I know I’m probably not on the right RC-brand forum for this, but: What are your thoughts about the Associated Rival MT vs the Arrma Granite? The price point is attractive. -just wondering- Thanks!

Cliff notes:

The Rival handles way better, and tires work better in loose dirt.
The Granite has better electronics and more power. Durability is a little better.

For actual driving, I like the Rival more. For stunts, the Granite is better.

Great insight. Thanks!

(The Granite does seem a little skittish in videos)

It's a fun little truck. Takes a bit of skill to drive it, but one of my most fun trucks for sure.
