Looking at getting a new monster truck in the future sometime. The bottom line is I want to get one that is huge. The biggest and baddest I can. I want this thing destroy anything that gets in its path. I want it to dwarf my 1/10 scale ruckus and pede in size. Its got to be gigantic. So far I have narrowed it down to the final 2. Losi LST XXL and Savage Xl 5.9. These trucks must be good at going through tall grass, have four wheel drive, be very durable as I will be jumping them and also be easy to work on.
Anyone have the above trucks? What is your opinion. I have heard nothing but great things about the Savage line and how durable they are. Losi has a great reputation too. I really like the telemetry system that comes on the LST XXl that shows your speed and temp in real time on the Spektrum transmitter. Of course you also pay a little extra for having that. Doing a size comparison they both are around the same size with the Savage being slightly a little bit bigger in almost every way but it is not by much.
The LHS doesn't stock much parts for either so that is not a factor as I will have to order everything. (well atleast I didn't see any Losi or HPI parts there but I will ask him the next time I go)
Please help me choose. Also know any websites that don't charge an arm and a leg for one? The LST is almost $700 on there website.
