im looking at 2 trucks...the savage x and the t-maxx 3.3, both are brand new and very up to date, as well as fast
i'm currently leaning toward the t-maxx because there seems to be more hop ups and support for it,
but which truck would you choose, of these two, and why?

thanks

Personally, I'd go Revo 3.3, but out of the two you chose, I'd go Savage X. The T-Maxx is known for too much breakage. Savage is known tough, and most all of it's faults have been fixed.

Savage dude

From those picked, I'd take the savage.

The t-max is old technology, I'm not even sure why traxxas still makes it since they have the revo. The revo does everything the tmax does, and does it better.

Even though I don't really care for HPI and I like Traxxas alot if you are going to be bashing and maybe a little bit of racing I would say Savage.

Tune, Yup Traxxas still makes it, and I've seen a few people getting new ones from LH in the past few months, and I've seen new ones on the Traxxas "Surfers Rides"

im only going to be bashing...i might race some friends but nothing too competitive

The savage it the King of bashing dude....

Then I would say the Savavge, if you are looking to upgrading to a better motor in the future, then you have to go with the savage, I KNOW the drivetrain is alot better than the Maxx's. But I think the T-Maxx has more hop-ups for it, the only week part that I have found on the Maxx are the Bulkheads.

Kyle is starting to like the dark side!

yeah, i had aluminum bulkheads, from you lol, I didn't like them, they worked fine, just something I didn't like. I have RPM stuff on the truck all over, wheels, arms, shocktowers, and it never breaks. The only that has broken isd the bulkheads. (which suck to replace).

With a savage he wont have to buy 40 bucks of arms and 40+ of bulks to survive that..
.... No offense

Savage.

dirtguy90 · (#15 (**permalink**))

is the savage x made out of some kind of metal or like that carbon/plastic material stuff?
b/c i know that the maxx is made with the carbon plasticy stuff, which i have on my t4 and it breaks for no reason
