Do you already have a 2.4 radio? If not I think you should get the Flux and put that money saved over the E-Revo and get a NICE 2.4 radio. The E-Revo's radio is still a (IMO) crappy radio. You'd be much better off (again, IMO) with something which has more features than Traxxas' 2.4.

Radio aside... I've had a 3.3 Revo converted with an old-style "slipperential" setup, and I currently have a Savage with FLM extended (nitro) chassis and center diff. The Revo was a great truck but I got bored of it, and ended up trading it, although I never had any problems with it. My Savage had held up great and has proven to be more fun. It's also pushing FAR more power than my Revo could have handled (8s 3700mah Lipo) but then again it is a few pounds heavier than my Revo was.

In short, unless you're only racing MT class, I'd say the Savage is the better choice.
