Buying My First Monster! Help me decide!

[canadian-mgt]

I've been reading from alot of guys that have the LST that parts are already being stocked at alot of lhs.many of them have said that along with the truck they've picked up spare parts.I own an MGT and a sportmaxx with a 4WD kit,if it wasn't for the LST coming out so late into the racing season and the fact that I already own an XS3 radio,I probably would have gotten one.I've seen alot of savages bashing and there's no doubt that they're tough,but I've been racing my MGT without any problems so far this year.all I've broken was the stock servo saver.it's a great handling truck and comes with alot of stock parts that are hop ups on alot of other trucks.I can't say anything bad about it really,but if I were in your position and had the funds available I'd be leaning towards the LST first then either the savage or MGT.

I still havn't ruled out the mgt. I'm really not afraid of the part situation with the losi either, since everything losi makes is backed by every one. I think it will boil down to how much I can get for my rc10gt, and if the xr3 sales with it or not. If it goes with it, then I'll look into the lst since it has the nice radio. If I get to keep and get decent money for the gt, I'll probably go savage. I have enough shops around me here in okc that parts won't be a problem at all.

To be honest with you... I have used that radio that the Losi comes with, it's nice for what it is, nothing spectacular, but it's a HUGE upgrade to the garbage that the MGT comes with. Mind you, I love the truck, it's bad ass, hands down, but the electronics that TA gives you is just crap in my opinion... that is where Losi picks up where they left off. Depending on how much of a RTR you are looking for, this may sway you too because if you aren't into replacing the radio right out of the box, you may want to think about the Losi. I personally just got myself a nice Airtronics MX3 radio and will simply use that in whatever I end up getting. My LHS is cool and will let me strip it down and take out the stuff I don't want for a credit on purchase. The radio, motor, whatever. Something to think about.

Sorry about that. I forgot the Savage SS comes with the 25 engine, just no electronics.

I sold the rc10gt complete for 300 bucks + shipping, so as soon as the money order shows up, I will be off to buy something. I need to make a decision. I really woudl like to build up a truck actually, but when lst comes assembled and with a great radio, I can see going with the ss and spending another 250 on top of the 300 and still having a smidge older truck. Will see. I'll shop the classifieds some as well.
