I wish I could tell you how tough the electric savage it but I can't

. My nitro savage though is a tough little beast even though I did rip a wheel off it the other day. The plastic has taken some serious abuse over the years and I did hit a tree stump full speed. It was easily fixed though and up and running again in no time.
Personally I would say if you want a MT do a savage or an LST (yuck, imperial screws) if you want a truggy build a truggy. I wouldn't go half way in between.
