Well if you are going to get something for racing at the tracks around here you'll probably want the buggy unless you want to mod a Savage. But if you want something for the backyard a Savage X is for sure the way to go. I have my Savage set up now for racing and backyard bashing, best of both worlds I suppose. And for durability I think the Savage would be tougher, where as the buggy will probably be faster in the speed category. Overall I would take the Savage, there are a few guys here who race them as well, and if we see you down at the tracks one day you can come down and see them and have a good time..
