The T-Maxx shouldn't even be considered against a Savage or Aftershock, there's just no comparison. As for the Savage Vs. Aftershock most Savage owners will tell you to get a Savage, while Losi owners will tell you to get the Aftershock. Personally I would go with the Aftershock (heh see I'm a Losi owner) but both are excellent trucks and you should be happy with either one.
