We had about 8 of us running trucks. There was lots of jumping out of the way.

ALL of it was driving skills... your Revo buddy doesn't know how to control that truck very well. Plus, I didn't see much of a laid out track, it looked very free-for-all... *shrug* I'm pretty sure your Revo buddy lined up about 2 feet behind you as well... but, that's just what I saw. :D

I agree, your cameraman needs to stand still... either be in the action, or be out of it and use zoom.

Camera man (boy) was thirteen. Yea the track was just made with cones at corners. Tons of fun though.

The story tells itself, I was kneeling down on the left side of the camera, trying to see how close I was staying in the screen, the truck comes in, the front tires go up, steering is gone, and I am off for two days.....

If you watch the left side at the end, you can see the shadow movements..... go ahead, laugh, it is good for the soul and spirit.... Glen

This helps reinforce my claim that Revos suck.

HPI Savage RC- It only reinforces it because there is ovbiously to diffrenty scale of drivers racing each other....the revo sounded a little lean unless he is running a different pipe other then stock, 3.3's with the resonator DC or blue DC have a little more of a lower tone when tuned right in my experiences.

Ummm... how? Because the guy behind the wheel doesn't know how to run it correctly?

I'm not sure... is there a Savage in this pic of the 2008 R/C Pro finals?
http://www.traxxas.com/support/pub/s...s/DSC_6018.jpg

Revo's have taken home the ROAR championship since 2006 (not including 2008... that was won by an LST, however they were on the podium). Revo's have taken the R/C Pro Finals quite a few years as well. How does some poorly-skilled driver with a Revo getting beat by a better-driven Savage constitute it "sucking" ?

You can throw a 16 year old behind the wheel of a Ferrari and have him lose to a well-skilled driver in a minivan... Does that mean minivans are better than Ferrari's?

In [link=http://www.thedodgegarage.com/friends_paul_s.html]some[/link] cases, yes :)

Revo = 6 national champsionships. Savage = 0 national championships. Heck, even the "red headed stepchild" CEN Genesis/Nemesis has even won some pro level races over the years. That's got to hurt. LOL.

That person driving the Revo needs to start out with a less powerful machine to learn basic driving skills. Had a driver with skills been behind the radio, that Savage would've been owned.:D

OK, why are ya'll fighting about roar and other races at all. It's kinda of childish and, umm, if you think about it, kinda pointless.

The SAVAGE is built for BASHING
The revo is built for RACING

The revos going to be a better racer...

Lol Glen! That must have hurt! [X(]

What alot of people dont realise is that racers take just as much abuse as bashers. Why are buggies and truggies built tough? so they can withstand a race. The revo doesn't have its titles for nothing.

it has it's title because there's no jumps over 5 feet in racing, if there were it'd be runnin around with brokin arms...You throw a revo 15 foot in the air sailing forwards at 40mph it's going to break.You do the same witha savage, and it MIGHT bent a body post...you put a revo on the track, and it'll be way ahead of the rest of the pack, takin' the turns like a pro, you do the same witha savage, it'll be rollin on the turns and will proabaly be in last[&o].

RE: MY Savage Vs Revo
 
Its gonna break huh? The front a-arms and shocks are the only things upgraded suspenstion wise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUi9O...eature=channel
Double back flip gone wrong at WOT, lands on engine head and all it does it throws off the mesh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phMzccSohz8

Those are MY vids.

P.S. Just so you know tarmac is ALOT harder then dirt. Please explain why it didn't break if it was supposed to?


This isn't mine but I had to throw it in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djTRma5OkKM
Looks like alot more then 5ft of air...and its not on a dirt track ;)

RE: MY Savage Vs Revo
 
Racer's are, generally speaking, tougher on R/C's than your average basher. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and the many videos you can find on this site are a testament to that fact. But I always chuckle to myself whenever I hear the new racer remark about how he can run the 10' jump at his house all day without breaking, but can't seem to finish a main.


Here's a short vid from one of the last races I went to. You get to see Moo-gen driver Chad May nail a backflip on the 'Sky Jump,' and Kyosho super fast guy Marcus (Anzivino) Neuspeed backflop! He was only a few laps ahead in the A-main when he tried this - it could have cost him the race! But he still won... I think there's about 5 seconds of my gas truck in there too.
Anyway, not all tracks are sissy's!

Enjoy!

RE: MY Savage Vs Revo
 
those are some nice jumps they're getting in there, but nothing like the abuse my savage has received...i'm talking rampin 15 foot the air, landin on 1 wheel, and cartwheeling 20 times...
+I didn't see any revos in that vid...:D
