T-Maxx or Savage 25?

Go with the T-Maxx.
There are more parts for them and I feel that they are easier to work on (this comes in handy when you break it after doing a huge jump.:D ).
And the new T-Maxx's are really fast.

Savage 25. Traxxas overcharges and has poor quality from what I have owned.

Well, my best friend just got a Savage 25. It is bad ass. Very fast! and seems to be better construction over the T-Maxx.

Savage...the aftermarket is really catching up. The T-Maxx is nice though.

I have to say that the savage is the way to go. HPI made a great first monster truck. I have seen the T-Maxx and it has a million option parts, but the savage is getting there. The one time I saw a T-Maxx run, it broke a lower a-arm going down some cement steps. I wasn't impressed.

T-Maxx. The aftermarket is HUGE! You can repalce just about every single part with carbon fiber, titanium, or aluminum as you see fit. You can get larger engines, or even dual engine set-ups if you want. I just see the T-Maxx as having much more possibilities.

Well if you get a T-Maxx you could make it look like this.
This is my brothers T-Maxx.

This looks cool. Since I don't have an explorer anymore, what are these little trucks good for? What do you do with them, jump and race them?
I like the looks of the Savage 25 over the T-Maxx if that means anything ;)

i have an original maxx, and they are awesome.... the newer tmaxx 2.5 is awesome!! mine is an older tmaxx with the pro .15 engine.....

HPI kits are top notch however, both are great choices.... the tmaxx is a lot more readily available though, so when you brake stuff, and you will, trust me, it means less down time......
