Default revo, t-maxx, or savage

ok.......ive decided on either the revo tmaxx or savage 25, but i cant narrow it ot one. i just want something fast to ride around my local parks and to take off some jumps. i want it to be a reliable and durable machine so i dont have to spend much money keeping it running, but like i said i want the one thats fast and can handle some jumps.

Just buy one ... and be happy.... any of 'em will make you happy. PERSONALLY, I'd stay away from T-maxx, mainly because the Revo is a much better truck.... Any of those choices would make you happy.

is it likely to break though, or is it on occasion?

the revo can jump just as good as any other truck can..and yes it's very durable..get the revo over the t-maxx..it's a lot better..the savage is a very durable truck also,but, the diffs are a little weak in it and the output drive cups wear out fast on it..the revo has really good low friction universal drive shafts and a stout gearbox..all of these trucks will break something when you bash really hard all the time..but the revo is a little more durable in the drivtrain..and it's faster and quicker than the savage 25 rtr...

Cory, any of those trucks would be a good truck. It your looking for something faster and durable then I would probably suggest a Revo. Personally I like the Savage best but it's not as fast as the Revo but it's just as durable as about any truck. If your going to jump a lot or bash a lot then I would probably suggest a Savage. The T-Maxx is quick but has some durability issues, not a bad truck though, it's just if your going to jump it or bash it much I don't think that the T-Maxx will hold up as well as the other two.

Or this one with the Revo (although it has some modifications): http://www.rcpics.net/media/6-5resize.wmv

I would go with either a Savage SS or a Revo. I'd skip the base Savage and T-Maxx if you can afford it.
