Default Who makes the MT that.........

Who makes the MT that can be built with high ground clearance for bashing or low to the ground for racing?
I know I saw some side by side pictures of it somewhere. Now I can't find it.
Thanks for the help.

Yeah, most MT's will do that... they just decided to make it a part of their "advertising scheme"

Yeah, that is what I saw. Soon I must make a decision. Warhead, Revo. Savage, here we go again.
Thanks

LOL.. .just pick one... and stick with it... if you don't like it... get another one... LOL... they all have their following, however I don't think the Warhead's following is as big as either of the other 2, but... *shrug*

My intensions are to race it. There are several guys at my home track racing REVOs and I like'em.
Although, I would much rather get a kit.

Well, if ya want to race it... the Savage would probably be the LAST truck I considered, if I were you... it doesn't make the best racer without some serious upgrades... perhaps the X will change that... we'll have to see..

All these years of racing, I used to be SOOOOOO stupid!!!! I actually used to think that the DRIVER won a race not the truck. But there are just SO many of you guys with just a year or two experience that have so vehemently protested that it's the truck, not the driver, that now I agree: ANY newb, with no experience whatsoever, can take a Revo into the next RC Pro Series event and TQ!!! Damn, all those hours and hours and hours wasted in practice with a multitude of trucks and cars, just to TRY and better my skills. *sigh*

considering the fact that most people are running revo's, that may be the right choice for you if racing is going to be something new. there will be plenty of users for the same truck that can help you get it setup for your track, unlike running something nobody else has, you'll have to find what works on your own. on a side note, i always prefer to be different than the crowd and would probably shoot for the nemisis, just make sure you can run in the class offered at your track.

LST racer, I was going to say, but I ran out of time, that the racer is 90 percent of the reason why a car wins, but a better car makes life easier for the racer. A revo will easily outhandle a Nemesis in the hands of the same driver, since it is so much smaller, and more nimble.

I don't need to read your lectures, I already have learned this long ago

LST all the way, you wouldn't need to get that many hop-ups to make it a REALLY REALLY good truck. it is my fav. my dad has a revo, the lst outperforms it by a long shot.

You have to give credit where credit is due.....Out of the box, the LST2 is the better performer until you get on a small tight track like the one behind my LHS. That's Revo territory. The Revo has more ultimate potential cosidering the hopups available for racing. A healthy big block engine is mean in an LST, but it's just plain evil in a little Revo. Tons and tons and tons of off the shelf racing upgrades are available for the Revo.

In any other comparison, I'd recommend the LST or the Savage, but the Revo is the EASIER racer.

Definatly steer clear of the savage for racing. I'd either get a revo or an LST2 if you can afford it. With the revo you do have more aftermarket support. Also, since it's so popular at the track, you can get other people to help you with it like someone else said. You can also get an O.S. .18 TZ or TM and still race in a small block class.

IMO the LST2, Nemesis, and REVO are all equal. It just depends on your style and needs. LST2 and nemesis are big and powerful, revo has less power but more agility.
You will be happy with any of these. From warhead owners ive heard like 70% bad so I dunno if i would go with it

Default RE: Who makes the MT that.........

Bashing OR racing... you will need parts support... IMO... the parts support goes in this order:

1. Revo - Almost ALL LHS's will stock Traxxas Revo parts...
2. LST2 - Since it's so new, it will be tougher to get aftermarket parts (i.e. RPM Arms)... some parts are interchangable with the LST, but some aren't...without mods, that is...
3. Nemesis - CEN parts are sometimes hard to come by... I know my LHS's don't stock 'em... but if yours does... SWEET!

LSTRacerX is right, though... the BEST truck in the world can't compensate for a crappy driver... LOL

HAHA that is a joke, right... Despite the driver's skill, a revo will never keep up with Nemesis on the straight and jumps unless it has a insane racing motor.. but then you have to worry about keep the revo in 1 piece Revo does have advantage around the corners so i wont argue about that
