Default Which is the best?

I know these aren't all MT's but I'm looking for the best truck to buy for just bashin. No racing. I want fast and durable. Any alternative suggestions are good too.

Savage, no question about it. LST has weak A-arms and turnbucles. Savage is indstructable. I'd stongly suggest the Savage SS 4.6. That is not just because I have one, that is my honest opinion. Revo or TNX for racing, Savage for bashing, LST for a bit of both.

Thanks

You will later find out that Traxxas is not the bestoffer out there. So I would tell you to look at the HPI Savage 25 or 4.6.

SAVAGE 25 or 4.6

Savages are the best bashers. LST's are in the middle of racing and bashing. I don't know why someone would say a lst is the best basher because savages are more durable.

LST
LST over a Savage for bashing?
Ignorance really is rife on these boards lol.

Any Savage will do the bashing job just fine mate.
But....If you may race in the future, and want some serious power aswell, go for the Savage SS 4.6 kit.

No one denied the LST as being able to bash.
But the savage is the 'better' basher, as in, more durable, as in, the better choice.
So it's just strange that your first was the LST.
For racing i wouldnt disagree, the LST would rape a Savage. Perhaps not the 4.6 though.
But i guess at the end of the day it's the skill of the driver, and lady luck.

Default RE: Which is the best?

if it depends on the driver is it correct for me to think that, if the savage is the stronger truck, the savage is meant for bad drivers?

if ur a good driver u dont need all that extra durabiliy [&:] IMHO.

True but it helps when you're pushing beyond your limits.

Savage all the way!

Savage or MGT gets my vote. Both are rock solid and fast. Drop in the FOC on the MGT and watch the acceleration improve. A new pipe also ads on a couple MPH.

TNX,MGT, or Savage. TNX is the quickest and fastest. MGT is good all around but does need a little more power, Savage one of the best jumpers. Reliability wise Savage and TNX at the top, with the MGT a close 2nd.

Personally I like the TNX.

Wow, I think it's amazing that the Revo has most of the votes right now (78%) and yet everyone is saying SAVAGE... hmmm... I know Savage isn't on the list... but still. The Revo and the Savage are equals either way.... racing or bashing.... I bash my Revo... and it's practically indestructable.... I've heard other people racing the Revo, and it dominates the track... so, I think the Revo would be the best choice of what is there, however I do say that Savage SS 4.6 and the Revo are pretty equal... (of course you can put a bigger engine on the Revo and RIP the Savage apart)

Savage for bashing. Those things are nuts. [:-]

MGT for all around..doesnt take much to race it and it doesnt take much to bash it. Also its easier to work on.
