I think it is just plain old funny when there is hundreds of people sitting here complaining about their t-maxx but still people choose it over the savage. Personally I have never had a t-maxx, i have had an e-maxx and I know a few people with t-maxxs that i bash with. In my experience and i think with a lot of other peoples my savage is just flat out better than the t-maxx no matter what. Yeah the savage may be slower by what 5mph but I would rather lose that 5mph than spend tons of money on a t-maxx just to be able to drive it for a whole day without breaking. Everyone who is new to this hobby thinks that speed is the most imprtant thing but its not. Speed is great and its fun to go fast but when you have something like the t-maxx that is very small, and very lightweight going 40+ you are breaking more parts. Speed to a lot of people does more harm than good. If you want speed with the savage all you have to do is stick a .25, .26 or an 8 port and spend a MAX of 200 and you will be faster, and your already more durable than the t-maxx. Like i said sure the t-maxx is faster but when you have to pay so much more to get it to even run for a whole day its ridiculous. You can buy the new .25RTR or SS and you are already up to the speed of the t-maxx and you already are more durable. The wheel stripping problem on the new ss and .25RTR has been fixed and so has the tank problem. It also comes with upgraded parts for even more durability. Another thing I have seen a few people saying they spent 410 on the new .25RTR and thats only 10 bucks more than a t-maxx. When you sit here and look at the plain facts right in front of your face the savage will come on top no matter what. The fact is the savage is just better.Hands down end of story...later

ORIGINAL: BlackFox
why is this version so frowned upon? what are the differences between the 21 and 25?

T/E-Maxx will break bulks, A-arms, shock towers and axles in no time at all. I'd still recommend it but I'd buy one off ebay that already has the aluminum and steel parts. You run the risk of getting a bad motor but you'd still be ahead in both money and time.
