Even after reading 35+ pages on this post and multiple others I am torn between this and the m12rs.... since the price difference is only $70ish at max it's a tough choice.... I haven't held either in my hand but from what I hear the mt44 is great in most hands. I'm upgrading from a futaba 3pv, and I race 4wd sct, 13.5 4wd buggy, and nitro buggy... so both the mt44 and m12rs should be amazing choices. I've heard a few people comment on the mt44 feeling cheap, but not too many. seeing that the mt44 is $300ish and $370ish for m12rs I don't see any reason to spring for the m12s or m17...

why is life so hard to make choices? ><

planning on purchasing in April, so I have more time to research still though. I've been watching YouTube like crazy.
