It's funny to hear the I like this don't buy this stories on the fourum. I have the warhead evo and I put on some upgrades and I have a great time with the truck and I have very little problem with it. My sons aftershock has broke more parts then mine. He bump into a tree once not very hard and the shock shaft broke. So he buys the upgraded shaft and bumps another tree a couple of weeks later and the shaft breaks again. The aftershock shock shafts are a week point. I have spoken with a guy at the hobby shop who sold is savage because he got tired of fixing it all the time. So really which truck is better? I think it all comes down to a few points. Get a truck that has good parts support at your local hobby shop. Or buy the truck for its looks good. Just remember it is a hobby and no matter what rc truck you buy something will break on it and if someone tries to tell you different then they are lying.
