Thanks again for all the excellent input, I have been a big fan of Traxxas, just wish the Revo came with a big block ready to run like the Savage 4.6ss, not really that familar with the LST2. If you guys had to pick one of the above between the Revo and the Savage for a newbie to nitro, who is looking for the most bang for the buck which would you choose??? Would it be that hard to change the Revo over to big block? How would it effect the drive train, ect. with the bigger engine??? I like the fact that the Savage has the big block already and have heard its one tuff mother, but then again so is my E-Maxx. I just want that nitro power along with that awesome sound.
