For bashing go Savage. I have a e-maxx that I love, but in the process of beefing it up so it won't break so easy I went and spent a ton of cash on it. Now it doesnt break anymore cuz it was so dang expensive I'm afraid to bash it hard.

I'm just starting on converting a savage that will remain as close to stock as possible (ecept it will be brushless) and its sole purpose in life will be to do the things that I wont do with my high dollar Maxx.

My opinion... go with the savage for pure bashing. It'll be cheaper in the long run.
