Zya, I own both the Genesis LE and Nemesis 7.7 Niether of these trucks are considered entry level, so unless you have some mechanical ability. you will have some disappointing days, but and this is a huge but,,once you have it broke in and tuned you will be amazed as well as scared of the awsome power of the NX76 engine. I do not own any of the other trucks,,savage, revo ect...but I have run with those trucks,,They always seem so much smaller as well as not quite so explosively powerful. As wth any rc monster truck or any other rc vehicle there will maintenence and parts repair but I have not had to replace to many parts except when I hit a block wall at full speed.

Good Luck With Whatever you choose!!
