Racer's Review: No one knows monster trucks like Traxxas! Traxxas has been the pioneers of the monster truck movement from the beginning. The Traxxas Revo was unleashed in 2004 as a totally revamped version of the ground breaking T-Maxx monster truck and has been a hit ever since. After ollecting the most coveted award, R/C Car Action's Reader's Choice Award 2004 Truck of the Year, the Traxxas Revo continues to make strides on the track and in backyard bashing. By being the most popular monster truck in the industry, aftermarket parts of titanium, aluminum and graphite are found from a variety of companies like Hardcore Racing, Integy, Robinson Racing, MIP, and Proline. Owner's of this awesome monster truck can turn their Traxxas Revo into a racing monster or an eye catching bling machine complete with spinner wheels! Traxxas's renowned customer support and product gaurantee is still the best in the r/c industry for the past decade. How can anyone go wrong by choosing the most customizable monster truck available?!

Racer Review:  HPI's active involvement in competitive r/c racing is very apparent with the HPI Savage monster truck line. From their incorporation of the super powerful Nitro Star 4.6 engine to their innovative 3-Speed Transmission design (An industry first!), HPI's dedication to improve the overall performance of their monster truck is second to none. HPI's reputation for quality and durable products is also very noticeable. Although, there is no shortage of after market products available for the HPI Savage from very reputable companies like Hardcore Racing, Hot Bodies, Integy, and FlexTek. No longer is it necessary for owners to purchase these after market aluminum and titanium products to strength their monster truck from the vigorous abuse that is encountered on a daily basis. You simply can't wrong with the HPI Savage for backyard bashing or competitive monster truck racing.
