4mm 6082-T6 TVPs, 3mm 6082-T6 engine plate, 7075-T6 hinge pin braces, 6061-T6 bulkhead plate braces, 6Al-4V titanium hinge pin braces and turnbuckles, original style Nylon suspension arms (tougher than RPM arms), all nylon bumpers, skid plates, and shock towers, etc. I'd like to see any Revo take even half of the beating an "intelligently" modded Savage can.
LOL... I'd put my stock TM323-powered Revo 2.5 against your "intelligently modded" Savage in a bashing contest... ANY day...
Then, I'll take that same setup and wipe the floor with you on handling, top speed, AND accelleration. [X(]
Then, while you're fixing your Savage's bent TVP's... I'll be breaking in my LST2.
Yes, because it is possible to bend properly designed 4mm thick 6082-T6 aluminum TVPs under any practical bashing conditions.
Your Revo's chassis would bend in half before my TVPs even began to undergo
elastic deformation. But before that, you would be snapping your brittle composite suspension arms, and ripping through your 6061-0 butter soft hinge pin braces.
And as for the LST, well, aside from the broken low impact strength composite suspension arms, this picture speaks for itself.
I would also dust both of your trucks in top speed and acceleration using my Picco 28. Handling is the only advantage you would have, but with my 1.25" extended chassis and 1" extended width, it wouldn't be a significant difference while out bashing.
