I think the best all around truck is the monster GT.I haven't heard of anyone yet who's regretted getting one,myself included.I wouldn't trade mine away for anything.

Default Revo

I have to rave about the Revo. It is a great truck. I have had it 4 months ago and have only one complaint the EZ-Start is ok BUT not as good as what I replaced it with which was the Hot Bodies Roto-Start and I am now satisified. NO TRUCK IS INDESTRUCTABLE. Just my two cents. I have broken 2x because of me being daredevilish and with that comes consequences.

O.K...
Monster GT Is great, Wooohoo....
T-Maxx is outa date... Right???
I just took a look at the Monster GT. Apart from the fact they have hopped it up with a lot of alloy, it is the basic same deisgn as the GT. So why are people saying one is Da Bomb, and the other is bombed???
Asside from the trimmings, they are the same Effing truck.

These questions always pop up. It's to be expected, even though the answers are already on the forum.

I'm a Savage fan, so I'd point you in the direction of the new 4.6 - it has all the most useful modifications you need included. And with a .28 engine as standard. C'mon!!!

Revo - nice design and durable.

Lightning Stadium - fast and stable. But remember - this thing isn't a monster truck - it's a truggy.

TNX, MGT, MTA, LST - all decent trucks. Face it - we're all really spoilt for choice.

Good luck.

ofna dominator is consider a truggy.. and it's quite realiable....

everyone got their own preferences... go with your gut feel... choosing your MT...

best to ask those ppl who owns that MT, you're looking for.. let them tell you pros and cons...

frankly i found that sometimes.. ppl don't owed the MT can't gives good comments..

jake22 - race your dominator first, that way you will see what needs to be changed or what you need to get for it to perform the way you want it. You need to get the right tires first as that is almost 75%-80% towards the right setup. Get bowties for qcrccc and jp.

Talking

hehe... bro di ko pa nga nararace yung dominator ko eh, pero nasubukan ko na sa circle.. notice malambot stock spring niya na black.. nabasa ko, kelangan firm at 80wt oil gamitin tsaka sabi din, nid to replace my 2 speed with a cnc center differential instead of using the slipper differential..

miniracer: nasa jp ka ba last sunday? sumali ka ba sa race, nandun kasi ako kaso di pa kita nakikita, kasama ko si kenneth nun..pitman niya..hehe!
