RE: New Emaxx or New savage flux hp?
The Flux is tougher, I know because i've owned both and I sold the E-maxx. The E-maxx handles like it's drunk also, parts break much more frequent and it became a pain in my butt, sure you upgrade it and it'll be better. but man I have a freaking BLAST with my Flux HP XL.
The question/debate would be which is better the Traxxas E-Revo (just put an E-maxx truck BODY on it, thats what I did) or the Savage Flux HP...Now I own both currently and always will because they are GREAT trucks! I could debate myself to death on which one I prefer, I can not decide. They Tie!
