Savage .21

[toscano1]

Looking to buy a 4wd monster truck. I can get a good deal on a .21 savage. Is this a good truck compared to the t-max ?

 

[AC48]

I think it is better than the T-MAXX, just my opinion. If you are going to get a savage get the 25 RTR or the SS version. They are a lot better than the 21. The savage is less prone to breaking from what I have heard. Also the T-MAXX is only 1/10 scale while the Savage is 1/8.

yea the savage is a really good truck, but go with the .25 if you can, but if not, dont worry abot it becuase its still a great truck, i had the .21 truck until i upgraded the engine to a picco .26

PAINFULLY* (i am a t-maxx owner)
I would have to say that the breakage factor of the savage to the t-maxx is the biggest Difference. The t-maxx is lighter, and maybe faster at acceleration, but can barely stay alive for it to get there in the stock form. the savage, however, is much heavier, and the 21 engine has a lot more wieght to pull, but it stays together better. if you want a truck that is easy to work on (but still easy to break) get the t-maxx. also if you want tons and tons of hop up parts, go for the t-maxx. i chose the t-maxx because a lot of people including me take pride in having a very unique ride. but the savage, i just think keeping it close to stock is pretty good for the kid who dont wanna wrench much. i love being very unique with my maxx (already moved a buncha stuff, hopped it up, and put 1/8 scale buggy tires on it (ofna t-maxx tire converter wheel hubs) (24.95). dont we all want to be unique from each other? or would you rather have a truck that looks all the same. thats why i went for the t-maxx. but if you dont have much money, or dont have a steady cash flow, you might want to go for the savage.

(one more thing savage owners who hate t-maxx owners- WHY can't WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!!!)

The savage still has tons and tons of hop ups made for it. Willthethrill is right, the T-MAXX is lighter and a little bit quicker but the savage will not break. I've put two gallons through it with only breaking one screw. Well I have also broken gas tanks but they were my fault. Definetely go for the .25 version, it is worth the money imo.

(i'm a savage owner and i don't hate T-MAXX owners, not all of us hate you, lol)

 

[Willthethrill]

That is good to know AC48
ALSO gas tanks are the easiest and worse thing to break on the maxx. they break and you have a huge greasy mess gooping up ur chassis.

hey willthethrilll are you saying i got my $1,000 from allowance, that just bullshit, iam sorry to sound rude but i hate people saying poop to other people that is not true. it took me all last summer to make $1,000 and it went all tp my savage. YES i do have a summer job, iam a maintance guy for these apartments complex, a savage has a crap load of up-hops so yes a savage can be unique. man i never said anything about hating t-maxx owners, i would love ot have a t-maxx too but i decided to get a savage becuase i got a good deal off of ebay a while back :devious: i did not want to sound rude becuase i got nothing against anybody here but man

Dude get the 25 or the SS you will be much happier that you did

WOWOWOWOWOW
Pissant settle down...
I was just making a observation.
also i just wanted to agree wit u, i know that u had a job. u said it somewhere. also, it is just easier to make a t-maxx cheaper (IN MY OPINION)
I have 2 summer jobs and i use them on my real car savings, so i know how u feel. i pull for people at our gun club and i do maintinance at a health club. so dont get all riled up. if you are happy with your purchase, THATS GOOD. i wont get into your way. i am not saying that its bad. also, that comment about the allowances was from another thread.. sry.
Now settle down and go smoke some weed (jk):mex:

Also when i said can't we all just get along, i was saying it to savage owners who HATE t-maxx owners, not to PISSANT!! k???

(BREATH IN... BREATH OUT... BREATH IN... BREATH OUT....)
Hmmmm... quick to listen... slow to speak... and slow to get angry...

also pissant, you should be thankful, because in my prevoius forum i just dissed my truck... now i am going to cry...:nono:

Uhhmmm I didn't see anywhere he specifically pointed at you Pissant, unless I am missing something? His post wasn't editied either so it's not like he erased a personal comment? You lost me there bud...

And on another note

(btw- i hate all kids who dont work for what they get... screw allowance GET A JOB)

My boy gets $4 a day for allowance, for that he does the dishes, and the the landry EVERY day, does a damned good job too. He bought his first maxx with his allowance. It might not be a job, but he not only worked his ass off he saved more money than I did in a shorter time (I was saving for a savage)

Spoiled arrogant kids that don't have to work for their toys, and don't appreciate them, I got a problem with them too.

It's hard to teach your kid about saving and earning, and working ofor what you getm when some of his classmates are walking around with $150 jeans and $500 cellphones at 11yrs old.
