I would get the Savage out of those. It'd be something bigger, tougher, and faster than what you already have. The WOW!!! thrill factor would be much higher than with any of your other RC's or the other two on your list..

If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly...

IMO...

ok im leaning towards too the savaged now just gonna see how much the nitro prices is first at my lhs.. lol


also i just seen this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXXSS8&P=ML looks pretty good and herd good things about it too back than.

but how good is it compared too the savaged? or is the savaged still better?

too me it doesn't look stronger than the savaged but what do i know about them lol..



edit also i just seen and herd the savaged doesn't come with reverse?

not sure if that would be for me sense i kinda hated the fact my t maxx and tower terror didn't have it either and sometimes i kinda miss it lol


another edit lol just saw this beast... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTJR1&P=ML this is what i might get


how does the savaged compare too that? and maybe hpi didn't put a reverse in for a reason do they go bad alot? i wouldn't know because i never had a gas one with reverse.

MGT's are good trucks too.. Maybe more tuning options with the Savage, but the MGT is a good backyard basher no doubt.. The Savage will probably be faster.. - but can't swear to that..

here's another vote for the savage. and if you want reverse, you can buy it and add it yourself. but you will also need to buy a servo for it to

hows the parts availability on the mgts? are they really known? im gonna give my lhs a call today because i wanted too ask how much are the fuel prices now gonna see if they carry any mgt parts too.


so i guess that would say which one i would get sense i like too get the parts if something breaks local instead of online much faster that way.


i know they sell hpi parts sense they said they carry traxxes hpi and team losi but i never ask them about mgt.


ya its gonna be pretty much a basher and don't really care much for speed just would like strong and powerful.



also about the hpi monster king how strong is that or wouldn't you recommend it? i know the engine isint that powerful but would it take alot of beaten?

From that list, Savage wins, hands down.

the savage is a better  and MUCH more durable than the others. i looked at the mgt 3.0 and found that the tranny is plastic gears. not sure about the 4.6. and also if your lhs sells hpi parts that is one of the most deciding factors in buying a truck. for me, i would spend the extra $10 for the savage.
hope this helps
