Help me pick out my x-mas present
Hello all,
I'm looking for a vehicle that can handle just about anything I could throw at it. Since this is basically the definition of a monster truck I thought I'd ask for one. My budget is around $300.00 I know that won't buy any of the newer (best ones) like the LST2. My budget pretty much narrows it down to the TMaxx, Savage, or a Mammoth.
I am planning on doing some insane jumps and just trashing it around. I want to know the best model that will be very durable and reliable.
I'm not new to RC, but to Monster trucks.
Thanks in advance,
-Steppen

Steppenwolffan21 , that is for the Savage X SS kit , it is NOT RTR .
You will need an engine , and electronics to run it .
In your price range there isnt many contenders , the Aftershock is a good truck .
If youre willing to spend a little more the A.E. Monster GT 4.6 is also a very good truck .

What the heck. What car did you those acessories in before. And if you have all that then shoot, go for the savage kit.
Or if you wanna go with somthing a little more versitile i would go with this.

Thanks for the info. I think I will either get the Savage or the Aftershock.
I've acquired the engines and radio gear over five years of r/c. I'm currently using my only FP receiver in my Ofna buggy but I will probably get another one or two.
