i just read something that made a big difference in my decision. i snagged an rc car magazine yesterday and was reading it earlier. in it was a sportmaxx review. it looks hella fun. i think after reading some of that i will get it instead. start with a sport and upgrade it to 2spd then 4wd if i want it. plus the MTs can go about anywhere, that means i will have a new method of getting weinerdog off the porch to take a p!ss and 40mph with the 2spd for a monster truck is pretty good right? i could probably get different gears also i think... maybe top out at 30 in first and 55 in 2nd.... mmm speed AND offroad eh, i could always run over all of you on road people
