RE: E Savage or E Maxx?
Which ever one would be easiest to convert to Nitro 
but more seriously and I'm not a Traxxas fan but there E-Maxx is a pretty stout truck after you do all the upgrades with the bulk heads and arms. Its definably faster than the e-savage. On the same hand I woudn't put the T-maxx on the same page with a Savage XX nitro. HPI makes some great products but I would have to give the edge to Traxxas in this case [&o]

RE: E Savage or E Maxx?
I think toughness and reliability are in the Savage's favor - electric, or nitro..
I asked this same question three years ago, and was overwhelmingly advised to get the E-zilla at that time. Which I did.. I sold it though cuz electric just isn't for me..
Only advantage of the E-MAXX is that it looks better(and is slightly bigger..) The plastic is all the same as the T-MAXX though, right? So breakage is still most likely a concern...

RE: E Savage or E Maxx?
I guess the diffs in the Savage are a weak point. I suppose thats if you change the motors out. The plastic seems strong.
The T maxx seems like the tranny is beefed up, I like the 2 speed option. But it seems like you need to buy new skids if not a whole RPM set up to beef it up. Thats $100 for all the RPM stuff.
