The Aftershock/MegaBaja/Raminator are all built on the same platform and don't have reverse. I think the Ram has a better radio than the other two and the MB comes with a spin start also. The Shock has the plate to adapt to spin start. Aside from that, all 3 are the same running gear with different bodies. Oops, the Ram has different wheels/tires than the other 2. All are great trucks. They can be upgraded to LST2 specs but if you got the bucks, go for the LST2, it's got it all.
