I can't say if the Savage is bad or not cause I've never used it, but if the hobby stores near you are like the ones near me, Traxxas parts are much more common then HPI parts, which is the world of difference when you break something.

Yeah I looked at the wall of parts and 60% of it were parts that were for the T-Maxx or would work on the T-Maxx

Have fun man. After about four or five tankfuls, you can lean it out a bit and go full blast. Be sure to stock up on glow plugs though. 10% nitro usually is a little easier on plugs than 20%. But they fly with 20%. It's a tradeoff.
Here's a pic of my truck with the monster truck tires.

A little smoke means your mixture is slightly rich. The more smoke, the richer it is. You want it to just barely smoke when your breaking your engine in. Then after the break-in you can lean it out a little to just where there is a hint of smoke.
On my Torx .16, the mixture screw is supposed to be 1-1/2 turns out from fully closed during break-in. Then I turn it up to another half turn (2 full turns) to lean it out.
