The E-Savage is a good truck I think. From what I have heard though, the driveline isnt very strong when you add power. For stock power, they are a good truck, and I believe they are pretty quick for stock and brushed, but I wouldnt go brushless or big tires/rims with one because then you will start breaking things. Other than that, the suspension is tough on them, and it should be a lot of fun in stock form.
