MGT

By far the easiest to tune. Traxxas engines are finicky. I've had 4 of them so far and hated each one. Savage is decent, but hasn't been updated and the new MGT is beastly. Seen the vids of it yet? Spins the tires into 2nd with that .50 engine. And it's drill start, which he's bound to have.

I've had two MGTs and another is sitting at my home, waiting to be fired up. Go for the MGT man!
