thanks for the advise, you're absolutely right about Revo's looks
anyway, a fwe questions about Savage. how old is HPI Savage X SS? is the engine on it any good? I've googled a bit and it seems that upgrades aren't a problem for it, so that's great, but assuming I don't have any metal hop-ups, how durable is it, can it take a beating? I see it has the same chassis design as Kyosho monster trucks, and those have proven to be quite vulnerable to rocks due to exposed diffs and crankshafts.
