CTan Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm thinking of getting my first Monster early next year, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me one. I was thinking Either a Savvy 3.5 or a Traxxas T Maxx. Theres not going to be raced or anything fancy like that, there just going to be for me to have some fun with. I also want something that wont break the bank to much, which is why I'm edging towards the T Maxx. Are they any good, or could any suggest an alternative? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'd go for the sav, awsome truck but I'd try to raise enough funds for a better version : 25 Nitro MT's are pricey, you can get the T Maxx for around 240, personally I'd bump the budget and go for the 25. Its an all round good truck, big strong and fast enough, endless amount of hopups availible or the 4.6 which you can pick up for £340 but its in kit form and needs radio gear (ebay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 yeah save the extra cash and get a savage.it may cost more then the t maxx but it's worth it.anyway the t maxx is old now if you want a traxxas go for the revo (great truck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Savvy without a doubt, its harder than mike tyson and well worth the coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc007 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Got to be the savage for bashing, using a stock engine its pretty bullet proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 The Savage, I think it’s the best all-round MT. very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy_Noden Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have had a T-Maxx and two Savvys - go for the Savvy, alot easier to work on and alot more robust as stock set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I was stuck in a big rutt when I wanted my first MT, I got it down to the sav 21 and the t maxx and could'nt decided, I'd never seen an MT before let alone used one, I knew nothing about them and choose the sav 21 at the last min based on looks alone. Since then I've seen and used a t maxx aswell as learning a lot more about nitros and imo theres no comparisoin between the two, I made the right choice, the sav is the best rc I have ever owned Dazz (HPI Fanboy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoclick Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 LST2 is coming out near the end of this month apparently. Info: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...D=345&ShowCar=1 Slightly costly i know, but its an extremly good truck. However at the end of the day, if you go for any of the big guns (mgt, revo, savage and lst) you will be very happy. All good in thier own ways and you'll have no regrets! Just get one asap and bash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamer17 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Go for the Savvy mate, very tough and strong truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTan Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well I'm going to upset quite a few now, but I ordered a T Maxx today after taking one for a bash this afternoon. It turns out my mahe has one lol! I thought it was brilliant fun and is fine for me to muck about with. I know the Savvy is better, but hey, I can get one next year So much for waiting till next year to gte a monster eh Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTan Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Lol I know, but hey I'm getting the Pirate on Saturday (Yay) I do like the Savvy I admit, but at the moment I can't really afford it. I am waiting for the payoff from my bike accident which I should get early next yeah, I will probably invest in a savvy then Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
