IM new to this truck thing my buddie just got an HPI Savage used, and I was looking at the revo3.3 he says not to get the revo but I wanna know which is faster stock RTR and just an all around good truck for rippin around? I think the revo looks awesome!

If he has 1/8 and you beat him with a 1/10 revo ( im shure you would) he will just bich and moan and call you a cheater and say it was unfair. FRom my experiences I advise you to get a 1/8 truggy so it will be "equal"[sm=wink_smile.gif]

munro300

I was compareing the dimensions and the savage is classed as 1/8 but the dimensions are almost the same as the revo , savage is just a bit bigger. So the motor size, like the 3.3 is smaller than the 4.1 in the savage? Sorry I sound dumb but I dont know anythig about these and wanna get a good truck that will really rip and I can upgrade later.

REVO Lover

the revos are more for racing meanwhile a savage has more torque and is a better basher ( tougher) and the revo has way better handling. my bro has a savage and i hav a revo 3.3 and beleive it or not after he did some tuning he beat me on staight drag on the blacktop. oh and by the way a savage X's engine is a 4.07ci and a .24 cc and the 3.3's is, well, 3.3ci and .20-.21 cc

Thanks, for the tip so if Im not raceing the savage x is the way to go I guess? All I wanna do is rip around is this a good deal

Since I have a maxx I will discourage you to get a savage.........GET A T-MAXX 3.3- It is my obligation beause I own one!!

munro300

Yeah thanks alot Im already confused, the revo does look like the combo comes with more accesories for the price but Im just not sure, my wife said if Im gonna get one it better be now because we got another baby on the way and Im gonna be too busy and broke soon![sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

bennyblanco

go with the revo.... i have a savage and a revo and i like my revo more because how it handles i dont race but the revo makes me look like a better driver LOL!

munro300

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LZ0833**ok let say I get this combo what else will I need besides fuel an aa batteries to run it?

Nason

I second that motion!

bennyblanco

the revo 3.3 comes with flatpack and charger thats way i will recommend you the revo. all you need is batteries for the radio and fuel.

munro300

What about the link I put up to the savage what would I need to run it besides the combo ect.? just to compare ya know not like I'd get it or anything I just wanna rub the brand new price in my buddies nose,and to compare to what he paid for a beat up used model-450$ canadian which is like 25$ us

for the savage u would need a glow plug ignitor...IMO that is one reason i like the revo is the ez start. i think revo's are very durable. Also alot eaiser to fix. and have insane power. i have a 2.5r and i think its fast i cant even imagine what its like with an OS or a Picco. but yes defintly revo.

munro300

What is the easy start on the revo? is it just a built in glow plug ignitor, also are both trucks pull start if so will any starter work with them?

carbon revo

the revo wins in every catigory go with the revo, way more upgrades and parts avalible. if you get the savvy you will always wish you had a revo when your out with people who have then. Do the research the revo is sinply a better truck, check mine out, and you will see you could never make a savvy compare.

-EXTRA-

I Third that motion!

i was in the same boat 2 weeks ago. it was a toss up between the savage and the Tmaxx.

the Tmaxx guys said get a Tmaxx and the savage guys said get the savage.

i just decided to get the one i thought looked the coolest.

i got a second hand one out of the clasified section of this forum and i could not be happier.

came with a few allmost manditory upgrades already instaled and was pricticaly brand new.

besides looking cool ,the 2 other reasond were that my local hobbie shop caries only traxxas stuff,so that is handy.

and the traxxas looked easier to work on. it has simple suspention and a simple flat pan chassis,every thing is rite there.

i got the 3.3 and i like it. you will like it to.

and i am no racer so i think things like reverse and optidrive, and onboard electric start and glow is cool as $#IT.

buying out of teh classifieds is teh way to go. i got a set of extra everything. and gears and axles, you name i have 10 pounds of extra plastic crap. i can crash this thing for years and never buy nothing. i even got a set of RPM Aarms uninstaled with it. and a reverse deliet kit. a extra servo and a servo rebuild kit. oils of all kinds.. bodys. tool box , batterys. nice JR radio. extra tires and wheels. i made out like a bandit. rite here on this site.

rc10 gt

i would go for a t-maxx or revo i have both best cars i have ever owned rilli tough buddy has a savage but while i am driving he is sitting on the bench fixing shocks on his savy and so on

Revo!

No Question.

Let us know what you choose.

gettnbetter

I say Revo all the way. It's a very well designed car. Can't go wrong. Suspension and drivetrain are incredible and work perfectly bone stock.

In addition to the Revo itself all you need to buy is fuel, a regular 6 cell battery like in your combo and 8 AA batteries for the transmitter.

munro300

Thanks for your help, Im still just gonna sleep on it . Cant make up my mind

Fiegs

Revo

munro300

so which one should I get?[sm=75_75.gif]

Fiegs

As I said before

Get the Revo

Even if your bashing I would still take a revo
The handling is just so much better than a savage

Do yourself a favor, buy a Revo and never look back.

WarRaven

Just in case no one mentioned it already, Revo.
