if i were you id keep the RC8T,the savage with baja 5B wheels on all 4 is going to be monstrously heavy cause 5B wheels are every bit 2-3 times the weight of 1/8 MT wheels,so id see lots of drivetrain components getting trashed (diffs,axles,bearings,etc) not to mention the extra stress on the suspension and shocks,i've seen savage shocks bust apart with standard wheels hitting a curb at 50+ mph,i cant imagine what 5B wheels would do.

so now that i said that,do you plan on racing MT's or do you just want to bash? i hope your not looking for a very stable platform,cause the XL WILL flip,probably alot, as the RC8T is much more planted. the savage will also need some mods to make it as durable as an RC8T,im not saying its cheap by any means,but it is a slightly lower quality RC needing some extras for heavy bashing.and you will have to swap motors,set everything up the way you like (center diff, battery trays,etc).this is just my .02,bu id keep the RC8T.--josh
