RE: let's talk about the revo
I think the Revo is a well engineered truck. I think they are fighting thier brand name image(in my mind they are anyways). I think of Traxxas as a non racing newb level car company, which they are not necessairly.
I think the LST is riding it name brand and the hype. It is still a heavy truck that already has a .26 motor running near to 3 hp. How are you gonna hop that one up for more power or speed? cut weight and or rotating mass. Increasing hp does not seem to be much of an option...
They both have there good and bad points. I just made a list of pros and cons of each. It was tough to be completly unbiased but i tried. I rated them on a 1 to 5 scale of importance for me and added it up. The revo won by far for my needs and wants, even though it is smaller then I wanted, physical size and engine size, and made by traxxas...
I think, we as the consumer, are the real winners in this whole deal. We have so many great options. Gone are the days of crap cars and trucks. We can't go wrong!
