A lot of people do dislike the Mammoth MT/ST, but look at the T-maxx people too. Some people really think that thing's crap but they still buy it anyway. I have a lot of money into my Mammoth ST and I really don't bash with it because it is for racing purposes or just fooling around without bashing. If you want to bash, then get an MT, the MGT will be a good choice for that just as Inverted said. But if you want something for racing/fooling w/o bashing then I would go with the Mammoth ST because there are custom upgrade options for it. Parts could be labeled scarce, for XTM but I really have no problem with waiting because I can't get to my LHS until the weekend anyway. www.hobbypeople.net would be your best bet for Mammoth stuff. Good luck with choosing, but I would say MGT if you wanna bash/race.
