I'm trying to decide whether to get a REVO or TNX, please help. Keep in mind my budget is kind of tight and i LOVE hitting jumps!

I owne a tnx but probably everyone that will reply will tell u to get a revo..Cause its made by traxxas and is very popular...The revo is more popular than the tnx...Do like everyone else and gets whats popular...

I would get the TNX, i heard nothing but good about it.

I like to be different, I pride myself on it. Geeze, i dont even listen to rap! (unlike everyone else in my town)

It depends what you want man. And how much money you have. To me, the Revo is more appealing. The TNX is cool too though.

Revo
-TQ3 radio is a POS. I'll be switching that right away. Minimum cost for me would be another RX for my XS3 radio. ($75)
-Steering servos are still the 2055???? WTH Traxxas??? Throw those away. (another 130 dollars for 2 decent torque servos)

TNX
-Shocks??? Throw em away. Stock TNX hsocks are total garbage. (60-140 dollars)
-RX battery (30 dollars, TNX does not come with one, the Revo does, and a charger)
-Replacements people!!! I always hear how good something is, or how bad it is. I never see that anyone takes into consideration the cost of replacement parts. Tamiya is known for high cost replacements. Go price a body, and some stickers!

Those are just a few things to help you decide. It all comes down to what you really want though.

If I had to choose I would get the TNX as I'm a die hard Tamiya fan but the revo does look good.

That's a really tough one actually. The Revo's really cool but I like the extra power that comes with the TNX from the .18 OS designed engine. It's very durable from everything I've seen it take, plus you'll get people asking you about it when you go to the hobby shop.

Here is a pic i really like, of a well setup TNX. I might have to add one to the collection some day.

i find myself saying this often.. the tnx is awsome.very durable and powerful. i would highly recomend one.

thanks for the great pics and info, i was planning to get new shocks anyway. I didn't know that the REVO remote is a piece, al i knew was it looked kinda goofy. Thanks again.

Dam those TNX's look sharp in those pictures, I want one.

also consider what parts you lhs carries, unless you will order everything on the internet then this doesnt matter. but alot of lhs's carry traxxas parts so might want to take alot.

My bad luck with my 2.5 tmaxx made me sell it, and I bought a tnx for 379.00 shipped from ultimate hobbies. Like people said if want big time parts support, go traxxas, but im going to take a chance and hope the tnx turns good.

static-tnx

Please keep me posted on how it turns out, also how much did you spend on everything? thanks

silverman1

379.00 i already have the start up equipment, fuel, and battery packs. My advice by a rechargable glow iginter, fuel, and some spare glow plugs. The truck does come with a glow igniter, and some other start up equipment though.

well as far as spar parts a concerned you wont need much i have broken a tank,and 3 axles as well as some spurs.all this over 3 1/2 gallons of hard racing and bashing. you can get the parts fast through tower or ebay.just stock up on em.

parts supply with traxxas doesnt weigh my buying options,what do you want ? a truck that breaks alot that you can get parts for or a truck that breaks once in awhile you have to order parts for ?

ThermalRD

Yes, those pics certainly have that "buy me, and race me" kinda appeal dont they. Heres some more...

twisted

i gotta get me a 2 stage filter!

gqual

my savage was a piece of *****, untill i got integy shokcs, tsais pipe, dualdisk brakes, 40 series wheels and tires, motor saver air filter, picco .26 and nova cooling head, better servos(hs-645 mg not so fast but ok) and a fwe more things now is better i wil be getting a revo, thetnx comes with a .18 nd the revo .15 but you can bolt an os .18 right in, i better wil get a revo because of part aviability and the revo its very durable too( after the vid a saw of it getting slammed into the truck[X(] i think isvery well made)

How durable is the TNX along side the Savage? Those pictures thermal posted made me want one so bad. If its near as durable as a savage im sold.

id say get a revo, mine is fantastic, it has great handling, and its a great jumper. it can also take a good beating.

repete

TNX..cost less..and with new shocks...is faster on the track...better motor..and the truck just looks good with the body on

static-tnx

Lol, people sound funny in slo-mo!

twisted

the tnx is a very durable truck. get one, you wont be disapointed.
