Talking I have narrowed it down to these two MT'S!!

1. Losi LST-XXL.
2. Savage X 4.6. I think this one is better than the Savage XL.

Both are fast, built to last, great bashers and racers. I like the Losi more because of the included radio set up versus HPI's radio set up. Granted the Losi is a bit more in price but money well spent as far as I'm concerned.

Please throw your opinions out there for me to help me further in my decision.

Go with the Savage, much better aftermarket support. LST chassis design (IMO) is god awful ugly and looks way to cluttered. Just opinions of course

i would definately take the savage XL over the savage X ANYDAY!
ive smoked many savage X's with my XL..
and in the end if you end up with a savage X...you're gonna want all the upgraded parts that comes stock on the XL

i agree i like the savage as well, but i am thinking of him. it comes with a dsm 2.4ghz radio. it has an awsome engine, alot better then the k5.9 in the xl. so basicly if you want a good truck and you want to spend 250 more on radio fine. but if you want to pay 650 for a good truck and it comes with that radio, not to mention telemetry[dont trust temp, always subtract 30F from it]. go with the losi

better aftermarket. aftermarket make the trucks perform worse. unless u just want somethin that goes up and back til empty or u like bling trucks that sit on the counter.

Stock LST with 20bux and couple hrs in updates will simply outrun any other MT.
