I say savage all the way. You can do whatever you want with it. No jump is to big for this beast. As for the half tank lean issue you can fix that with a little cash. It also makes a great racer if you are willing to dump the money into it like I have done along with many others. I would say that it is the most versitial MT on the market but if you want to mainly race and bash on the side a truggy is a great option. They are tough as nails on the track and hang better than a traxxis anyday of the week in the gravel pits. Big plus is the losi 8t 2.0 RTR comes with a starter box and a great radio in the specky dx3s.
