the savage can be a fast truck on the track.......like faster then a revo especially with a good driver (yes it can) it depends if you wanna put your money into it or not. the savage in stock form is an awesome basher. as for revo's doing wheelies.......the suspension seems a little soft but ive never seen anyone try. and im pretty sure the lst2 is out by now. IMO you should take the new Savage X for a spin. should be same price (or cheaper) then the rest of the trucks you mentioned except for the maxx and tnx. alot of nice revisions to the truck to make things easier and tougher. for bashing no question about it the savage is the best, you can hit a tree at full throttle and have a 70% chance of nothing happeneing whereas any other truck is already planning its funeral. savages are extra fun in demo derby's
