Revo or Savage. All the others are 2WD or 1/10 scale (or both). The S-Maxx
is only a few $$$ cheaper than the T-Maxx which is 4WD, so if going for a
Maxx get the 4WD T-Maxx instead. The Stampede is a joke. The Rustler is
quick and agile, but has very limited ground clearance and is 2WD. The Revo
is a decent truck as is the Savage. The MT-2 is a pretty cool truck as
well...............but I'd take a Revo or Savage over it on the basis of
size and engine availability (big blocks rule!).

If you're looking for a 4WD Stadium Truck check out the Sportwerks Mayhem
ST. I own one and have beat it mercilessly and it's just as durable as the
Savage. It is also faster (50 mph bone stock) and more agile than the Sav
and the rotostart is superior to HPI's version. Hell, even comes with a
decent computerized radio. I can send you some pics of it if you're
interested.

HTH,

You can get a Savage for £299 :-)

Or Modelsport sell the current T-Maxx for £230 RTR - Eazy start...
