Size: Terra Crusher vs Monster GT
Looks like the Monster GT didn't top the Terra Crusher in size, but it does tell me how big the GT is and DAM! thats another huge 1/8th scale on the market.
Monster GT:
Overall Length: 22 in bumper to bumper
Width: 17.25 in
Height: 10.75 in to top of cab
Wheelbase: 14.5 in
Weight (RTR): 12 pounds
Terra Crusher:
Length 22 inches
width 17-1/3 inches
height 11-1/4 inches
wheel base 14-1/6 inches
fully equipped weight of about 12-1/2 pounds
jus interesting facts I thought I'd point out. I'd throw the Dirt Demon in to the mix, but I can't locate size stats about it.

i have no idea lol I'll get it to fit one way or another though I know somebody with one (my GPM supplier) and he'll lead me through step by step. He said the .26 will fit into it.

ITs all to much for my brain to handle....... all i know is that there both big....
the .25 would be a good choice for the price difference (Im guessing there is)
Also, it made the savage alot faster...... and i mean alot faster!!

Is being the biggest really what's most important? I'm wondering if all this delaying of the release date for the MGT will give AE enough time to make it superior in every area to the others.

I'll stick with the terra crusher.
the sirio isnt a drop in, it costs an extra 80-100$ to get it installed. Thats why I am going to jus get the .21 chassis kit conversion with a nice powerful bigblock.

Comment on bigness...
WE are always tell everyone in hear who is bragging about speed that it is not hwat MTs are for...u wanna go faster buy and on road car.
Finally we have a subject worth all the fuss. BIG is what MT's are about. Thats why i went savage instead of t-maxx. Its about size and brute strength otherwise u are running the wrong type of RC for interest.
I say let the fists fly re: the size argument....at least its within this forums scope.
