RE: what truck to get
I see that everyone is cracking on the T-Maxx and if you look at the T-Maxx specs its all based on the revo, they have taken revo parts and added them to the T-Maxx 3.3 so how can it be worse then the revo now ?

RE: what truck to get
The MGT 8.0 is tough and fast. I have a t-maxx powered by a picco .26 maxx a warhead and a tower terror and my MGT 8.0 takes a beating and out performs the others. The MGT 8.0 has done cart wheels down the street and landed huge air with wheels up and kept going. I've broke the rear bumper and thats all.
