I sure wish I owned all of those trucks. I only have the Revo, so it must be the best.

The BEST monster truck... define "best" please.

You have to be a real newb fanboy to consider a base Savage X, a Tmaxx, or a MGT to be the BEST MT made. Nice trucks, but unless pricing is a HUGE factor, they don't even belong on the list. The Savage 25 has been discontinued, so why is it here?

The GST? I think the Nemesis would be the better choice to represent CEN on the list. I guess I'm like 90% of the people here though, and I hardly ever even see a CEN, so I don't know too much about them.

actually, it's just over 1.5 on the dyno.. and yes, it is a heck of a monster truck.

edit... there is a dyno database floating around online somewhere, I believe the hp rating was around 1.8.. it is a torque monster though.

blah blah.... blah..

I posted the dyno results and the website they came from a few months back when the 'claimed hp issue' was brought up.... you were one of the nimrods trying to say that the manufactures don't exaggerate their claims.... 'er wait.. you were the only one who said that lol

there is no way 1.5hp will pull a 17lbs truck
umm.... ever thought about where the term 'hp' comes from?? A 'horse' weighs a little bit more than a Genesis and they seem to get around just fine with just '1' horse power..

.. that quote, in it self, speaks loads about you...

lol... i said manufacture exaggerate their # but that doesnt mean the stupid extreme magazine dyno is accurate. For all i know, you can just pay them and they will say whatever you want them to say. LOL

Hot bodies claim 4.8 hp on their truckzilla, Axial claims 1.3hp on their .12 engine, OS claims, PICo claims, Novarossi claims... whats your roblem? I could careless how much hp it puts out. All i care is my truck is dialed and has **** load of power. Thats all i care. I also know for a fact that if you install LST's engine in my truck, it will perform like ****.

No, actually, you said: "So you think every company out there is lying about their products, what reason would they have to lie to us?" and then went on about how the NX-76 really has 5hp blah blah blah....

this is pointless... your posts speak for themselves, note the quote..

I dont think i ever made that statement and I already made my point about the truck vs. engine rating. i am out of here, you can say whatever you want. I am not interested in aruging

More like you have short term memory. Go ahead and do a search. Find where i ever made that statement. Stop accusing people.

"A .32 = 3.5 + horsepower according to almos every r/c engine manuffacture.... so a .46 can produce 5hp ... isnt too much off.... unless of course, the entire r/c industry is lying "

This is all and exactly what i said. IF you ever take a math class, you will be able to figure it out too. All the engine manufacture claims their .12 engine puts out 1.0-1.3hp. .28 engine puts out 2.5-3.0hp. Therefore, a .46 puts out 5.0 hp makes sense. Simply Math. Now, are these numbers true / accurate? i dont know and i dont care. I tend to belive it becuase every r/c engine manufacture including Pico, Novarossi, RB, Axial....etc are claiming alike. Therefore, either its true or all of them have no idea what they are doing because all of their #s are far off from the extreme dyno

Now back to the magazine, You advertise , your product is the best of the world. IF they dont like you, your stuff is ****...

What nitro rc monster truck is best for beginners? I was looking for something that is good at anything from trails to backyard bashing. I also want something that is tough, and can take what ever i throw at it. Also i want something that goes fast and that i can jump. I live near a bunch of dirt bike tracks and offroad tracks so, there are plenty of jumps and trails. also, i want something that doesnt break very often, and will last.
