Once again.. learn the English language or dont even try to insult me, because by doing so you are just making yourself look like a complete moron. 
You offer nothing for this site, you are just a post whore that adds nothing to this site but lame insults and savage fan boyism.

So, which of my English language or grammar was not correct or improper...?
I did not want to belittle you; just that what you have said is really contradicting to yourself and have a bias to what others like...
Don't bad-mouthed what others like in this forum; if you don't know other's cars or trucks well, it's better for you to shut your mouth and just learn something from everything, and everything from something...

I would stay away from the savage x, the t maxx handles better, is much faster with a SMALL BLOCK, and in my opinion is stronger even while jumping, me and my buddy with his savage x 4.6 were hitting a jump in his yard and were getting about 15ft in the air maybe, on the second jump the savage made it came down on all 4s perfectly, coasted a few feet and wouldn't move, he broke a lower front arm, front bumper, bent a hinge pin, and grenanded the.rear diff ( broke teeth on the bevel gear and ring gear).. so just from seeing that imho savages a junk and not as strong as everyone says.. and fwiw my t maxx only pulled a shock spring off and was easily put back on and I kept bashing.
*waits to get bashed by the savage fanboys because I have an opinion*

This is what I've replied him... (#14)
If the Savage landed on all 4, perfectly as what you've mentioned, how would it broke the front lower arm, and the bumper...???
It's easy to be wise; just think of something stupiG, and don't say it...
A T-Maxx, with it's pressed-molded chassis, will not be strong as the Savage X's TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis, not even 50% as strong...
Next time get your friend to jump his Savage X towards your head, and see will the Savage's lower arm break, or your head...

GUYS GUYS GUYS. No need to argue, teh man just wants some help with a rc. He doesnt wanna listen to a bunch of people talk bad to eachother. Everyone has there opinions let it be and ignore the idiots.
As far as the car. Savage x is a great car. I say get a savage. Imo traxxas makes junk besides there short course. The savage x is a better design then the tmaxx, it has a better motor and is very durable. Imo the savage is also a litte easier to work on. Both are good cars and can be upgraded but the savage is the car to get hands down.
Probably top 3 on the best monster trucks out there. Another Great truck is the losi aftershock or the xxl. I think the xxl is the best truck on the market. COmes with a great remote the engine is good the truck is all around good. The remote reads your tempature and speed and has all kinds of adjustments. Its a awsome truck man, its well worth your money. The aftershock comes with a pretty decent 2.4ghz, better then the traxxas junk and losi is probably the biggest brand name out there. Get what you can get parts for and what will MAKE YOU HAPPY. All we can do is recommend and tell you what we think but it all comes down to what makes you the happiest and will put a smile on your face at the end of the day! Good luck to you. If you ever need help please feel free to pm me.

Lower CGs
I used to race it, to be honest, the Savage X is not fantastic on a race track in box stock; but lowering it's CG's (center of gravity - the ride height) will helps it corners much much better.
Solution: Back then, I got those HPI rubber bump-stops, and put it INSIDE the shock cylinders, it's about 10mm in height. You can cut a section of the fuel tubing too. By doing that, you have 'limited' the shock shaft length, or you can choose to replace to a shorter shock shaft.
(I have changed to the HPI Big Bore shocks now, the #A720)
Better Steering and Throttle Servo
Get a high torque servo for the steering, the stock one was weak...
As for the throttle, a 9kg/cm servo should be good enough. Do the OFNA throttle linkage mod if possible, it apply better brake and will be able WOT (wide open throttle), the stock servo horn/servo saver that fix to the throttle servo cannot perform the above mentioned...
(I have replaced my servo saver spring from a Hyper 9 buggy, which is stiffer and provide better steering respond..)
It's not expensive and easy to do, this:
Throttle linkage mod.
Better tires:
Get the LPR (low profile racing) Truggy tires like Crime Fighter or Bow Tie etc... They offer better grip and less side-wall flex.
Differentials
It's important to shim them properly.
You don't need get those hardened machined crown gear and pinion gear, just shim them well.
Also, as the Savage came with aluminum diff cup, it's good to apply a drop of thread locker to the screws that goes into the diff cup, just like any metal-to-metal, vibration will got them loosen after some time.
Use 10~15k diff oil front and 3~5k at the rear.
The stock one was packed with grease, clean them and replace them with diff oil, they will turns better and more consistent.
Universal
It's good to replace the front dog bones to a universal joints, you can leave the rear alone. The stock dog bones is easy to drop out especially during turns, the O-Ring ('cushioning' the ends of the dog bones) that stop it from dropping will drop after some time...
I have also added front and rear sway-bars to make it corner 'flatter', full throttle and turn and it doesn't flip. # 102538 (from HPI) It fits better than other makers 'rubber-band type' of sway-bars.
Anything I have missed or you would like to know...?
