I'd choose the savage. My basic rule, Savage for bashing, TNX for racing and LST for a bit of both. Revo is a good car, just has some weak spots, the Savage 4.6 is going on indestructable.

All trucks have weak spots. I've ran the crap out of and into my Revo and have only replaced push rods and a front diff. I don't know where the savage=bashing & revo=racing came from. I think the Revo can bash with the best of them.

RE: revo or savage?
it all depends on what you wanna do with it.
MOST of the time, owners who buy savages mainly want to bash and thrash it around.
MOST of the time, owners who buy revos mainly want to race, and lightly bash.
its all up to you. we cant decide for you.

I would chose the SAVAGE it is very reliable, and a fun car to drive. It can also do jumps exelent. One guy even put it's abulity to the
test. He made a 6ft ramp the SAVAGE landed without a scratch. On the other hand the REVO is faster. but if your up at a dirt track with
lots of turns and jumps the SAVAGE will do better.
BUT REMEMBER ITS ALL ABOUT THE DRIVER

RE: revo or savage?
From what I hear the Revo also require upgrades. The rear cantilevers become brittle from the heat of the exauhst, the shock rods stretch when using the 120 cantilevers. Also an engine upgrade is necessary because the stock one wont keep up with the the moded truggies. I saw a race wiht a Revo in it. The others (moded truggies) clearly out ran it.
I am also looking for a MT but dont know what to choose. The moded Revo does look good though.
