The Savage SS kit is gonna be faster that the RTR, and you can also add the 3 speed transmision to either Savage for more speed.

the Savage LE is around 44mph out of the box when tuned, beats SS and 25. Out of the box, it is probably beaten by an LST2 but correct me if im wrong as i have nevera ctually seen a Losi run!!

You should really base your decision of what truck to buy on more than just top speed. Just because it is faster doesn't make it better. Consider such factors as durability, price, features, parts support etc.

Just keep in mind everything leads to something else in this hobby. If you purchase a RTR NS 25 It will eventually, that is if you stay in the hobby turn into a completely custom truck 3 to 400.00 bucks later 
Like everyone said above, It all depends on what you plan to do with the truck, if your looking for speed and speed alone, no parts availability cept for online, I would go with a mammoth or mammoth 2, they are 55+ out of the box
If your looking for great speed and handling stock, I would go with an LST or LST2.
Durability, Savage without question.
Depends on what "you" want.
check out your LHS see what they carry, find out where they run their trucks and go to watch, sometimes shopping for a new truck can be an adventure in itself
I lucked out where I am, everyone I run with has a different truck, so the variety is nice. Revos, giga crushers, savages, lsts, maxxes of many sorts, mammoths, buggies, truggies. My personal savage racer I'm currently working on has been up against all of them over the past few years and has held her own with the best of them.
Good luck in your search and feel free to PM me with any questions you may run across.
cheers,
Tweedy Bird

The savage was my first MT I ever owned, I now own 2. SS Kit Custom now, and the 4.6 kit still being customed
The first savage was a project for my son and I, that ended when I got to into running it, now both savages are mine. and my son now owns his own Jato.
Also there is an LST in the Garage, and I'm really thinking about a Hellfire.
