first electric off road

[doosh]

hi guys i would like some suggestions on which way to go about this. i own a few nitro rigs and am thinking its time to experience the electric side of things.

i dont race so that will be out the question i am just after a great basher! i own a losi 8ight-t in nitro and love it, i have shown intrest in either the e-revo or the hpi savage.

i will be visiting the states in a few weeks and would rather to pick one up while I'm overseas LA, vegas, new york, texas (ps. i love the F1s) i would love to purchase one in a kit so i can modify to my liking, I'm thinking of shipping it over myself so anywhere i could visit would also be great.

any input would be great on either of the two rigs also any other suggestions

I don't see kits for either the Savage Flux or the eRevo. The brushless versions of both are really good out of the box. The Savage is a bit tougher but the eRevo handles better.

For my money Id pick the Savage but the Revo is ok too

hmm it is a tuff for me to decide. not too familiar with electric motors and lipos etc. i will do some reading and maybe that will be the decision maker!

thanks guys.

The Savage Flux and the E-Revo I believe both come with a rebadged Castle MMM speed controller and a rebadged Castle 2200kv motor. That about the most powerful electric set up there is for 1/8 scale.
