RE: E-Maxx or E-Savage for bashing
I've had both, and I'm afraid the E-savage is just the better truck. It's cheaper, faster out of the box, doesn't have an overly complicated gearbox to let go and is tougher for general bashing. You can make any electric vehicle waterproof, just get busy with the damn silicone. My E-maxx has transformed into a low cg chassis running, buggy steering setup using, revo gearbox utilising, brushless running hybrid that will annihilate most truggies in a straight line or around a track. But only because it was pants out of the box. The E-savage is just ballsy and more powerful stock, and you can get aftermarket chassis plates to stretch it if it isn't big enough for you.
