Default which MT?

Hi I like the MT's but I'm also new to them. Can you guys tell me what a good beginner MT is for me? Thanks.

Take a look at the Cen Fun Factor MT2. Its inexpensive, durable, and Cen has great customer service and support. The MT2 has a .16 CI engine that crankes out 1.2 HP. Its four wheel drive and has a two speed tranny. Its only problem is the transmitter. You will need to get a failsafe, which is a good idea with any RC or replace the transmitter with another aftermarket system. You can use the stock transmitter, but you may experience a high speed run away. If you have any questions about the Cen MT2 go to www.cenracing.com or let me know.

i agree exept with the radio my stock radio still worx transmitter and all but the antenna lost half its length i replaced the lost length with an antenna from a 1/64 rc at walmart and electrical tape duct tape would be better i use a losi transmitter because it fits my hand better

the engine is reliable and tuff mine has sucked in enuff dirt to kill a trx 2.5 one overheat/runaway and 2 gallons and i still have enuff compression on that piston/sleeve to pick the 7.1lb truck up by its pullstarter no breakage and lots o crashability(the damn thing wont break if its not doin over 20mph unless it lands on its shock towers but they can be rebent and saved)

So do you think that $280 is the lowest you can get for it?

You may be able to find one on ebay cheaper than that. But, I would stay away from used unless you absolutely can not afford anything else. I am still working out problems on the used truck that I bought.

i would go with a savage 25. Lots of power easy to tune and it's very durable.

I also bought my MT2 from ToyHaus.com for $300 including a nitro starter pack and a venom failsafe (which i fell is a must if your going to use the stock radio).
