RE: Which MT should I choose?
No, I'm not getting the nemesis or the gst. My father said that stay away from cen. I really like the looks of the savage x 4.6, but is the two speed already pre-set at the factory? If it is, I would get it, but if it's not, I'm not sure about getting it. I am kind of afraid of getting it. The reasons that I am a little afraid of getting it, because I don't really know how to set speeds and I am still a beginner in nitro. I look at instructions for nitro set ups, and I still don't understand nitros. I have a mammoth st and monster gt, and my father help me set there 2 speeds and tune there engines. They runs great. But I still don't know the basics of nitro. I'm afraid that I might need to quick nitro rc and stick with electric rc.

RE: Which MT should I choose?
The Savage is the easiest peace of cake to drive and operate/maintain ever. Start the motor, tune one tank and you can run your engine tuned like that for the next 3 months without any drastic weather changes. Depending on which model you want the two speed is a bit tacky. Like the X 4.1's and old S-25's had problems shifting if not warm enough because they were low revving motors and just didnt have the RPM's to engage second gear. The new X 4.6 should have no problems whatsoever. I love mine, I am turning it into a racer in order to beat all the Traxxas trucks around my area. Its already beating everything thanks to the STS .30 which is unshimmed and only has a gallon and some on it A+ motor. I cant wait till I mod it! Dont listen to the Traxxas fanatics, with some work the Savage will fly by Revos!

the 2 speed is factory preset but both of mine were never engaging so i loosend them up and now engage at 25 ft. if you have the mammoth st with the 24.7 motor thats a breaze to tune and so is the savage 28. the only thing i would get extra is a steel spure gear because it will save you some headakes untill you get it tuned properly(less melted spurs). nitro 2 strokes are pretty simple as long as you dont get frustrated with them. as long as you set the recommended idle and seal it up then set the low up so it transitions from idle to full throttle without a slow takepff and alot of smoke your golden ,and the high set untill you can make high speed runs without shutting down your done.there is a hpi video floating around somewere here and its really good,everyone new to nitro even some old boys (me included )can learn something new.

the 2 speed is adjusted from the tranny box .there is a hole in the tranny and you need to ajust it from there ,just 2 screws. you never need to take it apart, its ajusted the same way the mgt is. the only time is if you get the 3 speed then you need to take it apart, well at least the old version did.

I see. Thank you then. The savage x 4.6 also has easy access to the front and rear diff and center transmisson. I think that is good, because over time, there diffs gets wear and you need to replace it. It would be very fast to put a new diff in that savage.

I have a lst2 that I perchase off a friend of mine who never use it, For about $500. I got lucky, But those other trucks I mention earlyer are well worth the money. Give it a try[sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: Which MT should I choose?
A new LST2 is only $549 @ killerhobbies, and SO worth it.
My HPI Savage bashing pal has now bought a 8ight T and a LST2, and will be putting his Savages up on E-bay soon.
He has over $1200 in one of them, and offered to sell it to a pal o mine for only $400!!
After watching us all bash, my friend was like "I want one of those Losi trucks, they handle better, jump better and seem like a cut above" [8D]
