When I asked here for a clear winner between Savage and Revo, the votes were Revo for racing, Savage for bashing, and mostly because the Savage was less money to start, so if you're only gonna bash, why bash a more costly truck?
I have been 100% happy with the Revo. No repairs of any kind with LOTS of hours on it. Not racing it yet, but not beating it to death on bashing runs either.
The other comments here said the Revo was easier to work on than the Savage. I haven't had the Revo apart to rebuild a diff yet, but you can clearly see that they come out easy.
AND, if you don't plan to get TOO serious about things, the Revo has the press-n-play EZ Start! Way better than pull start or RotoStart, IMO. Racers take all that stuff off for starter box use, but then you have to haul a starter box around everywhere you run.
