I have owned both trucks in question here.
My opinion is the current e-savage that is already out is a decent truck. It's just a smaller version of the nitro savage and pretty tough as well. It's definitely smaller than the current E-maxx and a tad slower as well.
I would pick the newer emaxx. I think it is an all around better package.
Now if you wanna spend some coin and wait a little longer I would go with the new yet to be in stock Flux Savage. It's the same size as the current savage x with a brushless system installed. The truck is STUPID powerful and crazy fast out of the box.
