It depends on what you are planning to do with it an what terrain you will be running it on!
Tmaxx or MT style trucks are focused toward a more rougher terrain with ruts & jumps ,or
hill mounds that one might have around their area!
Losi eight T style truggy has a lower center gravity ,they are good in multiple use terrain but
they are more focused for a track or the race scene ,however ,they jump well an are better
balanced for racing!..
The Tmaxx will never be a race platform as they are more focused towards a back yard basher!...

Ok i am gonna be running on some loose rocks and dust rocks + just dirt and sometimes asphalt but i can't run any of my cars or trucks at the Track they don't allow nitro and i am not really a racer i only race on roads as for jumps little to no jumps it is kinda rough terrain though kinda like this o yeah and sometimes tall grass grows from it also it has a part where it has gray sand

Would be like target partice with rocks to the truggy under carige/chassis

Id get the Truggy personally but mostly only cuz I'm not a big fan of the 3.3. The Tmaxx needs a .28 in it imho.

I think the T-Maxx would be better for your application, but you can't go wrong with an 8ight on larger tires either. It's really more down to personal preference at that point.

Agreed. Either truck will be a hoot

Looks like both trucks are a great choice and around the same price but i gotta know which one is more reileable fun and the better one overall

Like you said both good choices.
Ones a truggy
Ones a MT
It all comes down to what YOU want bud

well i might have to go with the T maxx but are there any slipper lutch upgrades i heard they are really easy to wear out

There's up grades for every part on that truck. Don't worry about WHAT can happen to it. The Slipper if set right it won't wear out that fast. Just get the truck and get used to it .The nitro motor and care the way it rides then you upgrade to how you would like it to ride then you can go with different Slipper motor gears. Air filter exhust shocks LOL. Stop worring about what other people say about the truck they might not have everything set probably and just fu**ING everything up. I never had a problem with any of my slippers it's all about Care and maintenance bud

Like Stoner said, I'm pretty sure you could literally build the entire kit out of after market parts on the particular truck. Its very popular and its been around forever.

so true, for the most part can find spare parts, but spur gears... oh the horror.... ended up buying the last 2 sets i could find on ebay that came from either Austria or Germany i can't remember which.
such well built trucks, even its bigger brother the MGT, MGT 4.6, and the MGT 8.0

Well the 1/8 scale truck didn't have much of a life span. T-Maxx however though it's a small block engine. Carries a long-lasting 20 years of service I still going on.

I can't tell you what you should get. But if you like something really loud and kind of bring attention than 1/8 scale is your best bet.


If you just like Nitro in a way that you just like basic realism sound. He can get either the T-Max. Sometimes it's preference. I personally wanted a Savage. I like the shape of the chassis design. The sound is always brings attention to people.

And I'm just a showman kind of person and I like Showmanship. And a Savage my opinion deliver that.
