My maxx needed a lot of work so I decided to sell it for parts to my
buddy. Now for my next truck I'm torn between these 2, the price
difference between them is not really an issue.

Question is what would you guys do? do you own one? what's your
experience with it? good, bad?

BTW
Most of the running I do is my friends in parks and construction
sites.

Any input you have would be helpful.

Thanks

I'm a dedicated "late adopter" of things RC. Personally I would choose
either a Savage or another T-Maxx. Actually, a Maxx

The savage will soon have a "drop-in" 3-speed trans option for better
take-off and top-speed.

Those multi-clutchbell things usually aren't too bad. I'm more
worried about it overdriving the brakes/steering.
