Such shiny tires and wheels...
Brand loyalty? Haha, yeah for me I usually stick with Traxxas when I can. Their models are engineered very well and are easy to use. Their customer support is also second to none. I had three Pro .15's and they replaced all of them (It was a poor engine that I'm glad they replaced, the 2.5 is just a sick stock engine
). They also will gladly send you parts that might have been faulty, which according to the Traxxas forums, lots of parts are covered under them, so you know you won't get screwed if something breaks and it's not your fault.
Plus if someone comes up to me that has never seen a real R/C before and asks if they should get one I can definitively say yes because I know they will get a product they will be impressed with but also find friendly to use which is something newbies and pros can appreciate.
Congradulations on your purchase, Revos are fine machines and you will have a blast tweaking the suspension and beating truggies. Mine is great. I suppose you have already spent the better part of an hour just watching the suspension compress?
