Like I said before the guys in your region must not be all that..
But if you were using a truggy I bet you would be #1,With that said A truggy is inherently stronger than any MT made.Also if the Revo is better than the Truggys why are they NOT winning in Ca. in the unlimited class,The Revo's are hella nice,But the Truggys have a huge advantage in just the design,No trannys,I can change front to rear brake balance,You can also change how the diffs hook up,If your just going by a few "home made" truggys your not looking at the whole picture.This is my last post on this.Everyone is entitled to their own opinions,I just try to back mine up,Instead of just saying "They suck",..BTW, I dont break mine..

it's ok bro.. we have our own opinion..for me, driving skill is the major factor and not just having a good mt or truggy with all the possible hop-ups but not capable of driving it well.. the end, practice is important and know the capabilities of your truggy or mt..
i guess, i should try a monster truck and compare it to my dominator...

Yeah, it's always dodgy ground to tread on - x is faster than y etc.
Basically, from all the trucks I've driven and raced against, big block powered Trucks have extra punch. For bashing, this means good jumping and wheelies. For racing, it means getting from A to B quicker. Tmaxxs with big block conversions really fly, same goes for the Revo - only lets face it - the Revo is a far more durable machine than the Tmaxx could ever be. The Revo is much lighter than it's rivals.
The Savage requires numerous minor modifications for racing, but the new 4.6 SS contains most of the essentials in the kit - plus a decent .28 size engine with good torque and good top end.
Watch them race, see how they perform on the track, take jumps, land, crash & tumble. You'll soon make up your mind what truck is for you.
The Savage did it for me because I liked the plush suspension, solid construction and compatibility with all current big block engines.
The variety of trucks, plus the radical differences in their designs makes it one of the most interesting classes to race in IMO.

yup, i agree with you bro... in our track, we have a engine size limit to .21 engine size and below only.... i agree with you bro that revo is a great monster truck, the same as the savage.. it just depends on what characteristic you like with it jz like choosing your own real car or truck...

It just depends what you want to do.
They all have their good sides and downsides.
I have a HPI Savage, but after testdriving the GT, Revo and Losi LST, I want the Losi LST, it is really nice.

Did the truck perform better? The tires are pretty big so I thought it wouldn't perform as good. I do love the big shocks, and the new factor. Kick down with a review.

ok did a few things to my dom:-
- extra brace in the midde, if you look closer, so it will handle more direct impact...
- sanwa servo 13kg ones.. must have for the steering and braking power
-kyosho harder springs...(white)
-polished tuned pipe
-8 port engine
-stock wheels with bowide tyres are better for racing.. But I fitted with monster pirate's MP.. for the looks..
-CNC are all for looks, and I've the bulk head..etc all new
-traxxas tmaxx silicon tube for the exhaust.. use it as the air filter.
just added not in the pic
- rear disc brakes, so to make it more braking power..
