You are going to have a problem.

HPI guys say Savage
CEN guys say Genesis
Associated guys say MGT

You gotta make the decision, we can't make it for you.

Being in the savage forum I think you'll get some biased opionions. but I'd get the savy or MGT. Genesis is just too big and heavy to bash like the other 2 IMO

IMO the best thing you can do is the research....find some folks with the AE and the CEN, and someone with a Savage X that has ext TVP's and like a 30 size motor and test drive them, ask them what issues they've had, likes and dislikes, upgrade-ability, oh and product support at the LHS and through the manufacturer.....etc. And consider this how soon do you plan on acquiring this item? The XL won't be in your hands until april...

At least you didnt ask the same old question Savage or Revo, you could search and find a bunch of wasted threads on that one.....

Good luck,

~Doc~

Oh and BTW make sure you choose the right one for YOU...not based on anyone else's preference but your own. You will be much happier in the end.
