Status: offline 		Hello, everyone!

I am thinking to have an E-Savage or E-Maxx. Which one is better?

Because of the voltage, E-Maxx seems to be faster. But my biggiest concern is reliability without any mechanical problmes.

Is E-Maxx as reliable as E-Savage? And how much faster than E-Savage? Which one do you recommend?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Status: offline 		Well which one does your LHS stock the parts for?

The E-Maxx shares alot of parts with the T-Maxx, where as the E-Savage doesn't share any parts with the Savage.

The E-Maxx is more of an 1/8 truck while the E-Savage is more 1/10...............

Both trucks are fst and reliable. The 16.8 E-Maxx has waterproof electronics while the E-Savage doesn't.

Once again, thank you for your advice.

Status: offline 		The Emaxx all the way, especially the latest model. Traxxas has this truck figured out and dialed in and just about any hobby shop will have parts for it. Aftermarket hop ups are readily available as well. HPI meant well with the Esavage, but it just didn't take off. If you can wait a little longer, get the Erevo. It's going to be killer.
