Is the Savage what it's all hyped up to be?

[Gee]

I am going to be ordering the Savage XL 5.9 GT next week.

I've read the XL5.9 has been beefed up compared to the other versions. No experience with the the Savage trucks but heard the drive line/transmissions/diff were a weak point. Reading about this truck they have addressed that with the XL. I tried to do some research through threads in other forums a while back. Some people mentioned the 5.9 isn't a real powerful engine (compared to more expensive engines), but haven't found anyone complaining about tuning problems. So it might last long enough to decide on which brushless setup to use.
