for monster trucks don't get the losi xxl period!!!!!. there are junk (nothing more than left over parts from the aftershock which is leftover parts from the lst1). if you get a losi get the lst2 and no other. the strongest,most powerful,best handling m/t out there. i'm talking out of the box they are the best.
for truggys i'd say yes to the hotbodies d8t.
