Its kinda annoying seeing all of these "which truck is better post"
Ok, post what you think are the pros or cons of monster trucks. this is meant to help people decide what truck to get. I'll start
T-Maxx- Pros: Huge after market support
40+ out of the box
Cons: needs a conservation kit for a .21 engine
dont slow down

T-Maxx/E-Maxx:
cons: everyone and their brother has one/hard to be original
pros: good truck, strong, lots of goodies for them

Of course my Kyosho QRC Ram, its 2WD recently cause i shaved dogbone, and i cant run it now, cause my geat muffler broke off the screw, and i cant screw it back, so now its investment time!! :D ROTFL

Dominator:
Pro's: Durable drivetrain, Easy to work on, Accepts any motor, beats any other MT on the track
Cons: Shock towers could be a bit stronger (Solved by doubling up the tower), THOROUGHLY Loc-Tite everything
Reason I think its the best? Cause I own one and its one bad @&& truck. Only upgrades I have put into it so far is a better radio (FM is the only way to go) and a new motor (RB S7) and pipe (Ofna 1 piece).

the ofna trucks dont have nearly as much ground clearance as the maxx trucks. they are just 1/8 scale buggys with bigger tires and a truck body. sure they might be faster, but it wont go nearly as far as a maxx could.
Kyosho madforce.21 / Mad armour.
Pro's:
Straight axle suspension,Can wheelie all day,unique ladder frame chassis,Fastest stock monster truck (43 mph),And best of all it looks really cool.
con's:limited suspension movment.bumpy and unstable platform.:D

I don't know anything first hand as mine isn't here yet. I was 100% sold on a T-maxx because it was the best all around truck based on what I had read, but after reading from ALOT of T-maxx owners I decided on a savage. I'm hopeing it will prove more durable. The fact that it's slower out of the box probably will work to my advantage (first truck) less likely to crash and when I do it SHOULD be less costly to fix due to the lower speed. When I do learn how to drive it will be after market time for a picco or sirio. Sorry for the long winded answer. Btw my bro-in-law is waiting on a T-maxx. I will be giving side by side comparisons in the near future.
