If you've already got a Revo use that, and I don't see how buying another one is going to be cheaper than using what you already have. I got my revo 3.3 (with stock tranny) as a roller it will be running a 9XL on 4s with a MM for only $550 for the whole entire thing. My brother is converting his dual velineon 2.5r Revo to an E-revo, simply by buying the chassis and a few other minor e-revo pieces; you could do the same as well (of course you'd have to buy the e-revo tranny, my brother already had an emaxx tranny to toss in there.) There you go, you got 2 options that are cheaper than buying an entirely new truck, which has titan 550s and a junk ESC that you would have to sell off. IMO, don't get a Novak system, because it's not worth the money; just get a Mamba Max ESC and a Feigao XL or a Medusa motor which is $220-250.
