From the other two, both are good, though the Losi would be better IMO. The MGT might need some shock-part upgrades, from what I hear. The Losi is notoriously strong and fast. IF you plan to get big air, I would try to find a New Era roll-bar to firm up the chassis.. Re Losi parts support, that's kind of up in the air. I have two LST2's, and a fair bit of parts, but it seems to me parts are still out there, and will be for a while. For all we know Losi will rerelease some form of LST at the Nürnberg toy fair next month.. But yeah, there's some uncertainty there. Nevertheless, if I were in the market for a new MT, being honest, yeah I guess it'd be kind of hard.. I'd probably be looking at a Savage too..
When in doubt, go with your gut..
well for the savage i was talking to the guy at my lhs other day and he was telling me the savage was a pain to work on he said just to change a spur gear the motor had to come off! Im not really wanting to spend 3 hours just to change a gear. now with the others i know i may have to wait three days to get parts after ordering but after waiting that long to recieve them i dont want to spend half the day putting them on.
