Default RE: Racer looking for a basher MT

Okay guys, lets put this to an end, please. The Revo can bash, there are relatively easy to obtain hop-ups for it to make it into a tough truck. But the Savage can bash also and it was designed for that in mind. And yes, even with moderate mods, it can rnu with, and in some cases, outrun a Revo too. There are a few people here on RCU who DO race and win with Savages, beating out Revos too.

I am replying to myself here so as not to single anyone out. But lets stop the agument, everyone has made their points from their own experiences with these trucks. And for what they are designed for, I highly recommend them to someone based on what he wants to do. But lets not get into an arguent over which truck is the toughest. Each one of these can be made into very hard cor bashers, you might have to spend more money on one or the other, but it can be done. The same goes for making a truck into a great racer. BUT please, dont let your FIERCE brand loyalties get into the way here.

Instead, lets here HOW to make a truck into a great basher. For example, if you love the Losi LST2, lets hear about what hop-ups and mods are the best to make it bash. Or if you love the Savage and want to race it, lets here about what hop-ups and mods make it a great racer. The same goes for a Revo.
