Ignore the ignorant post, The Emaxx will handle better and sit a bit lower than the savage, also its completely water proof. The Emaxx isn't near as beefy though as the savage when it comes to the A-Arms and such. The new drivetrain though is solid on it, unlike the previous Emaxx when upgraded. I'm personally not a fan of the Savage layout, but they are still great trucks.

Thank you for all your help so far everyone. I already have a DX3R so the radio isn't a concern for me. To be honest, I am just bashing with it. That's all I want to do. To be honest, I am leaning toward the savage. The only thing that bothers me is looking on the web at videos all I see it doing is constantly flipping.
Is that driver error, or is it because the CG is so high? Walking over to the truck to flip it often would really get annoying quick.

The Savages get driven while the e-maxxes remain upon the shelf of safety. God forbid anyone actually put an e-maxx through the torture a Savage lives and loves.

BOTTOM LINE: you have alot of people saying the same things with a lot of bullshit thrown in. heres what they are saying....and im sure almost everyone will agree with me.
if you are gonna bash MOST (well all of the time)of the time the Savage Flux is for you.
if you are gonna bash and race, the EREVO is for you.
the summit is shit. seriously.
no the summit is good for rock crawling with the occasional low speed bash.
PS, face it traxxas guys. its been proven for years. the savage beats the maxx hands down when it comes to bashability.

How do E-Maxxs fit into this? My goal is to throw a MM setup in some 4wd to BASH. Jump high, hit stuff, etc.

From a personal perspective, I'd go for the new e-revo. The fact that it's 4wd, water-proofed & already set-up with brushless, makes it appealing. Especially as I'm not brilliant when it comes to upgrades/modifications.

Despite what people may say, the E-revo is a great basher, coupled with it's handling on the track, go for it! I have never driven a savage, but the e-revo hands down bashes better than my old e-maxx. It also is way more durable. I only really had problems with the stock a-arms. After installing RPMs, i have yet to break anything!

Well this is turning into a Traxxas "vs" Hpi Thread
I find a large portion of the answers can be byias. My opinion talk to your local hobby shop, find out if theirs anyone running these trucks, see if you can maybe run it once to see it first hand how they run. Best bet hands down!!!

Did anyone else notice this thread is 6 months old. I sure hope OP bought a truck by now.
