I'm looking for the Biggest Baddest truck i can get for around $500 or less :smoke:

I'm thinking of either the T-Maxx (tried and true), The Revo (not sure if this is good for climbing rocks), Savage 25, Trinity Spyder, XTM X-Factor 2 (suspension on this thing looks AWESOME!) and the OFNA Titan MT.

I'm planning on using it for climbing rocks and driving in the dirt, and kicking it up in the sand a little. I need a truck that has alot of upgrade parts, parts availibility is great, and that can take a beating and keep on truckin'! :boxing: :sniper:

I chose the T-Maxx cause you know so many peaople are dumping their stuff to get new trucks now that there are so many coming out.....spare parts are cheap and readily available ANYWHERE.....upgrades galore too! I just picked up another maxx last nite at the track.....another score....traded a serpent 705 rolling chassis for an all GA ACNC HCR aluminum Maxx....it's just my opinion but I'd say go with something you will be able to find parts for in a pinch....
 
See what your LHS carries. That will narrow your choices. The T maxx is the best selling MT, but after all the "which truck" threads I have read,you can't go wrong with the Savage. Lots of hop-up for it. I would also say no to the Revo, its a GREAT truck,but not a rock crawler at all. The TRX 2.5 is a great small block,but I perfer a big block for MT's. For an all around basher.......................................

Man you really need to do a search for the people here that have a REVO. Humboldtblazer and FastEddy have one as well as onBagz and Robmob. They beat the crap out of theirs and they are still running. If you are into serious rockclimbing then maybe an Xfactor but the Revo is damn tough. I would go with the Revo..IMO

Yeah the Revo is tough,but I wouldnt go rock climbing with it,but i'm sure someone has. Most "true" climbers use ele. anyway. I like the 2.5 mill,but love big blocks.
