Maxx or Revo
hey guys
i got a 2.5 t-maxx and i was wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to the revo(better speed, handling, durability) or should i keep the maxx and put a new engine and roll cage, etc...
i would like to hear from you guys how did have a maxx and went for the revo...

RE: Maxx or Revo
i thought the 2.5R was an outstanding stock engine. unfortunately, i sucked water in thru the airfilter, and when it started to run like crap, i misdiagnosed the problem, and put the truck aside until i got the replacement part i thought i needed. by the time i realized the actual problem, the cranck, main bearing and case had rusted pretty badly.

RE: Maxx or Revo
I was going to get a second T-Maxx myself, only because I have soo many extra arms, bulks, and hardware to repair nearly anything. But, I'm seriously considering a Revo, which I'm hoping won't break as many parts so I won't have to stockpile parts for 2 different trucks. I mainly plan to bash. I've heard Savages are pretty tough, but heavy.
