"a" is a letter?:o Its the normal 2.5 engine, when I say normal it has a different cooling head and changes to the port. I can't tell the difference between the 2 in terms of power output and tuning ease

no leaf clover

Pullstart is good for racing, it sheds a good bit of weight off the truck. E17 is good value for a brand new one.
Jeez your a fast typer:eek:

hehehe typing tutor in 3rd class!!! that, and msn!! lol yeh, and fast at spending money!! ya c i've bin looking to get my savage "just right" but it aint bin happenin, so (altho parents permission would be hard!!) id like to get this and then work on my savage in the background, but at the same time, im gona put in a v. low bid, which will make it worth while, against perfecting the savage!!!

Plug

IMO sell the savage RTR with fuel and get that T-maxx, it will possibly end up cheaper and plus the time wasting of having to look after both trucks.

no leaf clover

how much wud i get 4 it?? like xtra bod shell, 52t gear

Plug

I don't know much about savages but I reckon you could get maybe E350.
Try E400 and let them bargen you down to E350:D
EDIT: I'd knew you'd stop posting sometime, I win:p

dont sell the savage, tho if you want to you can give it to me, no payment hassle needed:D 2 trucks would be nice but i wouldnt switch from savaage too t-maxx, hop up th savage

Plug

The savage x is a hell of alot slower than the maxx. I read a review of both trucks, the savage x went 33mph while the maxx speed up to 43mph anyway the T-maxx is more tunable:)

How is the T-maxx more tunable ?

Plug

Everything in the suspention department can be adjusted, caster, toe in, chamber, ride height etc. The savage only has a few settings for the suspention. There is alot more parts available to hop up the Maxx than the savage aswel. Also I dont understand why the savage is 1/8 scale, how come the T maxx bodies fit it perfect and thats only a 1/10 scale truck. Its the size of the body that relates to the scale of it

g5hn710m4xpdwy

yeah on RCCA the t-maxx was only 2% better, I would still go for the svage over the t-maxx or revo since it has proven to be the more durable
EDIT: that was the Savage X v. T-Maxx 3.3

So if they put a 1/16 body on the genisis (bigest 1/8th) it will bcome a 1/16th sclae truck? ha i doub it it:D

Plug

I have seen videos of savages jump and snap all 8 of the shock shafts:eek: I dont exactly call the durable:rolleyes: IMO the T-maxx and Revo would leave the savage in the dust in a race:cool: The 3.3 is more powerful than than the much bigger savage .25 engine.

Well, The day I went to Limerick and saw the Savage 25 on display I was wondering if it was a savage at all as i was expecting something much bigger.
If anything my revo looked a lot wider and Nicer

And My sons T-Maxx was deffo the same size if not bigger as well.
Like I said . I was surprised as I thought 1/8 would tower over 1/10

Go for the T-Maxx and buy a 3.3 engine later for it..

THIS LOOKS LIKE A WELL LOOKED AFTER REVO

TMAXX 2.5

5 MONTH OLD REVO

Yes in a way(only if it came stock with it):rolleyes: ......I meant the savage is a "1/8 scale truck" and the T-maxx is a 1/10 scale, WTF do they call it 1/8 scale when its not. Supposin if the savage is the biggest RC truck and still has a 1/10 scale body well then its still 1/10 scale. If you had a small truck with a 1/10 body its a 1/10 then. I think they do this just to get people to buy it.

The T-maxx and revo are taller than the thing, so much for 1/8 scale.
.....and yeah your right about the 3.3;)

I have seen a savage jump at least 20 feet and come out looking ok, I suppose there are a lot of factors that have to be taken in to consideration, I have jumped my savage full speed off ramps went about 10-12 feet in to the air and there was no damage whatsoever.
*edit*
I have also hit a tree head on at about 30mph and the tree came off worse

Impressive looking truck, but it still doesn't uphold your "spurious" claim about durability I think that Savge video proves otherwise.
I have posted video evidence to back up my claim
Lets see a counter video !

Did you not watch the videos I posted(kinda) for you?

And no leaf clover just place very small bids;)

tallus

I did, but I didn't see any jumps maybe I looked at the wrong ones?

g5hn710m4xpdwy

your all biased ;-) I reccomend you goto the RCCA forums (http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=114) and post, you wont get such a biased ansewer only listn to those who say they have both trucks (yes there is a few)

tallus

Ok took a look, I looked at different videos first time around, but I still see nothing that comes even close to the Savage jump in the video link I posted.

Well guys.
All I can say is that this is a never ending discussion on every forum you would wish to visit.
At the end of the day, They are both well known and robust trucks,
( well all 3 inc. the Revo)

And in my mind it all comes down to the buyers choice.
myself?
I am totally happy with my choice of a Revo. I would not buy a T-Maxx after using my sons one to compare with my revo.
Then again. my son often has a run with my Revo and is never totally imporessed with it.. he would prefer his T-maxx and says he will never part with it.
I asked him if he wanted a Savage to add to his collection for Christmas.. he said "Nah.!" Get me an FG Monster Truck if you like..!! :eek:
Cheeky bugger..
