Ok, how about an aftershock/baja, or a savage. Both of them are great bashers.

The Savage is a GREAT basher, just a bit harder to work on than others.

You allready have tons of spares for a Revo, it's a great truck, and any spares you don't have are easily obtained. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

ya usually that's how it goes
but idk...
I could buy a savage then w the money buy the ssame amount of spares
im thinkin savage revo or the mgt.
just need to debate it.
ik the revo in n out but buying and trying new things are what I love to do
I've hd a savage before but couldn't get it tuned right
this was a couple years ago and n.ow ik way more. b ut still it is a hard decision.

I would say Revo 3.3 if not some other Traxxas truck. Traxxas MT's all the way!


BL Revo: CF G2R, LMT1940/7, 6S FP 30C Lipos, MMM, Hitec 5955TG
CRT .5: 7075 Ext Chassis, LMT1930/7, FP 25C 3S Lipos, MM

Actually - I know not a full MT - but i'd either fancy swapping out my nitro revo out for a nitro CRT .5 or baja ss...

Think they would be more fun...

I just buy the Savage XSS, it's solid as rock and very powerfull engine.
I've put Ofna full offset wheels with paddle on it, that's incredible

Yeah, I'd vote for the Sav too - I have an older 4.6SS. Once you realized these engines were air leaks waiting to happen and sealed it up out of the box, they ran pretty well, at least mine has been reliable. I've had to strengthen the diffs - alum cases, cups and bulks, but other than that, its just been maintenance.
