I enjoy seeing everyones different view point on this, and am glad it hasn't turned into a bit of a flamewar like car vs car threads often do on other forums. Lots of helpful info has come from this :)

I agree an Emaxx is more versitile, and I'm fairly certain its more adjustable (as stock you can't adjust camber, or caster, with the savage? And a lot less shock options). I had brief thoughts of trying to make it more ideal for use on a beach and keeping it (but selling off all the expensive bits) just for that. Mostly becuase I live only 10-15 miles from loads of good beaches, and the UK's biggest mass of sanddunes. But..with a bit of clingfilm and careful air cooling, the Savage should be good on a beach anyway? My Emaxx sure is (although I fear for the 9920 when the car gets a bit wet). Only harm it ever did my Emaxx was surface rust on my diff outdrives, center dogbones, and 2 crap bearings went pop.

Serum, I'd always be concerned for my batteries with it setup like that. I don't heatshrink them as I use a discharge try after every 2-3 runs to keep them balanced, so I'm concerned they'd be too easy to accidently short?
