Get FOC, and you won't have the problem, because the reverse gears like to strip on BB's

Default RE: revo 3.3 vs savage

both are great trucks... and both can strip spur gears with incorrect mesh (what I believe you are referring to by "poor spur gear system"). I think I've only stripped 2 spurs in 2 years for my savages and that was my fault because I was in a hurry to go and I didn't torque the mount screws after reassembly from teardown on my savy.
The 3.3 is a great racing truck and also good for moderate bashing. With the 3.3 properly broken in (heat cycle method) it really rips.
