I think you will need the reverse. Specially for bashing. You do get reverse as an option for the Savage. No idea how much it costs though. Ive never seen an MGT or the Aftershock run... So I cant offer anything there. Like I said.... The Warhead really impressed me. It has a big block engine, you can lower or raise the ride hieght very effectively, It has reverse, adjustable shift point....

I am sure that what ever you choose you will be very happy.
