Is this a good setup for a beginner just looking to thrash around street, jump curbs and run in a nearby park? Does it have reverse and what is it's top speed out of the box? I assume it runs 8-10 minutes on a tank?

The savage X does not come with reverse.
None of the savages come with reverse.
You can buy a reverse module and install it
but you'll need another servo for shifting from
forward to reverse. Also I've not been able to
find out if you can install reverse in savage X.
I wouldn't buy the x as a first truck. It only
comes with a two channel radio, so if you
did want to install reverse you would have to
buy new 3 channel radio and receiver. The Savage RTR
and the savage LE both come with 3 channel
radios and you can put reverse module in
them. I just bought a new Savage LE two weeks
ago for $425. I bought my son a 25 RTR in 2004
for his tenth birthday and he does well with it.
