hello, way to be careful on what MT to buy. personally i have a lst2 and its relly great. i like the revo 3.3 and plan on getting one someday. the savage x 4.6 is awesome too. out of the 3 id probally go w/ the lst2 ,cause for one its losi others reasons are, it has reverse(comes in handy when your bashing), lots of hop-ups and most online hobby stores carry lst2 hop-up/parts. 3 it has the greatest set up that i know of when comparing MT's, and a great jr radio. the revos. good in many ways too, awesome shock/suspention system, heard there not tempermental when tuning, and they look cool. the savage x 4.6(i personally would only get a x 4.6 not a xl or x ss) great frame and chassis, ive heard the savaeges are the all around tuffest MT, good looks too. i dont know what radio it comes w/ , but id check into that. well all in all i think id go w/ the lst2(which i did)if i was buying my first MT. one last thing. you ever heard of the losi lstxxl. look it up. its basically just a bigger lst2. great everything w/ that truck. it comes w/ a dx3s radio too, so you get the telematry. well good luck, clay unruh
