Savage Flux HP vs. Brushless E-Revo
Just thinking to myself a little, but if I am to sell my current RC stuff and possibly upgrade, which is a better choice?
They both seem pretty awesome and I am already a fan of Traxxas.
One a lot better than the other? I would be using it more for racing than bashing. I don't really like tearing up my truck for no reason...
Any advice?
(either truck the brushless system one)
Thanks!
(try not to be to basis, haha)

By a lot?
They both cost about the same. The motors seem to put out the same. Revo does seem more "racey" by the center of gravity and ride height.
I just want to ask quick, is there any other options I should be looking at? Or are these basically the "big two?"

You already mentioned that you prefer racing than bashing. ERBE is your choice then. I owned the E-Revo before and I was just surprised on how much tuning you can do with that truck. I can really see that it is more race oriented. Just look at all the winnings of it's nitro counterpart. I always see the E-Revo more as a low slung truggy than a monster truck.
As for me, I don't race and I beat the h3ll out of my trucks. My FLUX just keep coming back for more.

I have a revo platinum and will agree that a savage is a tougher truck

Awesome, great input everyone!
Well I think the ERBE would be my choice if I get rid of my current stuff. Thanks guys

Another thing is that the E-REVO comes with 2.4ghz radio

Yes, everyones been abbrev it for a while...
One thing thats not been pointed out and its important with these hi perf BL systems is the weight diff between these two. The Flux weighs 11.8lbs and the ERBE weighs 9.5lbs, both of these are w/o lipos. That's why the Flux is more touchy about lipos - more amps are needed to get that extra weight moving and if they're not there, you're eventually going to have probs.
One radio or the other didn't factor into my decision to get the Flux. Mine's been trouble free, sweet and a blast to drive.

Are the Savage Diffs filled with diff fluid or grease? Pretty sure the revo diffs have diff fluid
