Any truck is going to break at some point or another. I beat the living crap out of my Savage and pretty much only break things when I do something really, really dumb. But you wanna know something? I would not give up my Savvy for any other make of MT. For some reason, my town is full of Traxxas junkies. You would have thought that after they break and have to watch me drive for a few more hours, they would have learned.
