I REALLY wasn't in the market for a MT. But after about as much reasearch as I could handle into every excuse I could muster, it became apparent that for where and how I planned to do 90% of my driving, it was going to be the smartest choice (as a performer, anyway).

So after much consideration, I have ordered a Savage (found one in stock online for $399). I hope to replace the body soon with a nice excursion or suburban to try to make myself feel better about it (ha).

This almost felt like a confession

So you sold out?

Just kidding. I've been toying with the idea of adding an MT or two to my stable.

I really want the Monster GT.. nuff said

I'm gonna wait till it comes out to do my evaluation.

Chances are I'll devise some kind of equation to figure out the worthiness of a given RC car..lol

Polobear......Congrats on your new MT. You won't regret it!


Now...go bare your soul and ask for forgiveness.

what you mean kidding? he sold out when he bought a savage

Yeah, I guess I joined the 'dark side'. I like the looks of the STs and buggies a lot more than the looks of most MTs (I'm not a big fan of super high profile tires, for one, so I think some 40-series wheels will be in my future), but I'm too old to not be practical.

Ah, well, I figure they'll all be fun!

Is that a 1/8 or 1/10 scale MT?

1/8 scale, w/ a .21BB stock. Several of the newer engines (like the 8port and 24.7) are bolt-in replacements, which was the biggest single influencing factor in my decision (buying a t-maxx to spend another 400 hopping it up to take a .21 wasn't a good plan in my eyes).

It is a big sucker, but from everything I've read, a great handling truck. We'll see, I hope so!

yah its bigger but also slower, but hey, if i get a MT, size is gonna make my decision, not brand or speed. If I can afford a Titan thats what im gonna get
