Default New truck?

I have a revo 3.3 I ll like to add another truck to my hobby. I ll like to try electrc this time. So I have narrowed it down between the E-maxx and the E-revo. It ll just be for fun use no racing or anything like that I ll just be hitting jumps and stuff I have set up for my revo 3.3 truck. So what one would you ll say is better and the better truck and etc?

grab a set of 3s lipo's, 5000 mah and at least 25c. make sure they will fit the revo battery boxes before you buy them. you are looking at the brushless edition right?

The battery boxes on the E-Revo are just a tad bigger than the one on the Savage XS.

Having owned the E-Revo, E-Maxx and Savage Flux. Your best truck to go with would be the Savage Flux or Savage 2350.
