Hey joelnazab on this site(rc universe) search up revo vs savage ill bet you 99% of people say the savage is more durable then the revo,the savage x ss is almost as fast as the revo 3.3,but the revo handles better.The old savages expecially 21 i have heard and saw videos of people lighting it on fire since they think its not that good-which its not stock.If your jumping or going on dirt 70% of the time get a savage x ss.If your racing at all the revo-the savage will come last stock lol.If your racing be sure to upgrade some parts such as rpm arms on the revo.
Any way with the savage x ss you need a radio and reciever,a switch,servo's,(steering servo around 200oz,minimun a hitec 645mg)a throttle servo,paint for the body,and thats about it.Apart from the spare glowplugs,7.2v battery etc.If your not that much of a builder get a new or almost new savage x ss off ebay preassembled.This is mine what i got off ebay.Yet to get my radio and reciever)
