well from what i hear the wheelie king onli does around 12-15mph out of the box...you would need a motor upgrade out of the box to get some more speed out of it..i dont know about the sav so i cant help you there..i think the stock wheelie king esc can handle up to a 15t motor so you could get it go faster for cheap.

Even though its not on the list I'd go for an e-maxx just because of the aftermarket.

Wheelie king is best for wheelies, e-savage is best for all other catagories mentioned.

Oh the VXL? I personally would just buy an E-Savage and make it BL. The Traxxas cars will bee friggin bombs at that speed... Plus hunderds on LiPo batteries if you want to go the advertised speed

The E-zilla is better at wheelies too. Tighten the slipper up and throw a savage wheely bar on it. You can pull wheelies with it faster than a wheely king will go!

The two vehicles are totally different . the E-savage is a 1/8th scale monster truck. The wheelie king is a tiny (compared to the e-savage) little thing good for cruising around at jogging speed and little wheelies. Get the E-savage...it would crush the wheelie king literally.

Totally different trucks with totally different purposes!!!

Wheelie King is a solid axle truck, it can be turned into a rock crawler or a good basher for really rough terrain and can go where the esavage cant, if you do the strech mod it can be about the same size.

Esavage is a independent suspension tuck, it handles better at high speeds but will get high centered where the king wont.

I really would be amazed if anyone bought the wheelie king and planned to keep it stock for wheelies, after on battery pack I removed the rear brace and ordered the links to lengthen it and reversed the chassie!

Yeah, people forget the E-savage has been about for years under a different name.

The E-savage is 1/10th scale.

I have a feeling we will see a new e-maxx and possibly an E-revo in the future with the release of the new traxxas velineon system.

I would wait and get the e-revo myself.

More likely.

The Velinion system could be used, but it would need to be specialised for applications such as an E-revo or E-maxx. It's not heavy duty enough at the moment.

If you just want to do wheelies, get a lunchbox. Cheap, and with a decent motor, it will do 30- 35 mph. Then you still have money left over for a savage

I cant say as I am into the toyish tamiya cars, but even though the kits are around $100 or so, you still need a descent motor, esc, and radio setup. You will get over $200 easily and still have a goofy kiddie rc.

Tamiya has some nice 4wd buggies and touring cars but some of their stuff just looks like a 5 year old should be playing with it.

I bought my wheely king for $130 shipped on ebay NIB. It was only 2wd but for $35 extra it is now 4wd. The wheely king is pretty slow stock though. Nothing a nice 17t motor wont fix.
