I would go with the Savage Flux out of the two. It is a lot more reliable. I have found that the E Revo breaks alot of parts, when on a 1/8 track. The Savage handles worse, but it is more durable. Whatever you want more...

I would go HPI, but I'm not a fan of Traxxas either.

I'm so confused too. So many capital letters. It isn't helping anything at all.

There was a comparison thread posted a while ago. Basically the choice is between durability (E-Savage Flux) or handing (E-Revo Brushless). Each has a few minor quirks and they're both good trucks. It's not to say that the Savage handles poorly or that the Revo is not durable. Just a relative comparison.

know the savage flux is stronger built ,but is it practical for every day use . Where i live we get water, snow .all four seasons ,but mostly the rain and snow take 8 months of the year.I only get to ride my motor bike about 5 months at best. So which chioce is better, the savage flux or the summit or e-max from summit. I could change the summit to a brushless later on. So many choices AAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!
