here is my $ .02
the t 4 and the gt 2 are great trucks !!!!!!!!! so is the b4 and the b44[4wd] buggies!!!!!
what to buy is very much up to what you want to do with the truck !and maybe even more so ,where are you going to
run the truck. monster trucks,ei savage, revo, mgt, and many more, are good for backyards and rough terrain .
stadium trucks and corr trucks like the gt2 ,slayer,and several others are good for more manicured terrain .
as far as which way the hobby is going ? it still seems to have a pretty good following in BOTH electric and
nitro,with the electric side of things they have brushless motors, and lipo batteries that will rival run times and
torque of any nitro engines .they have thier set backs to though , lipo batteries are dangerous somewhat and kind of
pricey too. brushless set ups can be costly too.
so i say you need to ask your self what do i want? nitro that can be messy, and fussy at times
or electric which can get to be very expensive and somewhat dangerous?
hope that helps !!!!!!!
