However, being in Indiana, I'm going to lose the good weather soon. I've got a big basement, and I'm building a pretty killer (in my opinion) micro track to keep me occupied over the winter. I'll definetly post some pictures after I get everything built =)
My questions, however... I like the MGT 3.0, and I got a great deal on it, but I'd like to pick something up over the winter. The track close to my house, as well as the track I'm building in my back yard is pretty rough. I'm FAR from a racer. Strictly a BASHER! I want a nitro truck for sure, but what do you guys recommend? I've heard Savage stuff is awesome, but they sometimes have issues with it not picking up all the fuel from the tank? I've heard the Revo and T-Maxxx stuff can be a little weak as far as bashing... What do you gues recommend?
Also, what do you guys do during the winter when you don't have good weather?
Thanks!!!!!
Welcome! I'm from Indiana myself, and I remember the Blizzard from the early 90's that took out all the power for over a week!
Anyways, As Nue said, the LST2/XXL are GREAT vehicles, I haven't owned one personally but would in a heartbeat if I found a good deal.
BUT I'm me, and everybody aroud the MT forums have come to find out, I'm a BIG Savage pusher, I've owned Revos, E/T Maxxes (Emaxx is my fav vehicle btw), Savages, Ofnas, Terra Crusher, TNX, then tons of other vehicles.
I would stay far far away from the Revos personally, and the Tmaxxes if you can since you have basically the same thing on your MGT 3.0.
The Savages DO unfortunately have that issue, but it's an 11$ fix with the Ofna Hyper 7 tank that is a direct replacement and can be mounted on the side, or you can do what most of us dedicated Savage owners do and do a mid tank mount/rear throttle setup. It's super easy and super cheap to do, and one of the top 5 mods I'd recommend.
I'm sure Sam might come in here also with his Savage, as we have the two top builds you can do with them (his being better than mine
).
Anyways yah, As Nue said, check out the LST2/XXL and the Savages more thoroughly.
