i've had both, and it really depends what you expect out of the truck. I didn't like my revo for one big reason...the battery bays were on the small side and it made shopping for lipos difficult. virtually every 3S lipo will fit in a brushless e-maxx.
that being said, the revo was alot more durable. With my e-maxx, i broke 2 chassis, 2 sets of shock towers, a set of bulkheads and a skidplate all in the first week. i knew i was gonna upgrade my e-maxx, so i ended up selling the revo to fund my GorillaMaxx G-4 build:
imo, the GorillaMaxx is the ultimate monster truck build. it's 100% aluminum, and handles like a truggy.
Good Luck

That gorilla is very cool, but so modded its hardly an emaxx more 
Though I have never owned a emaxx, I have owned a 3.3 revo and currently a new bl eRevo. I have never had any issues goofing around, bashing or putting either revo on the track.
This past weekend I went bashing with a couple of guys that had two tmaxxs, one rustler and two MGTs. I drove both tmaxxes and IMO I liked my revo better only because it was more stable on speed, when turning, and over the rough terrain, again at speed.
The emaxx will have more ground clearance, but the erevo with the long travel suspension will be nearly equal, and with the standard suspention, set in the tall position, it didnt get hung up on anything.
They are both good trucks and durability is about equal, as they are both made by the same company for similar uses.
Again the only major difference that I noticed was the eRevo was more stable.

IMO both of the trucks are solid the emaxx is more of a basher and they e revo is more of a racer but the e revo can bash also i bash with my e revo and it takes jumps fine i would recommend the emaxx if you were to get an emaxx would you get the brushless edition?

Personally I absolutely hate the Revo, it's such a downgrade from the Emaxx in quality.
Go with the E-Maxx, you'll be very happy with it. It's a much better backyard vehicle.
I've owned probably 5-6 Emaxx's in my time, and will probably own another eventually. I've owned 1 Revo, and will NEVER even CONSIDER getting another.

You may have had a bad one, and honestly you may hate it, but there is no way possible that it is a down grade from the emaxx in quality.
They are made from the same identical materials. Traxxas does not have a secret plastic formula that is only used on the maxx series and a sub standard plastic recipie for the revo.
Its the same materials, different design of a truck. The true difference is truggy versus monster truck.
