revo 3.3 for a beginner???
#16
The Revo is a great truck, I had one. The stock 2.5 ran great for about 1 gallon and then a bearing went bad. Is it a pain to work on? Yes. But any MT is a pain to work on. Heck any car is a pain to work on.
Starting out with a nitro vehicle is probably not the best choice ( I know, I started with a TMaxx) as there is SO, SO much to learn. Not only is there alot of maintenance, but just tuning a nitro engine requires some experience. I bought my Tmaxx in January ( winter for me) and broke it in outside. Not the smartest thing, but I didn't know.
I see people saying it's not a good newbie truck referring to the durability of the truck. It does have more parts to break especially in the suspension, and you WILL break stuff, but it's a good truck overall.
The problem is is that it is nitro, and in my opinion ANY nitro vehicle is not a good first car. But then again, I wouldn't have learned what I learned by not having the Tmaxx either.
Good luck either way.

Yeah the savage is a good basher. But in the past few years that i have been in the hobby i have bought and traded many brands. I started with a Traxxas nitro sport and after many others I am back with Traxxas. I have a Tmaxx 2.5R yeah it was a pain to tune at time but thats why this a hobby not a toy. You want a toy then go electric.{ probly gonna regret that} thats just my views. My brother and father-in-law both have savages and we run together all the time. They have just as much down time as i do. and if anyone has watched my videos i bash mine just as hard was they do with no more broken parts. I think if you wanna start with a revo then go for it. If your just learning then no matter what truck you get your gonna wanna pull your hair out. What ever you get just follow the breakin to the T and dont be scared to ask for help. Easier to ask then rebuild.

Sorry to see your thread turned into a pissing contest between Traxxas and Hpi. But these savage owners, well im not going there.

I own the revo and traxxas motors are a pain in the ASS, but this wont keep you from having fun so don't be so ready to dismiss the opinion of the savage owner, however the revo will eat the savage on a track the savage is a beefier basher the revo is pretty good at both. The steering mod listed above and suspension lengthening Part # 5333r center dif #5414 and remove reverse
and it will race good. If you want a race truck(truggy) the Jammin and kyosho in that order would be my choice.

I believe he is posting because this WAS a thread on the Revo. Had ZERO to do with a Savage. Yes his post is out of line though.
Guess this is one way to "scare" people away from the hobby. A noob asks a ? and 4-5 people try and actually help, the other 4-5 people cry,wine, generally act like asses saying their truck is the best and your an idiot if you try anything else. Why would anyone want to be a part of a bunch of people like this?

No problem Dracy69, Your post if fine. The TRX mill is touchy, and noobs will have some problems tuning it. I had a friend of mine tune mine ( my 1st nitro) and it held the tune very well. Guess I became a better tuner b/c of the 2.5. It has the EZ start, which for me worked very well. I got a glow ignightor to replace the blue wire on it after a while though.
