You should stay away from the T-maxx right now because of a lot of engine troubles. Maybe a Ofna or Savage would be better at this point?? I have 2 of the older Maxx's and that engine (TRX Pro .15) worked great but, I have since upgraded them to .21's. But, it's up to you. Both truck's are good to start out with but, with the trouble that a lot of people are having with the engine I would think about it first!
