skuzzy12 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) So begins the save for a new car for the summer and i was just after some input on what you guys think. I do already have a Savage XS and i'm swaying towards to Flux HP because the XS is pretty nukeable and i have always had great support from HPI on all my cars and they never seem to amaze me with help and free parts for replacements But i hear alot of good things about Traxxas Now i will more then likely be using only 2x3S batterys to have some fun with the baja and also to keep the 2S for my Savage XS I was just wondering what car would run best with the 2x3S and what upgrades and parts are cheaper to replace if they get broken I am aware the E Revo will handle better but i'm not really interested in that i'm more into jump bashing and having a laugh with backflips and after something that just laughs and bounces away Sort of things i like doing will be shown with this video of my Savage XS So any input on which to buy and reasons to prove this will be mostly helpful Edited March 31, 2012 by skuzzy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Lol here we go again. Been a ton of these threads lately bud, check them out if you can. I'd say get the savvy or the revo. Both strong, tough bashers that will give hours of fun. Both can be upgraded in various ways and both cost the same roughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzy12 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) ah i always see a Revo VS savvy but never anything about the E maxx Think i will go for the Flux HP. be fun to have a big and mini Edited March 31, 2012 by skuzzy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 ive got the savage. tbh your better off getting more 2s, 4s is controllable more than that and its a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The savvy or revo are both much tougher than the e maxx. I'd sway towards the revo but only because I've got two savvys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds savage Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 . . . I have the HP, to be honest you cant get anywhere near full throttle on a pair 3s - front lifts. Its more than nuts enough for me on a pair 2s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzy12 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hmm think it may be the Savage I do like truggy's but not for what i do with them. The one thing i like about the E-revo is the 2 nimh that come with it for abit back up of extra fun. So i'll start saving for the Savage. Cheers for the info's and opinions guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Savage Ordered just now Pain of waiting till tomorrow and the fact i only have 2 lipo's to run with it until maybe next pay day Nice, hope you have fun with it! What Lipos do you have, and what ones are you gonna get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzy12 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 At the moment i'm using Gens Ace 2S 5000MAH 40C But i will be buying some Nano-tech 4 2S and 4 3S 40-70C its about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadon Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would agree with savage being stronger, tougher than e-maxx. I had savvy 25 and I couldn't destroy it. My alloy handle in savage was soo squashed that was almost touching the engine when I was jumping from my skate park and accidentally landing straight on the roof several times. e-maxx..... hmmm. I have lost connection with RX once and run in to a fence destroying bumper, shock towers etc. Savage XL with Mamba Monster is my dream car. Savage HP also awesome car to bash with. Savvy for the win, not e-maxx. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcMonsterBash321 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 for me it would be the erevo all the way!!!! but i do have the mini erevo aswell and it is soo funny to see them togeather..... so if u have the xs savvy then i would get the savage flux hp!!! its funny as..... by the way all three af these cars will be backfliping on 3s lipo HAVE FUN!!!! sorry 2X3s lipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres some pictures with it next to my Savage XS enjoy mate they are loads of fun if i were you a couple of small mods to get out of the way that help are switch the battery boxes around to allow easy access to battery's also upgrade the shock screws that go through with these mine has been through hell and back and never bent a shock screw since. but with the standard ones i would bend one every bash. go for 45mm http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1439.l2649 also upgrade the the bumper screws they go break very easy just like the upgraded shock screws they are high tensile ones and are very strong. again aint broke one since http://www.ebay.co.u...9#ht_3288wt_906 here is a comparison. high tensile LEFT. Standard one RIGHT Edited April 12, 2012 by itsme93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzy12 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Cheers for the tips. Took the beast out and its amazingly powerful so much fun i have not jumped it yet but looking forwards to it. Only slight issue i had was the spur gear came loose but a little loctite should fix that The thing is so easy to work on had the motor out in about 5mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorTrooper Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The HPI suspension conversion kit is also a very worthwhile upgrade out of the box as the stock hubs are made of cheese. This can be had for under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzy12 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have been looking at that. Also thinking of big bore shocks of these ones can't cut it and set of alloy wheels because they do look like they improve the stability a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savvy for the win, not e-maxx. Enjoy!! I can think of a few that would disagree on the savage stronger than the e maxx bit. Come and prove it at tm bash. And yes thats fightin talk god damn it. Bet you savvy breaks before my maxx. Anyone man enough to bet Edited April 20, 2012 by rhyscrash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadon Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) I wouldnt say that emaxx is stronger than savage. Had them both and savage never letme down except engine wouldnt start but this is a different story. Read my recent topic how to make emaxx stronger and you will know why. Pictures included. Savage hp would be my best monster truck. Tm bash.... I'm not going BUT my step son is and he might have by then savvy MM and you will compare maxx with the oposition. All best.
