Get the savage. Way more aftermarket support than the mammoth.

i have a 24.7 (right out of a mammoth included clutch and manifold) in my buggy and the clutch is great. the engine is very powerful. the savage is a little more durable than the mammoth but the mammoth handels better (cuz its a truggy). but the mammoth will take a harder hit than the savage and still come out unbroken. i think the savage is a great truck (i had one), there is a great aftermarket for it. but there are also SOME upgrades for the mammoth. if you want speed and handeling go mammoth, if you want smash and crash and customiaztion, go savage. and hpi customer service is equal to xtm customer service (through my experience, which includes somewhere around 25 calls).

i really think the mammoth is better because of its speed and durablility. so the mammoth is better overall, no question.

mammoth all the way. it is the fastest one out there(52 MPH according to RCCAR ACTION) and with minor upgrates ($150) is as durable as the savage.

lax195 all I can say is great post.It sounds so unbiased it almost makes me want a mammoth.While I cant believe it is as durable as the savage it sounds like most people who posted here think its great.

All I can say is that there both tied. The Mammoth has its speed and the Savage has its durability, so all we can do is wait for more people to vote. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE!

I have a Mammoth, and I really like it so far. It is faster that the Savage. My neighbour has a Savage and it sure does seem more durable. They are both nice trucks.

Umm you will definatly beat me in the long rune but i will smoke u off the line. Savage already has one of the better acceleration stock. Plus the picco .26 has so much low end torq, and my ribbed pipe is all about low end torq, So that setup will be hard to beat off the line.
