RE: okay i can't decide between the revo vxl or the revo 1/10
The 1/10 ERBE is significantly better than the 1/16 version. Keep in mind that Traxxas' 1/10 is like most other companies 1/8 and their 1/16 is between most peoples 1/16 and 1/10.
The 1/10 version is larger, faster, more stable, can handle rougher terrain... etc. If you can afford it go with the 1/10 ERBE.
