hello everybody in the dirty end of the forums

Right then, I am really a touring car kinda guy but I have been thinking about getting a MT for a little while now, Basically there are more places to run one and the weather over here in the UK isn't alway ideal for on road action.

to the point of the post: I'm sure this has been asked about a million times but which Damn truck do i go out and buy? it seems like there are more than a few choices! i will only really be using it for bashing(the place i will go to mostly has lots of very steep banks, a few big jumps and lots and LOTS of mud). After careful studying of reviews and reading of these forums i have narrowed it down a bit, the nominations are in no particular order:

1) Traxxas Revo (£449 or $817)
2) XTM Mammoth rtr (£329 or $599)
3) HPI Savage 21 rtr (£375 or $682)


as you can see the revo is quite a bit more expensive than the other two and value for money is very important to me, so based on the information i have provided what are your opinions? i think i have a favorite in my mind but id like to back that up a little with some knowledgeable opinions before i take the plunge

Thanks for all your input in advance
