The Mammoth is super tough and so is the Savage. If you're into jumping though the Savage is a better choice although the Mammoth is no slouch.

volcom_08

Thanx mxracer i wont' be doing very big juumps just lots of offroading

Mxracer45

I was talking to cj100 but i guess i am referring to you to If your doing alot of offroading the mammoth is perfect for you. U wont even have to worry about the shocktowers and as u can see http://media.hobbypeople.net/video/2003mammothweb.rm the mammoth can do big jumps and CAN TAKE THEM WITH EASE obviusly from the stock mammoth in the vid. Good luck!

Where are the after market parts at for the mammoth?I have never seen any after market parts for it if this is true I may look into getting a mammoth.

Mxracer45

THere are many. THere are 5mm upgradeable shocktowers, carbon fiber shock towers, carbon fiber radio trays,different types of chassis braces, Crazy nut allumium a-arms, anodized alumium inner arms, anodized allumium upper arms and other things like that.

Nobody has really said anything bad about the savage. Only good things about the Mammoth.

Mxracer45

The savage is a great truck also. Its just not all that fast (pretty good though) and it is very hard to work on. ALso its not as near as good as handler as mammoth.

what, no! you gotta get a traxxas revo

I just bought a MGT and I enjoy the hellout of it , but after seeing the vid of the mammoth and seeing how tuff it is[X(] I might have to go buy another truck[8D] I personally think the MGT is fast enough to enjoy and control

first, i think its hilarious that people are endorsing the revo already, and no one owns one. second, xtm is awesome. i have an x factor. however, the biggest problem with them, and why i am selling mine is that the lhs doesnt carry parts for it, and 90% of them dont....the reason? global hobby requires a 1000 dollar a month order and 1000 dollar memberhsip fee to sell their stuff. so that said, many small shops dont do 1000 in traxxas much less xtm. so bottom line, if the lhs has xtm parts, go for it. if not, get a savage, a great basher. way tougher than a rustler.

volcom_08

Yeah i just checked to see if my lhs carries xtm and sorry to hear it doesn't

volcom_08

I've always been an associated fan and the monster gt looks awesome!! the only thing i didn't like was the slow top speed 32mph is a little too slow. drop a bigger engine in there and i would be sold!!

Mxracer45

So ur not getting the mammoth just because lhs doesnt carry parts? My lhs dont carry parfts for xtm.Didnt mean i didnt buy it, Quality trucks man

volcom_08

i dont' know maybe ill wait a while before i get a truck. And look around at opinions and do some research.

What part of houston are you in? If we get enough buyers for the MGT our LHS will start stocking parts for it We just need a few more buyers[8D]
