Default Looking for a new MT

I am going to be buying a new nitro monster truck in a few days. I am still debating what to get.

Here are my top 4 choices:
#1 Savage X
#2 Savage XL
#3Slayer 3.3
#4TMaxx 3.3

I am leaning towards one of the Savages. I had one before and it was tough, fast and did well off road. I am worried the Slayer wont do as well off road. The TMaxx is a last resort. I had one once and wasnt crazy about it at all.

Any suggestions?

Losi LST XXL, then convert it to brushless. Nitro is so 1990.

The Slayer isn't a MT, and honestly, it will spend more time on it's lid than it's tires.

+1, either the losi lst xxl or savage x

The losi comes with a spektrum dx3s radio with telemetry if you dont have a radio already. That alone is $250
