hands down the tnx is a better racer outta the box....but the savage is a truck that you can beat the hell outta and it doesn't break often and being a ex savage owner I loved my savvy cause she was fast and handled great and I'm not the best at racing but a few of my buggys have tnx's and I'd smoke the everywhere but they always caught up with me in the corners

if your planning at running at the Bayview BMX track the savage is a better truck :O) the TNX is a good truck if you get the pro version, but I can make a savage handel better with 2 mods and still be cheaper then a TNX Pro

some will argue that the savage is hard to work on, but anyone who has seen me recently reparing a savage diffs at the BMX track knows better

The Grandmaster asks this:

When was the last time you read about a Savage winning anything in major race series across the U.S

The TNX on the other hand has won major races across the United States.........

Just the facts

oh this is going to be fun.. lol..

The savage is comming into it's own. It took a while but more and more people are putting them on tracks and doing well with them.. There are some important mods that need to be done and a little experience and knowledge, but it is a very race worthy truck.. you'll see..

As far as the TNX goes, it is also very very race worthy, and if you got the PRO version.. even more so. The Basic version needs some fixin and wrenchin but is still a good truck.

Like somone said above, it does come down to driver ability in the end..
Even more so, it comes down to driver choice.. lol.. did I just say that.. hehehe

Luney just wondering have u raced a TNX? I was just thinking if u haven't driven both maybe you've just raced less experienced TNX drivers with ur Savage. The same is in any case, the SAME DRIVER must compare both to be accurate. Also race results don't always mean anything cause what if the TNX broke something or wasn't set up as well?
