Hello all.
I'm looking to get a Revo over a savage! The only time I've seen a revo in action is on vid's seen lot's and drove savages here and thiere but the Revo looks more stable to me .. Is the Revo reliable? and more nimble than any other MT'S?

Thank's for any input. :)
 
The Revo is very reliable. I have beat the snot out of mine and the only thing that has broke was a couple of shock ends which are easily replaced. It is also much more nimble than my Savage, LST or MGT.
 
The short answer is yes, the Revo is a good reliable truck. This has been talked about quite a bit, so you might try doing a search there should be a ton of info on that topic.
 
I beat the poop out of my truck with a .18TM and have never broke anything more than a spur.
 
My Revo has been very tough. IMO, the best racing MT, as well.
Be forewarned tho, the 2.5r engine will be worthless after 2-3 gallons of fuel run thru it.

having said that, Id still buy the Revo over the others.
 
Yep, a good truck and now there are plenty of upgrades for it. I just put the RB TM 323 motor in mine. Like night and day.

As to handling, it is different than what most other MT's handle like due to the F1 inspired shock set up. Kind of walks over rough terrain rather than bounce. Hard to describe until you drive one.
 
Not having own one, but driven one on a race track, the handling is very good. Is like wheeling around a Stadium Truck. Suspension is very plush, and the steering is always there. Very good truck. Seen them break a bit too much for my liking though. But still it is one of, if not the best out there right now.
 
just today i was bashing with my revo and i hit ramp i had setup, i had a bad launch and it went sailing all crooked and stuff and I thought t myself "oh this is going to cost alot of $$ when it hits" well, to my suprize not a scratch. It must have endo'ed 20 times...this thing is durable as hell.
