RE: Which is the better truck for me?
If you plan on straight out bashing out in the woods and stuff, then the Savage is probably a better choice for you. It's pretty much the undisputed king of durability. The Revo is more of a race truck, and although it my be holding up nicely for some, it was engineered for the track first and the backyard second. Plus the Revo's engine (TRX 2.5) is not a good engine for a newb. It's a finicky engine that may drive you nuts if you don't have any engine tuning experience.
