Top 3 nitros that are tops for bashing? That would have to be the last 3 incarnations of the Savage, right?

Physical bashing or verbal? I'll bash the tmaxx over most of them verbally.

1) Savage
2) Revo 3.3 with RPM arms, side pipe and wing
3) LST* with RPM arms and roll bar
The savage has diff/center axle issues. Proper shimming and alloy gear box's help the diffs, center axles are an ongoing battle...
Revo has weak arms and the roll bar flex's which is prone to crushing the engine. A better roll bar and wing helps combat that.
LST has two speed issues, weak arms and stupid sized tires that cause things to break due to the extra mass and leverage.
Fix all the bugs on any of them and they are all good trucks for a basher. I have all 3.
Never seen an MGT in person. Looks like a well built rig. From what I've read, they require RPM arms and aftermarket hinge pin braces.

Olds nailed it. The savage handles noticeably worse than the revo and lst, but IS tougher.
definately a tough truck. Depends on what you get. I had the XL and broke a tooth on the bevel gear in the front diff after jump and landing on grass after a few low jumps.
