Status: offline 		Basically, i've been saving up for an E-Revo or Baja 5b. Both of which have their pro's and cons.

I like the Baja because it's huge, it sounds great, and is very "mechanical". But the con is they are expensive to fix.

I like the E-revo because it's VERY fast, and replacement parts aren't too expensive. But the con is it has the "kid toy" feel/look, despite the performance.


What are your opinions on these , folks?


Thanks!

I really liked the overall "baja look". The Flux is a pretty neat rig, but I'm looking for something a little lower to the ground. The E-revo has that quality too of being "sporty" and low to the ground, lol.

Status: offline 		They are 2 completly different platforms.  What do you want to do with it?  I have both gassers and electrics and I love em both, but I guess if money was not an issue I would get the gasser.  I love the 5th scale platform. But if you want something to launch off jumps and just beat on I would then lean towards the Revo.
