Hey all,

New to this side of RC.

Looking at the following, just don't know which to choose. E-Savage, Savage XS or Savage Flux HP. Whats the difference between the three?

The E-Savage isn't particularly well supported for parts, and ITBJRC has been discontinued. The Savage XS is basically an overpowered ridiculously fun brick, and the Flux HP is an overpoewred, ridiculously fun brick that's twice as big. If you've got the pockets to drop about $800, get the Flux HP and a pair of Orion's 2 cell Flux direct fit batteries and bash away. If you can't swing that, the Savage XS is equally fun, but will require a speed control sooner than later.

If the XS is a brick then a Flux HPis more of a cinder block. And YES, they are insanely fun!

I just ordered a Savage XS SS kit, so I will be finding out how great it really is!

It's like TBJ said really, the Flux HP is the daddy, the Flux 2350 is the mommy. The Flux XS is like the wayward teenager, and the e-savage is like their fully grown, severely challenged third cousin who sits in the corner and dribbles.
