RE: Revo and Savage Bashin'
M8 overall I'm extremely impressed with the Revo 3.3, the reason I've chosen to use the Savage for the rough stuff may even be the fact that I can't bring myself to destroy my beloved Revo.
My Revo will eventually be all Carbon fibred up and I'm 99% sure I'll be dropping a RB523 in it to get her really honkin'!!
Oh yeah, about the top speed, yep the Savage X with the 3 speed would have longer legs but m8 you probably won't have the time to use the Savage's top end unless you're on an footy oval or something, the Revo is one agile little piece of equipment.
As you can probably tell out of my Savage and Revo, so far in my experience I would say the Revo 3.3 is the pick, simply becuase it's always going to handle better and if all you're interested in is top speed well then drop the RB523 in her and play with your gear ratio's and then you'll have yourself a bloody 4wd rocket!!
