Well for me the Revo would be a great choice cause my LHS is a HUGE Traxxas fanboy... so he has TONS of Traxxas parts in stock. And the owner of the LHS is a really cool guy and im sure he would help me with any repairs. HOWEVER, the fun choice would be the CEN Genesis LE, i can get this truck for like 40 more dollars than the Revo but it would be on-line... also, my LHS doesn't sell NOTHING made by CEN so i would have to wait for all my parts ( i said nemesis origanally but i jjust like the Genesis better). I want a really good truck which i honestly think the Revo is but i like BIG TRUCKS and the makes me look at the Genesis. I know the smart choice would be the Revo but..... its kind of a smart VS want situation. Feedback appreciated...
