I have been out of the rc world for a while and am planning on getting back in with either the T-Maxx or Savage. I am looking for opinions and pros, cons of both. I have read a lot about both but am looking for a good answer from people who have first hand experience with them both. Thanks.

Welcome back. I have them both... When its running my T-maxx is great, its fast, nimble,and just plain fun, but it breaks every time I take it out. I cant even bash it half as much as my Savage or it will break into pieces and it has more than $600 in mods... My Savage on the other hand is extremely tough, it can do serious jumps and can handle anything I throw at it. I've done 20ft jumps with it, hit solid things at WOT and it just keeps going. I have around $300 in mods with a huge .30 engine and it just begs for more... The Savage with some hop ups is also pretty capable for racing. Go for the Savage, you wont regret it.. Tom.

the revo is a better racer and basher then both of those trucks.

Of course there are biased people. And of course you are a fool because he specified that his choices were between those two trucks

My Feedback: (2)

I cant talk for the tmaxx but we have 2 kids ages 13 and 11 that bash the crap out of the savage and dont break it.

savage any day over the t-maxx,just a better designed truck and tougher all around

snoking16

so u have to call me a fool for giving my opinion? he said hes coming back from an absence. you have no idea if he has even considered the revo. so dont be a *****.

I have the t-maxx and a revo. Both 3.3, the revo will out bash the t-maxx. The t-maxx has gone threw amount of parts, but has gone threw a good beating. Actualy it sits rite now with a broken shock,bulkhead, and skid plate. That was due to operator error though, hitting a tree. It is a fun truck and pretty easy to use as long as you know how to tune.

I haven't really looked at the revo a lot yet but i think before i buy i will be taking a look at that as well. thanks for the feedback!

megamaxx

i guess i will be a fool with ya snoking16,ccity,another truck well worth researching is the associated mgt,a very worthy truck no matter what you plan to do with it,
some body call me a fool, i dare ya!!!!![>:]

I can't decide to get the mgt or the gst. I almost want both

snoking16

then buy both...

another amazing truck to think about is the LST2. a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

i loved my stock savy, it was my first nitro RC and i sold it cause i was having diff problems.. later i found out there was a bearing missing in the diff (i was a noob at the time) but i later traded for this savage.....

megamaxx

hey nitrohead,you have any trucks running yet!!!!!!

lol[sm=cry_smile.gif][sm=punching.gif] I have the funds to get the Savage running, but I think I'm going to re-install 6 stock shocks (gonna look wierd lol!) and wait it out until tower gets the HPI Big Bore shocks in stock... Other than that I just need a throttle arm to get the Savage running and 3 servos for the T-maxx[8D]
