The Savage is a blast and without question a better basher. It has a ridiculous amount of power and a seemlingly solid drive train. I threw it up in the air so it would land hard and knock some of the snow off. The springs didn't even bottom out. This thing is solid.
That said, my BL E-Revo is without question a better racer. It seems to have better weight distribution, handles better, and of course is lower to the ground. On a track I'd definitely expect the win to go to the E-Revo. I've got my E-Revo built for track and it hugs the corners. The Savage would flip at the same speeds.
The Savage however can certainly go places my Race-Setup E-Revo never could. Better clearance and durability means I can run it on pretty much any terrain with no issue whatsoever.
As for which is a better overall vehicle, I'd be hardpressed to answer that. The E-Revo is definitely more versatile. It can be set up for better clearance, and with RPM all around it's pretty much just as durable as the Savage and doesn't seem to have the Diff problem that the Savage is notorious for. Stock, I'd say the Savage is the overall better vehicle, but with a few mods I'd say the E-Revo is just because of it's versatility. (And if you're anything like me, you can't leave anything alone. Keeping my Slash stock for stock class racing is killing me. I'm already planning a list of mods for my Flux)
I bought the Savage to be a basher and I'll leave my E-Revo for racing. Tomorrow I'm actually meeting up with a buddy who has a BL E-Revo (MMM/Losi2100Kv) so I'll let you guys know how it compares side by side. Don't expect anything too thorough however until the snow melts. We're pretty much limited to packed snow running for right now.
