Don't look at the radio to buy an RTR truck ever. Unless they start coming with DX3R's, there's always something to upgrade to.

2.4ghz in a TQ3 case is hardly a decent radio. It's Traxxas' way of controlling the glitching that arose from using the MMM/2200 combo. The Savage Flux has an FM radio system that, if memory serves me right, is made by Futaba. Both have entry level radios.

The Savage will be more durable in stock form, but the Revo is no slouch in the durability category either. I have raced a nitro Savage before, and against a Revo. This was back before the days of BL RTR's were even thought of. My Savage was ALWAYS behind the Revo, and when I drove the Revo, it was ALWAYS in front of the Savage. The Revo's handling is far superior to the Savage's no matter what you do in the way of setups. I tried, and ended up bashing the crap out of the Savage instead of racing it.

Basically, if you're bashing, get the savage. Racing, get the Revo. If you want to bash and race, get the Revo.
