I'll throw in my vote for a Savage as a basher any day of the week. I have a modded Savage & a stock Revo (except for RPM arms). The parts that I've replaced on my Savage were due to wearing them out. Drive cups, drive shafts, wheels, & spur gears won't last forever on anything. I still have the original A arms from a .21 that I bought when it was the only Savage. I upgraded to aluminum after a couple years just for the looks. The upgrades are fairly common... new engine even though the .21 will still wheelie, high torque servo, throttle mod, skid plates, & an ultra simple roll cage to protect the head. Heck, I'm still running what's left of the original body! lol




I broke an a arm on my Revo as I aborted a jump. My Revo bounced weird right before my ramp so I slammed the brakes & got about 2 feet off the ground. It went down on it's passenger side front wheel the broke both driver side arms on the rebound! I bought some RPM arms & keep it low to the ground now. It's not too hard keeping it off my ramp since I spend most of my time trying to tune thr 2.5R pos that came in it.

Here's a good pic of my Revo.


EDIT: There was a second bar on the roll cage but I broke it. That was my fault, not HPI's. I have enough aluminum rod left over to make another one but I've been to lazy to do it.
