Default savage or t-maxx

Hey guys i got a question for you. I've been watching alot of videos on byt and i've mostly been seing savage's and t-maxx's and they both seem to be pretty durable. At the moment i am leaning towards a savage because of all the aluminum you can get for them and because in all the videos the t-maxx breaks first. Just wondering what yall think please let me know which one you think is better and has most hop-up parts avaliable. I love to bash and I have a XTM nitro X-cellerator which is a great little truck and does almost every thing i try to do with it but it breaks easily and cant get much upgrades i would also like something higher off the ground so i can run through some water, mud, and higher grass.

t-maxx has alot more after market items available, and is compatible with alot of stuff not made for traxxas.

plus you get reverse right off the bat, lol

T-maxx is my vote, you can have mine after WE fix it

If you are bashing go with a Savage. A T-Max for bashing you will spend more time replacing parts then you will driving it. If you want to race on a track then I would say Revo.

yeah, it should be between Savage and Revo, not T-Maxx. I would vote Savage cause you sound like you want to upgrade and the Savage is better for upgrading (although everyones now gonna disagreee with me beacuse the T-Maxx has more hop-ups).

Ok well all i want to do is bash. So ill go with the savage i guess. We hopefully are building a track near by here if the township will give us a spot to do it and ill mostly run my xtm x-cellerator there cause thats built for racing.

I dunno, the LST seems pretty stout...but for pure bashing, yeah, Savage all the way.
BTW, how do you like your SS 4.6?

as far as speed/acceleration, the T-maxx 2.5 and Savage 25 RTR and SS are almost identical

That's true.... but why on earth would anyone get the 25 over the new SS... gotta love that .28 and all of the factory upgrades.
