Azjc, I've never driven an E-Revo so I can't really offer a comparison. If I had to guess, I would say that they are sort of apples and oranges (to use a tired analogy). The Revo seems more of a low slung racer type vehicle. The Flux is more of a monster bashing type vehicle. If racing is your main thing, I would get a BL Revo. If you like the bashing side get the Savage. It is really, really fun to drive and do hard core bashing, but no Savage is really going to be at home on a race track without a lot of mods.

Rabosi, the outside temp was 63 Fahrenheit. The motor and MMM were not even hot to the touch, so it will handle much warmer outside temps.
