Default Help Needed

Two of my freinds want to buy a truck but they want 4wd. I got the NMT-2 and it kicks *****! but i am not going let them buy that. It's my baby and no one copys me. They were looking at the Genesis for some time now and from the reviews i read it really sucks. So does any one have some good ideas? they don't want a savage after 20 straight days of convincing them to they still won't It's too expensive they say. So are there any good monster trucks that are not that expensive but are around the 40mph+ range?

For the speed you want, and the price range, id say a maxx, or a TNX.

The CEN MT-2 is insane!!!! This truck is like 270$ it does 45+ and is insanely durable! Better power to weight ratio than any MT out there and is a really good jumper. I have it and I wont trade it for the world. Way better in everything than the t-maxx and is better than the savage in everything sept durabilty. This truck kicks!

And belive me. I never buy a truck from just looking at it. I tried the T-maxx (no plasic parts and a .21 engine), the savage .25, owned a savage 21 (my CEN MT-2 is way better) the mad force (sux!) and the new revo (tried it way after i got my truck). Let me tell you then CEN MT-2 runs proud against those trucks.

To be honest, I thought the CEN MT-2 was a piece of crap.Then my friend \got me to try it and I couldnt belive my eyes! With the exception of the radio, the truck is just about *PERFECT* stock...

it goes 80mph and is very durable. seriosly why does everyone care about top speed it's a monster truck not a touring, it goes at least 40mph so youre friend can do speed passes up and down the street, and by the way its the Tamiya Nitro X or TNX not TNX Nitro X

the reason why they care is because 40MPH is getting kind of boring for them. and where did thnx come from?

Then they should get some touring cars to make your MT2 look like it's sitting still. If speed is what they want then they're looking at the wrong class.
