RE: help wanted
I wouldnt get the first one. The savage would be ok. Depends how much money you want to spend as to what you should get. Remember, you will need fuel and glowplugs and replacements for broekn parts on the way. Plus you might eventually want some hop ups. I think it is safe to say that the general reccomend list for MTs is:
Traxxas Revo
HPI Savage
Losi LST2
Cen Nemesis/Genesis
Team associated MGT
Hellfire is more of a racer but its decent
The Tmaxx has tons of aftermarket parts but traxxas is really just milking every last dollar out of it, Its kind of bottom of the line now.
