Default RE: need some help deciding..

Are you experienced in nitro cars? If so, the Savage would be a good choice. If not, the Revo by far. Reasons why?

1. Customer support. NO ONE beats Traxxas on customer support. (with 5 years as a manager of a hobby shop, I would know)
2. Traxxas includes a DVD to teach you how to setup and tune your engine
3. Engine exchange program. If you have a traxxas engine, you can send it in for a upgrade or exchange for less than half of the cost of a new one.
4. It's just as fast if your just bashing
5. Handles as good, if not better.



If you have some experience in tunning, and setting up, go with the savage. You can tune it to go faster, if you know what your doing, and you have more engine choices as hop-ups.


I have one of each. Revo with an OS .18 on it, though the stock 2.5 is pretty good, and love the ez-start. I also have the Savage .21 and the new Savage 4.6SS. All pretty good in one way or another, but still no one beats Traxxas customer support.
