If I had to pick a basher right now and I was not new to RC....I would by all means get the CEN Genesis LE. It's Big, Tough, Powerful, Has reverse, 3 speed tranny with all metal gears, CVD's all around, 6 Gear diffs, .46 engine, Airtronics MX3 Radio.... the list goes on and on.....Great Ride!!!! But no parts support in most LHS's....But who cares online is cheeper and way and I don't hardly break ANYTHING besides a 1st pinion gear or upper suspension arm. both pretty cheap.

If I was going to wait a few weeks, or a month or so...I would look hard at the LST2. It's around the same price as the Genny and has a great spec sheet. But this truck is not proven yet because it's not out....and IMO the original LST sucks.

But I am sure all of these guys will agree on one thing. For the most part, there all good trucks. The savage is tough as nails...I had one...it was ok....But I like my genesis better. The MGT 4.6 looks cool and for 369$ shipped from ultimatehobbies.com it's a killer deal.....

if only I had enough time and money to try them all..............
