Well the xtm mammoth has a good price( 369.99$), it does 52mph, the engine holds its tune, its easy to tune, its one of the most powerful stock engines out, and its super reliable. The mammoth is also easy to work on. Its also durable. The only problem with it is the shocktowers. They bend rather easy

Check out the mammoth. 52mph out of the box. The 24.7 engine is very powerful, is easy to tune, holds it well and it is easy to break in. It is also a very durable truck.

you beat me to it. [:@]

No, but that is a good thing. You can't steer with the front wheels in the air. And when you hit a rock with a overpowered truck it will flip and you have to go pick it up.

The Cen MT2 has what you are looking for, but its a 1/10th scale and the savage is a 1/8th. So you will need to decide what scale of truck you want. If you want more info on the MT2 let me know or go to www.cenracing.com.
