if you go to savagecentral.com they're going to beat you senseless until you say "savage is the best." go to a traxxas forum and i don't have to tell you what they're going to say.

i know quite a few people here may have both revos and savages...but i just think the savage is all round more durable. I should say though, it is more that...there are certain things I would attempt to jump off of with my savage that I would never do with my 3.3 Revo.

it's true that the revo suspension is more advanced but man the savage takes a freakin beating...only thing i've ever replaced on my 4.6 kit for the past year is air filter and one way bearing. I use it ALOT.

If you're going RTR then I would go for the Losi LST2 simply for the incl. JR XS3 Radio system, good combo of race and bashing ability + it's nice and big - true 1/8

I also think the Savage looks better in that it looks more like a real monster truck...not just the body, but the proportions - personal pref I guess and if you're going to stick to nitro...I just prefer the sound of a really big big block engine.
