"Cool": I think a lot of it is the "coolness" factor. The Revo is just plain sexy with the unique suspension, different chassis, and low profile. :)

Challenge: IMO, it is also more of a challenge to convert a Revo because of that suspension. Those shocks take up a majority of the center of the chassis which leaves limited room and options for batteries and other parts.

Parts: One major consideration for me is that the parts are available everywhere! Most of the time a LHS has the part you need in stock. Sure, I could have them could order any part, but that takes time, and I'm impatient!

As far as arms breaking: that's why I get RPMs right away. Sure, they may flex a bit too much for some people, but unless you primarily racing, it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

As far as durability, I wouldn't turn away stronger diffs. Otherwise, the Revo is quite durable. Some of it is how it is set up. If you are jumping, get stiff springs. The suspension is rather soft, but it was designed as a racing truck after all.
