PLUS not a ton of people have them, i also have a Savage SS 4.6 but tons of people have the savage. The GST 7.7 is just a BIG truck with a powerful motor. I think the Savage is more durable thought but i'm not taking anything away from the GSt because it's very tough also. I say the GST 7.7 in my opinion!

I voted for the Aftershock, but I think you should get the LST2. It's the best bashing monster truck you can own right now.

I've seen quite a few different setups and the losi is very durable and a real big-ole' truck. The Muggy parts are very interchangeable too, so you can have a good lot of spares for both.

Yah the LST2 is supposed to be awesome as well.
I'd narrow it down to the GST 7.7, LST2, and the Savage X SS I BELIEVE in my opinion those are the top 3 trucks around right now.

MGT......After a year of bashing with my MGT, the only parts I had to replace were a couple of spur gears,hinge pins and a drive axle.
