Does it come with what you would need to charge it from your car? Looks like both come with three channel radio and have reverse out of the box....the E-maxx does allow you to shift gears from the transmitter which would be pretty cool. One last question...which would be quicker and what would be expected top speed of Emaxx out of box (I think LST2 is about 40-45mph). Oh, and another thing, E-maxx is 1/10th scale and LST2 is 1/8 scale (I think bigger is better)....thanks for the help...
This is what discourages alot of people when they start looking at the cost of elec. vs nitro,batts are expensive and so are chargers.
if your looking for all day bashing then the LST2 is your choice,the savage will do the job also but is not as quick out of the box as the LST.
top speed is 44 for the LST that has been proven witha radar gun and no mods just break it in and go,i know the savage tops out around 40 the emaxx is 35 i believe thats according to traxxas.
With the LST2 you get a quality radio and it is almost race ready out of the box and with the recent upgrade to the kit making it a 2 it is a lot more durable for bashing also.
BUT the savage is more than capable to taking a licking no doubt about it.
