It required upgrading because as I already stated, the DESIGN is the best, not the materials. Thus, it has the potential to be the strongest in practice as well as theory.
If you have jumped higher than 20ft without breaking your Revo's suspension arms, consider yourself lucky. The arms are a well known weak spot that most Revo owners upgrade right away.
Anyway, I am sick of arguing with a bunch of biased sheeple who have no understanding whatsoever of materials science or structural engineering. But that is my fault, I wouldn't expect to find people WITH said knowledge anywhere else but on a Savage forum.
