Arrma Outcast is hands down my favorite truck. ARRMA is the best bang for the buck in any RTR on the market right now.

Of course that is totally subjective and is completely my opinion, but that truck is what really got me into 4x4 1/8 MT's as it was BIG and took serious abuse. I still have mine, and now another that I run on the occasion. I've played with most of the 1/8 nitro MT's and none of them were really as exciting to play with as the Mammoth was. Electric trucks are great but the lack of sound, smell, tuning headache, they're just not interesting to me. If someone came along and made a big 1/8 nitro MT with a big block engine, 2 speed trans, and huge everything then I would probably buy it.
Currently the 'toughest' truck I have is a Revo, aside from the Mammoth, but it's not nearly as fun as the Mammoth is- again, totally my opinion.

I raced against a factory guy who raced the mammoth. I forget his name but he drove the heck out of those things

Fun thread idea! I would say the best selling RC monster truck of all time would be the T-Maxx, without a doubt. The E-Maxx is probably next in line for sales, especially now that electric has taken over in popularity. Back in the nitro MT heyday, I had almost every one of them: LST, T-Maxx, Revo, MGT, GST, Savage. My favorite was easily the LST lineup.
Nowadays it seems large-tired truggys are outselling MT style platforms. Outcast, Kraton, MT410, Pro MT 4x4, MT4G3, etc are all much easier to work on and handle better than trucks like the E Revo, LST 3XLe, Colossus/Reeper, Savage Flux, etc.
I like both styles of MTs for different reasons. I also really dig solid axle MTs. So I guess you could say I like all three types: solid axle, high COG (TVP, or multi-level chassis), and flat pan truggy-style. They each have their own unique driving characteristics, IMO.
I think right now, the Arrma Kraton is my pick for all around fun basher truck. Is it really an MT? - Well, close enough for me. One thing's for sure: They are fast, tough, and a blast to drive no matter what RC category they fall into. That's my $.02
