I know about the Savage X, I've read about it (I was poking fun at ProudSavageOwner because he is quite opinionated on this forum ) Also (from a couple of posts earlier) I wasn't underestimating the trucks Dracy, its that I am familiar with the trucks mentioned, so I have a decent understanding (or I did) of how they perform. IMO, no truck is really better then one truck or the other in this segment of R/C from my readings (besides the t-maxx which is starting to be outdated). The driver is usually the biggest factor in the race, so we'll see how well my driving skillz have stuck with me as time has passed.
