RE: noise level
The avage is loud. I'd say it's louder than a weedwacker, but its high pitched and varies, so it can be annoying to other people. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, but a stock revo is WAYYY quieter than a savage. If you have the money, take a revo into consideration, it is a very good truck, and a lot quieter. I had no trouble running a stock revo in my neighborhood, or even an RB TM323 equipped revo. But when I drove the savage for the first time in my street, someone called and complained.
