I voted savage X... I've had nothing but problems with the revo. There are just too many weak points about it and it's so stinking specialised that you have to buy a specific pipe/header, body, engine and shocks that it really limits your ability to upgrade without spending a lot of dough.
I'm sure it's great for racing, but for bashing, there are just a few weak spots that makes it tough to own.
Even when my savage was stock, it required very little maintenance. Now that it's been upgraded a bit, all I do is bash the crap out of it and drive it...
My revo on the other hand seems to need work every time I take it out. I either blow a shock, mess up a rocker arm, strip a rod end or break a skid plate. It's reminisent of the days I had a t-maxx... It's very difficult to make a revo able to handle 8 feet of air all day long. It was obviously made for a track... so if you race, it's a good rig. But, if you bash, I'd look elsewhere.
Just my .02.
