The one thing I don't like about my revo is the diffs. They aren't as strong as the revo diffs, however both diffs could be improved. I think the lst diffs fit in both? |
the savage flux has a much better servo than the previous savages.
the drivetrain on the savage isn't perfect, but it is still much stronger than the revo's drivetrain. the ERBE still uses plastic drive shafts. the savage has thick, almost bulletproof shafts. the diffs on the flux are the weakest points, but usually have no problems unless you like to land jumps at WOT. also, the standing backflips aren't that bad if you know how to do them right. too many people keep the throttle going as the truck is landing and THAT is what is making the diffs shred. my converted savage's motor has more power than the CC/NEU motor and my stock, non-hardened, non-shimmed, standard savage x 4.6 rtr diffs are still going strong.
