Default New to me 4.6X question.

Well I bought a close to new 4.6 off of ebay and am waiting on it. My question is this. I have a T-maxx 3.3 now. What should I expect different or look out for with the Savage. This isn't a bash either thread just looking to dig up some points. My T-maxx has been good and forgiving how about the Savage? Let me know what you think.

the savage will probally have more power availble to it and be able to stand um, you'll be able to jump way better (almost 7 in long shocks) and it'll be much more durable

Much better durability, much greater speed and acceleration, better jumping ability, and tank-like handling.

It will stand up on the rear tires from a dead stop.

Sweet. The only time I tore up the T-maxx is when I have run it into immovable objects, other than clutch shoes. So this should be a load of fun.

I may change it on over to a pull start however.
