RE: hpi rebate
tmaxx is lighter (slightly), handles much better, has an engine that screams and gives the truck a healthy top speed but lacks bottom end punch. parts support is excellent and the aftermarket is huge.
the savage is heavier, handles like a dumptruck, but is way stronger, has actual 1/8 driveline components, a bigblock engine with wheelstanding torque and about the same top speed as the tmaxx. parts support is excellent also and the aftermarket is pretty big, allthough not as big as the tmaxx. my opinion the savage is a way better truck. tmaxx's are good but require a couple mods to be savage toughish (they can never be as tough as the all mighty savage. both trucks come well prepared with good manuals and instructions. hell i think you basically get everything these days short of the fuel.

savage you can run stock for a few gallons, and won't break anything unless you drive it off a 2 story house basically(or do bad 20ft+ jumps).
T-maxx you will be investing $50 off the bat in RPM parts so your bulkheads don't snap in half. Then a bit more fter every jump. Ask shark his views on it seeing he owns one
To make the savage handle way better than box stock, just take the pre-load spacers out of the shocks it does wonders believe it or not.
My Savage X has survived more than 25 20+ft jumps (majority were bad landings) at a bmx park, and still hasn't broke anything.
Only 2 things I'd recommend to get on a savage out of the box is the RPM skid plate(Mine has saved my tranny, and drive chain when I did some bad jumps), and the HPI stop button as it makes stopping the engine a breeze.

RE: hpi rebate
Doesn't stuffing your finger into the stinger work just as well?
I have to throw my 2 cents in and vouch for the Savage also. I've helped repair a few Maxx's and Iusually see damage to the bulkheads. This is a personal preference I suppose but, Idon't like the pillow ball suspension setup. It's neat to be able to adjust the camber that way but they get sloppy as they wear down and tighenting the cap screws can cause the suspension to bind.
I don't see or hear of many busted up Savages. Though Isuppose anything is possible if you abuse it enough.
