Just out of curiousity...do you own anything other than a T-Maxx?
If not, then how can you even claim to have an unbaised opinion. I'll grant you the fact that the T-Maxx is a good truck. I might even go with saying it is a great truck...but the best? Out of the box? Not even.
I have both a Savage and a T-Maxx. I have had to dump quite a bit into the T to make it as bashworthy as my Savage. For speed, regearing and a better than stock engine...and viola...instant T-Maxx killer. For the record...I went with a better engine in both of my MTs...why? Because the stock TRAXXAS engines are crap. Talk about unreliable.
Now, before we get too far adrift, here...do me a favor and stop crapping on every thread in this section about how the T-Maxx is king. There is a T-Maxx section set aside for that. Let this, the AE MGT, section remain what it is...a section for the AE MGT. Thanks.
