ok im looking to get a 1/8 monster truck and im having a problem with deciding which one to get i have three choice's and all three are nice just thought i would get your opinion on it ....well im looking at the redcat avalanche or the new hpi savage XL5.9 or the cen GST 7.7, i like them all and just cant decide i would like a monster truck that is fast but also needs to be tough as for i like to jump stuff and i dont plan on being to easy on it lol so any info would help and thank you for your time and knowlege.
PS.please give me your honest opinion and dont just say get the redcat just because you feel you need to be loyal to redcat i love redcat just as much as the next person but lets be truthful there is other nice rc's out there also i just want to get the best one for what im looking for and hey if you guys think it is the redcat then thats great also it will save money and ill still have what i was looking for but money is not the issue here so dont let that be a factor in your opinion thank you much for your help......
Finally got my 1/8 monster truck, sorta. I put in for a bid on Ebay last week and this is what I won:[link]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&i tem=160220563737&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI[/link]
I was leaning toward the Savage X 4.6(for the looks) or Avalance(for the price), but I figured I'll bid kinda low($250) on this Warhead and if I win it'd be a great buy and if I don't no big deal. I won it for $202....woohoo! What I really like about this truck is that you can adjust the suspension from 1.5" to 3.75" of ground clearance. Now with the money I saved, I'm gonna get a bunch of aluminum bling parts for it. Can't wait for that UPS truck to pull up!
BTW, I was at a LHS and I was talking to one of the guys that work there. He said that the Associated Monster GT 8.0 is the toughest truck he has ever owned and he has owned a lot of them. Yes, the store sold AE, but they also carry a full line for Losi, Traxxas, HPI, Kyosho, Tamiya.
