The MGT is obviously not a racer. It's a big truck, and acts like one, big deal.

Cool savage you have there, I noticed you have removed 4 shocks, has this improved the handling at all? What other mods have you done?

Yes, the air filter is dirty...that's what happens when a truck gets used
The truck handles GREAT. The truck handled great when it had HPI red springs and 25wt oil in the stock shocks, too. A Savage is only a set of springs and some shock oil from being a good handler in stock form.

RE: The Ultimate Pit Basher?
Yea my bad. I posted a rant against the Savage guy on the first page then decided it wasn't worth it/I don't care that much/there were three more pages and it would make no sense now lol. There should be a delete post button. I'm glad you liked it so much though Thunderbird. It means a lot coming from someone with over 12000 posts

There is no logical rant against the Savage.
But ThunderbirdJunkie totally agrees about the delete post button.

RE: The Ultimate Pit Basher?
Just get a REVO man traxxas customer service is amazing. They replace parts they probably shouldnt. And they have a decent radio. The LST is a true monster truck. The REVO is more a race truck, but very durable. i hit a curb with mine. it was my fault didnt see the curb under the snow...LOL the only thing that happened was a cracked hex. Thats when they were plastic now traxxas uses aluminum.

RE: The Ultimate Pit Basher?
This is the reason you should get a Savage, a small taste of what I do to my truck:
Yes, it did break. After I hit a rock square with the A-arm going 40...
Tom.
