If the only thing you have ever driven before is four wheel drive,then expect the firestorm to be somewhat difficult for you to handle.If you get the firestorm you will often find yourself raising the bar more and more,which is pretty much the same for all HPI trucks,the mt2 is no exception.However,if you want a truck that has a lot of hop-ups avalible,then you probably will want to get the mt2.If you are planning on raceing as well as bashing,then the firestorm's stability and speed pretty much talks for itself.You can't go wrong buying HPI trucks,as they are made with extreme durability!
