WEll id say to go with the erevo not because its more durablile because it is alot more nimble on the track... I'll admit it if your racing any MT it is more surviving the whole race then skill
... But ive seen revos as well as savages break halfway through the race.... It doesn't matter how tough your truck is if you pile it into walls and flip upside down lots somethings bound to give. So in my opinion its really watever you want i personally went with the erevo and well its an awesome truck not to be rude or anything but honestly usually the top three trucks are revos i think they are just easier to drive because of the suspension and low COG but hey im not saying a savage cant win haha ive seen them take the podiums a couple of times but usually its because all of the revos and other mts have broke!!!! But either way yull be happy 
and plus like another gentleman has said just put a shitload of rpm stuff on it itll never break haha

Have you had the chance to take a look at both trucks at the LHS.
If racing really is your thing perhaps you should take a look at the RC8Te.

IMO the main thing is the durability difference... Truggies and Buggies are as tough as nails and hold together on the tracks much better.... MT's break alot which really hurts the class.....

I didnt read to see if you had decided yet but I'll still add my $.2.
I'm going to stirr the hornets nest here and say that if you have the money and can take the time to build a truck an E-LST2 would out run and outlast both trucks. With its all metal tranny, alluminum diff cases, metal CVDS center, front, rear, and its huge shocks, its an unbeatable truck.
You can pick up an roller for $200. Add the MM 2200KV system, $70 for a motor mount, $40 for a single speed hub and your on your way. You will have a truck that will be a force to be recond with which neather of teh 2 truks you are trying to decide on can provide.
Before you hate analize the trucks. The 2 being debated here have eather 4 small caneteleverd shocks or 8 puny ones with straws for shock shafts on the Savage. The traxxas has all plastic drive shafts with those horrible yokes. The Savage has weak diffs and those ugly verticle plates which make it have a high center of gravity. The traxxas has a plastic chassis. With teh traxxas you are aslo paying for a radio that even though is 2.4 still used knobs for rate adjustments
.
I have a nitro LST2 and I'm working on a brushless one.
Check out these picts. Its not mine but you have to admit it looks awsome!

Losi you always kill me. I have been dreaming of building one of these forever. Right now between the mini mgt3.0 brushless and my 3.3 converted electric revo I have tons of big truck fun but I was looking hard into building one of those. Just never found the perfect deal. Very clean truck that guy has there, doesnt look like the 2200 in it though, looks kinda like a neu or something cant tell.
