This thing looks *way* better built than the E-Revo or an E-maxx. I have a 3905 E-maxx and frankly I was disappointed at how flimsy it feels, especially the chassis. The plastic used in the suspension is incredibly soft too (yes I understand the need for some flex in a basher, but it's just too much). It is way too easy to strip out. And the shocks, well frankly they were the first thing I pulled off. Don't get me wrong, the 3905 E-maxx is a fine basher, but this Savage just looks so much more serious.

When I got the E-maxx I was expecting to get something as hefty and well-machined as my nitro Revo (which I have hardly run because of my impatience with nitro), but I was definitely disappointed. The E-maxx performs fine, but when you shell out that much money you should get something that has the high quality, machined feel to it IMO, not some piece of molded plastic. It makes it more enjoyable and easier to work on as well, IMO.

Anyway, wish I had waited on my brushless MT.
