Depends on what you want to do? A Savage can be lowered mine is as I race it. I do know the RTR Hellfire’s sure tear up a lot at the track and my Savage keeps on going. Last week there where 2 Hellfire’s at the track one did not even make qualifying and the other made one round before tearing up.

Well IMO if you bash hard, or want to bash hard then go for the X (although it sounds like the X TVP's have a weak spot so if you bend em dont replace with stock).
If you are a light basher and want to race a bit then go for the Hellfire.
I think there is a Hellfire forum here so read through that to get an idea of the problems people are having.

Go Savage! It is a great truck and surpasses Hellfire in a very important factor of racing: finishing!

You can even bash the h3ll out of it! If you want to destroy something on a Savage, you have to do something really stupid.
