Well no one can really say anything about the savage considering it just came out. If its anything like the regular savage then it would be hard to beat.

hilifemt

since you said you were going to race, I'd prolly get the LST2, but that new savy is gonna be a siiiick basher! prolly not the best for racing though

Muggy250r

yeah i no, but i forgot i have a crt.5 i will race, plus my jato so i really dont need another racer, well i dont neeeeeed it for racing..... lol

You can't go wrong with either. The Savage XL seems to be a larger scarier version of an already excellent truck, and the LST2 has definitely earned its respect. We do have a bit of a losi cult here on RCU so you'll get some highly biased opinions though.

Muggy250r

i am a higher losi cult member <-- lol i sold my muggy....that is where im getting my mula from

sheograth

Well, at least you're asking about alternatives

Muggy250r

yeah lol ive had my share of losi gear.... so i figure i can spread some... since my first nitro was a savy 25 rtr.... sold it tho and i want something like it again!

mmduc

well, time will tell. i own a lst 2, and i have the new savage xl on backorder. guess well have to wait till april when the xl gets here, then ill post a full report.

Muggy250r

ok but by april ill have my new truck lol.....are the new savys out yet? or just on the site?

2DMaxLST!!

Can you give me info on the cult I wish to join.

Muggy250r

This is just me but the lst2 is a great rc truck and parts are easy to get. This new truck might be a home run but I would give it 6 months before I would buy it.

Muggy250r

true.... it depends when it comes out and how much money i have

hilifemt

you sold your muggy? how come? I thought you loved that truck!

Muggy250r

i did.... but i got tired of fixing the thing... i still love it, just dont have the time for it...

nitro.rc.racer

you were making such a big deal on youtube how great your muggy was ( no offence or roodness involved) and you sold it. so what truck do you plan on buying now?

nitro.rc.racer

LOL your name even has muggy in it

binaryterror

Then don't buy an LST2 its basically 50% still a Muggy and the suspension/diffs are direct from the LST2. I mean I like both the Muggy and LST2 but if you are breaking the Muggy you will break the LST2 in the same spots easily.

Muggy250r

i love the muggy but, i want something with more ground clearance, and binaryterror im stripping the gears, and tired of having to replace the clutch every gallon... so the lst2 is fine for me.... and the muggy is an awesome basher but i dont go to the same spots anymore and now i just mostly bash at my friends house with like 3 big ramps (so fun) but the muggy is fun there, but i want more of a monster truck, plus i got a crt.5 rtr for christmas so i no longer need the muggy for racing...

Louie2994

why would you drop a .28(4.6) in an xl if its 5.9

2DMaxLST!!

To make it faster and able to race.

IL2mSturmovik

I have a LST2 racer with a LRP Spec 3 that is off teh chart awesome!

Sugafree

Savage XL Got a Lot of Votes Considering it's not even out yet?

bigairlife

LST2 is better in my mind. It's a great racer if you set it up correctly, it is really durable and is be really fast w/ that lrp in it! Plus, the savage still has that same bad tank mounting position, isn't even released yet, and (in my opinion) the body is just plain ugly! lol

Stick w/ losi, 3 out of the 4 rc trucks i own are losi... Thats saying something (i've owned a savage, redcat stuff, traxxas stuff, and i still like losi the best =-] ) But dont listen to me, because i'm totally biased lol (but i did have fun w/ my savage... but it really wasn't cutting it)

PS: I might join the club and sell my muggy too. These gear probs are pis**** me off!!! [:@][:@][:'(]
