I agree with Crazy. I will also add that I have owned a Savage 21 and own a GST now as well as other MT's, basicly the previous savage was/is better then this new one in my eyes mainly because of the "wheel extensions" on it. They seem to be its weakest link.

Also keep in mind that speed isn't necessarily a good thing. Because if your just getting into this it will be harder for you to control a 16lb truck going 40 than a 16lb truck going 20. Get my point? I'm not saying don't get the GST or the Savage because its fast. I'm saying it takes more attention and caution to drive a large truck at that speed.

I love my GST and always will. I have yet to break a part on it. And for all you people that say "oh thats because you don't bash hard enough" that is simply untrue. This IS the most durable truck/car/truggy/heli/whatever I have owned.
Get what you like but I can most deffenitly say you will have more fun/break less parts with the GST.

Hope this helped,
Aaron
