Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
 

which do you think is stronger and better for bashing

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.

i have had my savage for 2 months now and iv done loads of jumps and i always going to the bmx track near me i have also jumped it over van's and cars and i still havnt broken anything:D

RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
 

uh...dale the mammoth isnt weak..the savage has plastic gears for crap sake..my friend has a mammoth and right after he broke it in, he got into 2nd gear and hit a tree head on, yet only broke the shock tower..road it away

I believe evry one here knows i love the mammoth but wen it comes down to this sorry but its the savage by far:(:([8D]

RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
 

Wow cant believe you said that:D jp with you man

Ya I would say go for the savage for bashing and the mammoth for racing

RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
 

lol it is the truth i have seen the savage take major beatings like on smp they jumped it over a barn lol and didnt break anything

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......

That'd be SMF, as in SlapMaFro, Mxracer! :D

I haven't driven a Mammoth, but I do know the Savage is tough as nails!

RE: Bashing strength:savage or mammoth
 

Plastic gears in the Savage....yeah? So? It's also got metal gears where it needs them. I've had my Savage for 16 months and never broken any plastic gears except one spur thanks to operator error (bad mesh). Believe it or not I sheared off a metal screw in my bumper, but the plastic held up. Plastic is light, somewhat flexible, and in the proper composition it can be very strong. Come to think of it, I think the only plastic things I've broken on my Savage are tie rod ends, a shock body, and I cracked a skidplate. I think the metal vs. plastic breakage has been about even.

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.
