RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
Stock vs. stock, the mammoth is weak as a kitten when it comes to bashing... For bashing, it's Savage, hands down, no question. XTM needed to a) support the shock towers MUCH better b) create better gear cases and c) brace that LONG chassis better.
You can say what you want, I have seen a Mammoth bend the chassis and shock tower with a medium impact.
Now, if you throw some $$$ at it, the Mammoth can hang alright, but out of the box, it's a savage.

RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
it is true savage better for bashing and mammoth better for racing,( stock vs. stock) but savage is not "far away", you have to change 3 things on the mammoth to make as durable as the savage one......

I'm not saying the Mammoth is weak or anything, mind you, just talking about the Savage here. If you want to see some video proof of the Savage's toughness, check out the vids at www.slapmafro.com. We beat the snot out of them and they just keep coming back.
