I am just going to re-use this thread instead of making a new one... The LST2 is "roughly" the same as the Revo, and "they" are saying that the Savage XL will blow the Revo away. I was convinced on the LST2, but then I noticed the new XL's. They are about the same exact size, and I like the bigger trucks. Also, in the videos of the XL, it justs seems to float off jumps, and it is like $100 cheaper. What should I get?

IMO, $200 wont cut it to make the Savage race worthy.. I suggest going LST2 or Revo and taking it from there, unless you are completely bent on getting a Savage for racing, get a Revo/LST2... A savage CAN be raceworthy, but its takes a lot of money and time..

I agree totally get a lst2/ or a revo

retardedpenguin

Ok sweet, guess I am gonna have to beg for a little more money ...

So, how well can they compete out of the box?

Deftones123

I have seen both race, and they are both pretty damm quick and have good handling, I would just recommed putting some new tires on the lst2 like some tnx rims and tires for better grip, the stock ones are not very good for gripping and handling

retardedpenguin

Ok guys, I am thinking about getting a used LST2 off ebay, since it is in my range. Is there any parts I should look at in the pics?

Deftones123

I would just get a new one, I believe you can get a new one shipped for like 329.00

rcnitrohead

Nah, a new LST2 is around $550, I forgot the website tho[&o]

retardedpenguin

I think I can get a new one for $450/$500.

Does anyone know what the speed record for a nitro MT is? I feel like having fun lul..

Elite_Tux487

I think the world record for a nitro monster truck is somewhere around 70 mph...

rcnitrohead

lol mine, I swear, after all the Carbon Fiber goodies I just stuck into mine, and my shimmed STS .30 with 2WD, if that baby doesnt hit just under 55mph, I'll be pissed[>:] Then again, I still need to mod my engine, but thats after I get some more practice with my dremel, and I need some more attachments I hope I'll be able to beat all the NYC MT drag racers, there is some fierce comp here in the summer, they race for cash[8D] Oh yeah, I forgot, when the Savage XL comes out, I'll be stealing its gearbox off of ebay and sticking it into my truck with the wide ratio third gear, I cant wait till they start parting it out on ebay!!!![>:][>:]

retardedpenguin

How did he get that thing to 70?... Maybe I can custom make a 6 speed tranny :P

NStampede Freak

I say to get the new revo platinum because it is built for racing. Just my $0.02.

retardedpenguin

So right now, I think i m going with the LST2, but does anyone know about the new Savage XL?

snoking16

i would get the LST2 over any of them. the revo is great and very race worthy but cant bash like a LST2. the savage is too big and top heavy...kinda like a retarted elaphant on crack.

I dont think that its possible to tell since the XL is not out yet. I believe that most of your responses are from people that think you are talking about the X.

No Limit RC

also, dont forget that the Losi LST2 comes with a nicer radio.
