Revo or Savage ? (please don't bash me)

[vbgagnon]

twin vertical plate...every thing is bolted to to upright plates that make up the chassis.

Molded chassis is just taht one flat, in the revo's case very unique chassis.

TVP is messed up to work on the first time or 2 ya have to take it apart. Seems like you are taking more apart than ya need to.

After that is seems easier to work on than your other RC's. Don't know why.

Yeah TVPs are kinda a pain to work on but a far better design I think. I LOVED working on my Tmaxx (Which was often) because everything was so flat and laid out, but I wouldnt trade 2 of my Tmaxx's (That had over $1200 into) for my Savage (basically stock).

so then overall, better the revo for racing. Cause these guys doesn't use high jumps. Thinking about getting the revo

 

[4u2nv]

Revo has better handling, but the savage is tougher. If ya plan to eventually race, Id get the revo. If your looking for to bash and punish the truck, get the savage.

 

[daakeung]

Hey I was reading around some more, is the revo more ajustable of the box than the savage ? (ride height etc)

 

[daakeung]

also, which one has a better suspension. The tech notes look like a foreign language to me

I like the Revo suspension, it's new to rc MT's and is very smooth,but the Savage suspension works very well also, it is very hard to bottom out a Savage.

 

[SVORay]

Thats a hard choice for sure. They both got support and aftermarket parts out the butt like crazy. I'm ordering me a Revo after seeing some of the videos people has made bashing one around. It should handle everything I can throw at it....well except that mail box I married my friends Tmaxx to :OMG:

 

[daakeung]

haha, heard about the mail box incident. Your friend heard yet ?

Is the savage's suspension adjustable out of the box?

 

[Vincemaxx119]

Yes, the Savage's suspension is adjustable right from the box, form shock position to camber. Very long shocks by the way.

 

[SVORay]

haha, heard about the mail box incident. Your friend heard yet ?

I've tried yesterday and today with no luck. I need to make sure he has insurence to cover that scratch it did to my mail box :ha ha: J/K I'll give him a shout later on today.

 

[daakeung]

I'm sure he's gonna wanna try your tuck now

okay, made up my mind
the savage. YAY!!!

which one is the best to buy ?

 

[daakeung]

doesn't matter if it's rtr or kit
