Best 1/8th scale on the market for off roading would be a savage 4.6 IMO.

the revo is probably faster just because it is 10th scale and smaller.
You cannot find a tougher rig then the savage. period.
we need a lot more info from you before we offer any suggestions.

looking for smoething that is faster than a reve 3.3 an in the 1/8 scale that i dont have to put a bunch of money in budget is 500$ to 600$ i have 2 trucks all ready tried of running them an then fixing them have the revo 3.3 an the a/e monster gt juat everytime i run them something breaks or gears strip out just run for fun i run them mostly in felds an bmx tracks have 3yrs running them
If using in a field then ground clearence is vital. My savage destroys my friends rustler because of all the drag from grass and clearence. Stripping gears is likely due to poor meshing or slipper clutch being too tight.

You're not going to find much faster trucks than a Revo in 1/8 scale. Your best bet is probably a Savage XL with the 4.6 engine. Avoid the 5.9 as they tend to be hit or miss in the power department.

you could always try electric r.c. you got the brushless e-maxx, the brushless erevo, and savage flux these are all fast trucks and might be what you are looking for if all you wanna do is run something and not have to tinker with it all the time... nitro takes some taken care of all the time but electric is charge and plug and play pretty much, you just need some good lipos to wake up the brushless setups and a good charger witha balancer....
