All New guys wondering what to get,

T-Maxx all the way!

The T-maxx is what all the other companies are trying to compete with. The T-Maxx is what woke up the RC scene and now everyone else is trying to jump on the bandwagon in hopes of making a quick buck. The T-maxx is tried and true as it had years of engineering designed into it before it hit the streets back in 1999. Now with the new 2.5 T-Maxx, not only do you have a truck that is and has been the number 1 truck of the year but it has also been out on the market long enough that it has more available upgrades and hop-ups. If you still want a Savage 21, just read the Savage 21 forums and have a look at all the problems people are having with them due to the fact that HPI slammed something together and tossed it into the market without sufficient product testing. If you can wait a while maybe HPI will do something good with that Savage but until then, beware.
