Savages are not the indestructible monsters that many people say they are. I've seen all kinds of savages breaks diffs, crack Gas tanks, bend shock shafts and break all kinds of parts. Plus the Savage X has lighter arms with less material in them so its unknown if that weight reduction has compromised the strength of the savage arms. bottom line is if you crash into fixed objects they will break. Unless its a full supermaxx.. lol.. in that case it will probaby break whatever it hits.
Also consider this.. the t-maxx has always been a good deal lighter than the savage and with the power output of the 3.3 the tmaxx will have a much better power to weight ratio than the savage.
the new Maxx bulks...
From looking at the exploded views and pics the new bulks appear to have extra material around where the chassis bolts to the bulks plus they eleminated the pockets on the bulks opting instead for just some minor webbing, as well as a diferent material. It should be stronger than the old bulks but who knows.
I think you should buy both.. then crash them into the same objects at the same speed repeatedly and see what breaks. lol!
