^ Agreed. Out of the Traxxas nitro flagship, the only one really worth looking at is the Revo... Having owned both a T-maxx AND a Savage (and my bro owns an S-maxx), the T just doesn't cut it. It was my first truck and had under 9 gallons on it, I have broken almost every part on the truck, some parts 3 times before upgrading to something better. Spent of $700 on replacements and mods, over half would have to be on replacements though. My Savage I have managed to break a total of $25 in stock parts over the last 3 years, and I put that truck through 3X of of anything that my T-maxx has ever been through. I recommend any of the major brands for smaller 1/10 trucks as well. The Losi and AE's 1/10s seem to be the best out of the pack from what I've seen.
