I'm looking at buying a nitro truck. I've been looking at HPI's MT and Associated's RC10GT RTR. I own a T3 right now so I know associated is good. Never had a thing break and I tear it up on huge jumps. I've been looking at the MT cause its 4wd.

My question is, which is faster and has better handling. Also which is the better engine. Associated's .15 or HPI's .15? Has anyone owned both of these and could tell me what they liked best?

Also, I'm not into Hop-ups. If anything breaks I will replace with graphite, but thats it. So I want a truck that comes pretty tough from the factory. I don't want to buy more stuff so it can withstand a jump.
