For a pure all out beating.. the Savage is the way to go. I would probably rate the Tmaxx somewhere around 2nd mainly because of parts availability more than the amount of abuse it can take. Also the LST can take a decent beating after you get the alum diff cases... it will still break some A-arms, but it is probably easier to replace them on it than either of the other two.

I think revo is a good truck. the t-maxx is probably second. I also own a t-maxx and I have Jumped it pretty hard and its never broke yet! I have even once landed hard 3 times upside down too.

If you really want to beat your truck,buy a savage.Not fast enough tmaxx
fans,put the 4.6 in it and we'll race.

yeah,but you have to aluminum your tmaxxs out just to get durability.I'd rather have durability out of the box than have speed.My savage has a stock engine and I can smoke tmaxxs with just some tweaks to the engine.

Actually aluminum bends and breaks easier than stock stuff. If you want indestructable get RPM a-arms. 20 bucks a pair and you can't beat it with a stick! Plus if you DO break it under normal conditions you can send it back with a description of how you broke it and they will send you a new one. I had these on my old .15 pro maxx and barrel rolled it about 15 times down a hill. The only thing I broke was the stock rim and bent a turnbuckle. LOL RPM is the BEST stuff on the market.

NOTHING beats a savage for durability!!!
Over 10 gallons old and lots of 1st place trophy's to prove it doesnt just sit around...
and if this is the beginning of a flame war....bring it!

Go with the new savage it is great , but if you want the best , get a revo , some rpm a-arms , piggey back shocks , clutch , and a new engin , and you will have the best , porformence wise atleast, and this is just my oppinion...
