Items in yellow indicate an advantage. It is a tight battle, but the slight edge may go to the HPI Savage 25. However, the Savage rc truck does not have reversing transmission, and if you want a nitro monster truck that has reverse, then the Associated Monster GT is the truck for you.
Both nitro monster trucks are ready to run (RTR) kits. However you still need to buy items such as a glow igniter, fuel, fuel bottle, transmitter batteries (8 AA-size), and receiver batteries (4 AA-size).
Excited? You can buy from your local hobby shop or from an online hobby shop. The advantage of shopping online is the convenience of buying and having the model delivered to your door.
