Status: offline 		Ok, I have a Tmaxx, looking to add another truck to my collection. I was wondering your opinions, good and bad on the Savage SS and Revo. I am considering the savage because its a kit and I would rather build than a RTR. However I have heard nothing about the 4.6 engine. I am looking for just bashing fun, racing w/ friends but no sanctioned competition.

Having a Tmaxx I realize I will probably end up putting a OS18tm in the Revo. I hate the 2.5, but the revo otherwise looks like a great truck. Your opinion and WHY is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Harvick

Status: offline 		If you go with a revo, I'd highly reccomend getting an RB TM323 versus the O.S. .18TM simply because the O.S. has a little less power. If you are only bashing, you may want more in the long run.

I also own both, but the Revo is probably a better choice as you are already familiar w/ Traxxas products.

Status: offline 		and the revo weighs quite a bit less than a savage, but you can use the same motors with a new mount. a revo with a 30 will smoke a savage with a 30.

I run a Tmaxx,Revo, and I fly a Savage...

Status: offline 		Ok, if you got a stock revo and a stock savage 4.6 which would win in a race? (put you bias pride away revo and savage owners) Honest answer. I think savage, it has more stock power.
