Savage Flux Vs. E-Revo BL edition

[Unsullied_Spy]

The metal chassis on the Savage is a plus, I've seen people snapping the chassis on the E-Revos (and I snapped a metal nitro chassis on my conversion). The Revo's handling is a ton better, but the Savage is tougher. The plastic driveshafts on the Revo are durable enough IMO, and when they finally let go they're cheap to replace. I don't know if HPI has updated their driveshafts for the Flux or not, but I know people with Savages that shear the ball end of their dogbones right off.

I think they're both solid and it kinda boils down to which you like the best. I know people with nitro Savages and they're always rolling them over, and I hate running out to prop a truck back up. The Revo has a weaker chassis and bad diffs. With an aluminum diff case you don't get nearly as much case flex which is the big killer of the Ring and Pinion gears on the Revos and the new I-beam style diffs are a huge leap forward from the old ones but in the future you may need to upgrade them. The Savage diffs are a little tougher out of the box but if you see the videos of the standing backflips on 6s and think that would be cool to do all the time you will quickly be shearing teeth off of the pinion gear. Again, they're both good trucks and each has their weaknesses so I'd go for the one that tickles your fancy. I personally like the "truckiness" of the Savage yet the sophistication of the E-Revo.
