The Tmaxx is outdated now. I don't like the chassis and the supension is alright. They have problems with the bulk heads breaking, but it's expected.

The Stampedes (Don't know about the Nitro's) are good for beginners, but with a BL system (ask Donzii) it can go far and do alot. The biggest thing I miss when going from Revo to Pede is the power. But a diffrent motor and batteries isn't too expensive.



I think Junk-mod-er at XMW/IRC had the story from hell on his MGT, but that was just him. And we know Junk (and his hot glue gun antics )...

I would go Tmaxx becuase it has larger aftermarket support and if something goes wrong, Traxxas has your back.

But remember:
Revo>Tmaxx
The Nitro Stampede is a good basher. The shocks could be a little stronger though.
