Hello, This deals with all the following trucks i listed so.
Which would you say is the best? I'm getting Savage 21 now, in 3 months the tmaxx and then for xmas the titan.
 
Well, I only have a Savage,and never drove an T-Maxx or Titan. But as you might suspect, each truck has its own advantages. So You'll have to decied once you get all 3 together.

Once you get your Savage you migt start buying Hop-Ups for it, and quickly find out that you dont have the $ for the other 2 trucks. In the past month, I've spent more on Hop-Ups that the truck originally cost.

But to be loyal I'll say the Savage!

ITs all just a money pit

here is what I say

Tmaxx= racing more broken parts
Savage = bashing more durable
Titan= Overpriced truggy...X
 
X man, you're a trip. Truggy?? Is that like a Monster touring car? (aka Monster Tar)

Sticking with the thread,
I love my TMaxx. There just seems to be no end to the possibilities for the thing. Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes the Newbie........3Maxxman's twin 4 strokes!

I like the tmaxx my self more parts support right now but I'm sure savage is catching up
 
First of all, if you are getting all three, does it matter which is best? You will have all three. Its like a box of sees candy. There is a bunch of chocolate there, you have your faves, but you still end up eating the whole box. Well except for the coconut crap nuggets

Anyway, here is my $0.01 from what I have experienced.

Savage great strong car, hop ups coming out seems daily. Really great off road. All of the cool new parts are never in stock.

Tmaxx has a lot of support. Part lists go on forever. Faster out of the box than the Savage. Electric start! I am less impressed with the Tmaxx's handleing off road. (I know Ill get knocked for this one) The ones I have seen tend to tip on turns, but there is a lot you could do to remidy that.

Titan. Expensive

:stupid: Even though I have a tmaxx, I have to agree that the savage has a lot of good features and I have been known to threaten my maxx to sell it and get me a savage but all in all , my maxx is a blast. I also agree that out of the box the maxx is VERY easy to flip and to remedy that I lowered mine a bit and eliminated 4 shocks and went with heavier oil (40wt) and trinity black springs all around and now it seem s like I can't even flip her over. My only downfall to my maxx and its a biggie is the attention to detail of my perticular model. I recieved mine with frayed wires, broken motor mount and what seems to be a bunk motor. i emailed traxxas about all this and the bastards turned their shoulders to me saying it was my fault even though my truck never even touched dirt yet! My LHS was very surprised at their email but they could not do anything either considering all returns have to go throught the manufacter. the motor is an absolute tuning nightmare on mine and I believe it is due to air leaks but I have to seal it completely up. Aside from all the wires and motor mounts and countless bulkheads and the possible big block going in it I am somewhat happy with the performance of it. If I were going to do it all over again I think I may go with the Savage but then again I havent heard of similar problems like mine (go figure) so it may have been a bunk truck.
 
i think its down to the question, Do you want speed? or do you want off road?

I've got a t-maxx, I've never seen a savage run, supposidly the savage is better off road, but the t-maxx is obviously faster.
