I have been looking into the large 1/8th scale nitro trucks lately.

I have wanted the big trucks ever since the original Clodbuster was out and i do think nitro would help alot.

I see the HPI Savage, the XTM X-Factor, The Kyosho Mad Force, the Thunder Tiger EK-4. But i have no idea what one is the best. They all seem to be about $499 RTR.

Any tips will help.

Just from my experiance with HPI I would probably go with the Savage21. I have had my RS4 for many years (at least 4-5 now) and its a very tough vehicle. Its taken full speed (with a 2spd) tumbles from stuff in the road, bottom outed, smacked by other fast traveling RC's etc, yet since I have had it I have only replaced a drivebelt and 2spd gears out of necesity. If this is any sign of the quality of their kits then the Savage21 is bound to be a very durable truck.
