I haven't raced myself yet. But I visit the local track from time to time. I have noticed a interesting trend over time. When I first went there the MT class consisted of mostly T-Maxxes. Maybe one Savage per heat. About a month later it was 50/50 Maxxes and Savages. The last time I went it was mostly Savages and maybe one T-Maxx per heat. It seems that for that particular track (small with many tight turns), you have to drive a Savage to be competitive. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
