MT2 is pretty decent
its easy to work on and repair
its also easily modifiable, and has pretty decent handling
I personally like 4wd's over 2wds mostly due to running in grass, and other varied terrain 2wds won't cut it in. My nephews 2wd's struggle where my 4wd's go flying
BTW do not expect the MT2 or firestorm to be able to take the abuse a savage can, You will be disappointed if you do (but a MT2 can take a fair bit of abuse)
Other good truck I own is a Jammin .5 CRT its a 1/12th scale truggy only issue is if a part breaks its not that popular so parts are not the easiest thing to get. Its about 3.5 inches smaller than a MT2
