what truck
im looking into mt's and i kinda like the savage and the aftershock.... but what im mostly looking for is a truck that is obviously tough, fast..(40 mph plus) and i like 8 shocks compared to 4, and i DON'T want a traxxas and a truck that has mostly hex hardware like my jato, thanks

RE: what truck
Well Theres alot of mt's That have hex hardware. The lst2 AND REVO BOTH HAVE 4 SHOcks. But if you have no budget line I defintly go with the lst2. But If your on a budget look into the mgt or aftershock.

RE: what truck
Savage is a good fairly strong truck I bash mine and the only parts I have replaced have been a rear diff a couple a-arms and an axle carrier MGT is also a strong truck plus I am almost positive you have both pull start and roto start without add ons ( in the older model I had) but if money isn't a big concern LST 2 is the way to go a big strong truck with a selectable transmission for either higher top speeds or tons of low end off the line grunt I have seen people race them on a track backyard bash and they go as far and getting a metal gear and set them up for truck pulling.

RE: what truck
Defanitly get an Aftershock or an MGT. The four shocks on the Aftershock are not a bad thing at all. The Aftershock/LST has the best suspension of any monster truck.
