Revo a bad beginner truck ?? I think not. When the first batch of revo's came out, their were some problems with them (rear shock ends) But other than little things, the truck was very durable comapred to a T-maxx which most of us were use to bashing around with. God knows how many bulkheads and arms Gabe and I went through at Berwyn. Doesnt matter if it's a Revo, Mayhem, SP2 or a Jammin. When you get into racing, your gonna brake to late down a straight and hit the wall overshoot a turn and collide with someone or case a jump bad. If these cars were so reliable, wouldnt we leave all our spares at home when we race ???? Things break weather its from lawndarting to jumping tubes. In the 2-3 years I had my Revo, I broke a handful of parts. Like Dave said, 375 + servo upgrades for a revo or 500-600 for a race kit plus a another 500 in race motor, tuned pipe and starter box. I'd easily pick the Revo as something to get into racing. Or a great basher.
