RE: looking at getting nitro mt
For me, I find teh Revo a little easier to work on due to everything being in easy reach. But teh LST is not that hard to work on too, so in reality, they might be just as easy to work on equally.
As for Revo, I think the Revo has more aftermarket hop-ups hands down. I think that is a direct function of the poplarity of Traxxas and Revo trucks, so just about everyone has made hop-up options for teh Revo.
Dont get em wrong, Losi has a very wide selection of hop-ups too, I just think that Revo has a little more.
