Well. So far, it is the T-Maxx, Savage 21 and Terra Crusher I would like to have... Need to narrow it down more... HELP! :p Well, I also like the Mad Force... but seems expensive for what it is... ....
Thanks

I REALLY like the way the Savage looks. HPI's parts availability problems put a bit of a damper on it. If your shops regularly stocks HPI stuff, go for it.
After that, the Terra Crusher looks excellent, as all Tamiya's do. It is the biggest, has a good engine and chassis.
The T-Maxx is still a good truck, and the new one looks great, but there are thousands around. Do you really want to do what everybody else does?

T-Maxx, Tera Crusher, Savage 21
They are all "Maxxes". Different manufacters, same end result.
The New T-Maxx 2.5 looks to be very cool, but still a "Maxx"
Its up to you really. My Mad Force handles ALMOST as well as my E-maxx does. Kyosho really did a good job with it. And you'd be different from all the "Maxx" trucks out there.

That is true, they are all Monster trucks that you can modify and such, But I really like those 3 :P Kinda stuck here. The biggest one seems to be the Terra crusher... Anyways Will do some more research and such
Thanks:p

Geof, no. A new engine, which propels it past 40 MPH and wheelies, a new, wider suspension with more adjustability, new, thicker driveshafts, new thicker turnbuckles, a new thicker chassis, a new EZ-Start and a new body. And, for how much more cash than the old T-Maxx? Ten bucks. So, faster, better handling, stronger and all around better performing for ten bucks. That isn't just anew engine and a pipe.
All of the new trucks are great (Savage, T-Maxx and MGT). When they are all released, unless they have some manufacturing flaws, you aren't going to be able to go wrong with any of them.
The Terra Crusher, while it was a good truck before the new wave of trucks, is now inferior. Less power is the problem.
