I agree about that- there will always be traxxas and HPI fanboys, but now its emaxx and BL erevo vs Flux. Ofcourse, the flux is the more durable platform compared to the maxx so it wins that fight hands down, but the erevo is a different kinda truck, so I see many noobs scratching their heads as to which one to get.
I've never been a savage fan as I think they look to boxy and tall compared to my pancake gmaxx, but, I dunno, whatever floats yer boat.
As side note, traxxas NEVER admits its mistakes or failings, ever. You cant critise them on the evx2 fiasco when that was first released, or comment on crappy titans failing due to their trucks being overgeared rtr. Woe betide you if you comment on the lovely am radios they love to foist on people too- hopefully their new 2.4 system (love to know what that is a rebadged version of) wont be a let down.
On another side note (you'll like this, but please let not turn this into a traxxas bashing thread), after they ran out energy from repeatedly banning me over there, they have now blocked the btinternet.com email adress (thats a paid address btw) to prevent me from making new accounts (dynamic ip address enabled me to just make a new email sub-account and sign up each time); in short, they have prevent probably 1/3, maybe close to half the UK from signing upto the traxxas forum since the majority of people in the UK have a BT phone/internet account and email address...
