Help Me Choose!

Hello all,

My name is Caleb, I am from Bluefield, Va and I'm looking to purchase a Nitro Truck.

I see my brothers Savage run around the yard and he let me fool with it now i am addicted.

But i need help on this

T-Maxx?

or

Savage?

Seems like all the hobbies shops her like the Traxxas but in Delaware where my brother live sits HPI or go home.

What do yall think. I am looking at a couple of T-Maxx's and Savage's on ebay at the moment.

Thanks!!!

caleb

Well, if your LHS has the parts, go for that one. Both are good, I personally like the Savage better, but its up to you. if your LHS has a lot of spares or hop ups more than the other, I would go with that one.

I have a tmaxx and like it. My lhs as yours does mostly carries traxxas and because of that I went with a tmaxx. I think they are really about personal oppinion and are very much alike. BTW go to the intro section and introduce yourself if you haven't already. And welcome.

Welcome to the site! I'm not far from you. Ya got 2 pretty damn good hobby shops 20 minutes away? Gizmo's and Appex. Either one carry both brands. Gizmo is more on cars.

Go with the Savage if it is between the two.
Look at the Revo before ya make your mind up.

I'm closer to Appex . but Appex is pretty much all traxxas or well the one in Princeton is when i went there thats all they had was Traxxas. where is gizmo's?


ps.
o by the way lol i could tell by the avatar lol

basically what everyone else has said. get what your lhs carries the most parts for. it sucks when you want to bash and have to wait because you have a couple choices drive a few hours or buy it online.

Gizmo's is about a mile from Appex in Tazewell.
Appex in Tazewell has a lot more stuff. Princeton doesn't have crap. Just some guy that works for him starting a hobby shop.

a mile from the one in Princeton?

o ok i gotcha now.. i been to the one in tazewell a few time the one in princeton is a shed lol.

Naw Bro. Tazewell. A mile from that one.
Best I can do right now. http://www.ibegin.com/usa/virginia/tazewell/gizmos-hobby-2196-gratton-rd.html Got a card, but I can't find it.

Just been down there a couple of times, but he seemed like a hell of a guy. Lot more for cars.

I would also say go with what is esiest to get parts for, I have a E & T Maxx and they are both alot of fun..

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Well for sure if you get the Savage and plan on hard bashing, you'll be replacing parts a lot less than if you were to buy the Maxx. I have a Maxx and it's not exactly frail but the Savage's get-up-and-go prowess is legendary.
