Hi there..

Just narrowing down my choices for my first nitro vehicle.. My local hobby shop fully supports the XTM XT2 buggy, and am just wondering who has some good miles on this car, and what you think.. This buggy seems to be the only buggy they fully support, so my next choice would be the HPI Savage X.. Any help would be great before I slap the cash down..

Thanx.. Jon

Well if you are going to get something for racing at the tracks around here you'll probably want the buggy unless you want to mod a Savage. But if you want something for the backyard a Savage X is for sure the way to go. I have my Savage set up now for racing and backyard bashing, best of both worlds I suppose. And for durability I think the Savage would be tougher, where as the buggy will probably be faster in the speed category. Overall I would take the Savage, there are a few guys here who race them as well, and if we see you down at the tracks one day you can come down and see them and have a good time..
