Savage Flux Vs. E-Revo BL edition

Thanks for all the replies guys, I don't usually do any homework before I buy an rc but this one won't exactly be cheap lol.

The price difference is less than I thought... the Flux went on sale at the LHS I work at for ~$580, and the E-Revo brushless is usually about $660. But when priced normally I see what you mean.

There's more I can do with my Savage than I could with the Revo. Some bashing I would never try with the Revo because I knew it couldn't take it, while I do the same stuff with my Savage (although not presently because it's in pieces). I dunno, maybe it's also because of the shock setup on the Revo, which seems like it's never smooth, while my Savage has LST shocks which are amazingly smooth.

Yep, heavy large tires are a quick death to emaxx and revo diffs

Get a LST and convert it!

I did not want to throw that in... Since you cannot get a rtr bl lst I figured it might be more than he wants to tackle. But it is the superior basher to either truck already mentioned.

I'm sold on getting a LST. I'll probably sell the Revo to make room for it...

Get the revo it last forever

No contest

A revo just doesn't last the way I drive.

The Savage is still begging for more.

Hmm, leaning back towards the flux now lol. The radio can't be that bad, I have never used 2.4ghz before and I seem to do just fine!

Another vote for the Flux... It's built very well...

[doo540]

The answer is easy get one of each, (E-Revo, Savage XL BL, LST2)thats what I did.
I would make the flux into a XL version as the stock flux looks to short for me.

[timaneli]

don´t forget the mounting of the motor and esc are way better on e-revo then the flux..
and e-revo have more handling then the savy....

my vot goes to e-revo.
flux only have a better diffs acess but for the rest e-revo is still the most powerfull electric monster to date!!

when will losi launch one monster electric too??

regards

What are you smoking? The Flux has the same motor and ESC as the BL E-Revo.

The e-revo is faster than flux.
e-revo does 65 mph the flux does 62 mph
the e-revo is lighter and more aerodynamic then the flux
plus the handing on the revo is a lot better then a rollover prone savage flux
BUY A E-REVO

BUY A E-REVO

both of them need $50+ in repairs after you crash at that speed

Not overly concerned with top speed, anything 40mph or over is going to make me giggle. I think I have been talked into the savage...If I REALLY wanted too I could buy a new radio for it..However the revo..The diffs would be a pain in the arse to upgrade by the sounds of things.

Also, wasn't looking to start a flame war here lol. Play nice.
