There is no better Monster truck.. what makes it a monster truck is the diffs are under the chassis, of course a nice truggy (diffs on the chassis) will be easier to swap and maintain. A truggy is great racing and if that is all you do a better choice of a vehicle, BUT if you bash or play as well as race a MT is way more fun expecially off roading. You can tune the revo's suspension like no other; setup for super high clearance or tight and low for racing. I don't race mine as much lately but I have a pretty perfect race setup that isn't very expensive and will keep up with the best of any truggy on the track with no problem. If you are a good driver the parts that will wear on you are the shock ends & the drive shafts (stretch some over time) but if the slipper is setup right they don't wear fast. Other than that the only parts that break are ones you cause from wrecks :) Parts to have in the tool box = a-arms set (if you don't run RPM), set of drive shafts (ebay for complete or race packs to just swap out the shaft), an extra set of knuckles as they take the most abuse typically. The only bulk head I've ever broken is when I hit a steel pole mid air in a jump after I was bumped by another driver while in the air... I've never broken a rear body mount or front for that matter. I have bent several front push rods (run the red's if you can, much lighter & more durable + they just look cool. There are a bunch of free steering mods that can be done and a few tuning mods that make the steering and handling TONS better than stock box (all free). I would buy the variable rate dampening kit (super cheap) and go with #2 pistons front and back w/ 70wt oils, blue rear, silver front springs. Nice 1/2" offset truggy tires if you are racing on a track are always nice as the stock tires blow racing.
I could go on for a while, but the E-Revo is leaps and bounds better than any other MT from ANY company, nothing compares on or off the race track.
Again as I noted if all you do is race and don't care if you are in the MT class, go with a truggy... cheaper to run, just as fast and easier to clean & maintain.
