Hello,
My friend is about tro buy a truck but we cannot decide which one- Savage or T-Maxx RTR. They both cost the same 399.
Which one and why would you choose.

Thank you everyone!!!

Why would you even think about starting a thread like this? Are you intentionally starting a flame war?

Seriously, use the "SEARCH" button. You'll find more flame wars then you'll need to help you choose!

Get them both! I love my Bigblock Maxx but, it's not stopping me from buying other stuff!

jefx is right there is more then enough info on these trucks in this forum if you take the time and do a search.[X(]

Sorry, I guess i should have done a little research.

After reading them, seems that Savage is better.

the savage is more durable yet the t-maxx is alittle faster. its like a trade off, do you want speed or durabiliy.

Does the T-Maxx still out-accelerate the Savage, even with the new 25 engine? I have both trucks (old Savage with a Wasp 26 and new T-Maxx with new 2.5 engine) and the Savage is definitely faster. I didn't know whether anyone had done a side-by-side comparison of the two trucks' acceleration box stock, but in my case, the T-Maxx is a real pretty shelf queen and the Savage is the superior truck. Not to tick off anyone in love with their T-Maxx, just my opinion on my trucks.

right now i cant really tell you because ive got a sirio and i could even beat a buggy probably but the t-maxx may have more accel if its a 3-shoe check to see what shoe clutch it has on it. and let me know.

savageone

2-shoe

vizaracer

ok. the savage 25 will probably have better accel because of the 3-shoe clutch, its alittle heaver but it is alot more durably in my opinion. ive never owned a maxx because the guy the hobby shop told me they are a waste of money. he suggested the savage to me. if you got a few mods you will probably be as fast as a stock maxx or a slightly modified maxx

savageone

I like my Maxx because I can do anything to it. It's the greatest project truck of all time. Right now I've probably got $1000 sunk into it, and there's plenty more gonna happen to it! So I guess it is a big waste of money, but what isn't right?

vizaracer

if youve got over 1k sunk into it, it wont be a piece of junk because you will probably have alot of mods in it like aluminums which increase its durablilty. ive got alot of mods in my truck also and i love how it runs. ive got alittle more to do till i think its the best i will take it.
