The ultimate bash car?

I have to say that my lst2 has proven much stronger than the savage. Plus I prefer the layout on the lst than the savage. I have the flm kit and it is nice, but I prefer the simplicity of esc brakes and reverse. The MMM has no issue running the hacker c50 xl and the 1521, so I see no need for multi speed trannys and mech brakes, especially for 40mph.

The erevo is pretty good too, better than a stock maxx, but not as beefy as the lst. Lst diffs and the al cases are great, easy to shim and about the best thing I have seen in a monster truck.

Make sure you get the lst2 arms hubs and driveshafts. All of the other variants have the weaker lst1 parts. Or get a muggy, those are good too.

+1. I own a Muggy and it's a TON better than my old Revo. At least it can handle my 1515 without blowing diff gears Get the RPM LST arms with the LST2/Mug adapters and Lunsford turnbuckles and it's a VERY tough truck. I managed to break a front spindle on mine and replaced it with an aluminum GH one (probably going to break the C-blocks now ). So far an ace in my book.

Im going to be beating the hell out of these things, I want something that will last, run for 30-40 mins and be somewhat simple on the wallet,

imo this is a trade off. hard bashing and easy on the wallet seems to be mutually exclusive.

however. savages build properly are quite tough when it comes to jumping and the like. i do not own a lst but most of what i read is positive.

imo a multiple speed tranny is not going to hold up long with serious brushless power.

for jumping etc also a lcg is not indicated. for doing backflips and things you may want a "higher" cg. quite different needs than for racing.
