Default Beginner Nitro Monster Truck

I'm looking for a nice solid beginner truck for hill climbing - grass and jumping - nothing too crazy - i'm wanting something good for the $$$ - I really want the savage x f4.6 - but i'm gonna get my fiance her truck first and then save up for mine later - What do you suggest? Revo? t maxx? something else? what engine? etc.

Savage 4.6 , meh smashed mine, diffs, front end, all buggered, and my savage FLUX, ppfftt flix', falls apart and has chewed 5, yes FIVE diffs, dont drive it no more, got a revo.......
Revo owns it offroad, and on a track, why bother with anything below par.....

Get her a good used Stock T-Maxx and a stock engine either the 2.5 or 3.3. This truck can be upgraded in the future for her or you if she doesn't get in to it.
