If your just bashing i would go with the savage or the mgt.
REvo is a racer.

Status: offline 		See what your lhs supports better. I own a Revo and a Savage X SS and both are great trucks! you won't be disspointed with either truck.

I've never owned a MGT but have worked on a couple of them,never played with the suspension either but the Revo does have more ground clearence then my Savage. The Revo has more adjustibility the any other MT out there.

Both Trucks at suspension fully extended (Revo has Long Travel kit on it).

Status: offline 		Dirtrunner-The revo comes with the long travel rockers and springs. My revo could of setup a little bit higher in that pic since the pushrods were set in the middle on the a-arm. Either way man you will be happy with any truck you get aslong as it's a revo or mgt or savage or even a lst

Status: offline 		Just remember that more ground clearance looks cool, but it means more roll-overs at higher speed. IMHO, since your friends have Revos you should get a Losi MT or an MGT.....just because they're BIGGER!
Don't worry, whatever you choose you'll more than likely be happy with it.
