Well A truck is truck is a truck. I bet most good drivers with any truck can beat any other driver with ther truck. Our track has numerous drivers with 4 or more trucks and can trake any of them at any time and compete with drivers on the same skill leval. To many times skill is confused with what truck you drive as an excuse for not being competitive.
I do know that racing on any track that racing against like skill leval drivers is more fun for all racers. So we arrange heats this way, not by whaqt you drive[or cant]. No excuses. Racing is fun. Jeff

Ok, Thanks!
In my local track the monster truck race is opon for LST , Savage, T-maxx, Revo, Truggys....
The Lightning is good and the best buy for the price, i like the Revo too , but is so plastic and maybe in the future the most expensive truck
thanks

I haven't had any major problems with my Revo .. I assuming you haven't seen a Revo up close.
I haven't seen a single post of a twisted plastic driveshaft, a few people with diff problems, a few people with 2-speed problems (Not shifting), and a few people with blown reverse gears. The main thing is stretched shock ends. Not to mention Traxxas' customer service is top notch.
Don't forget: Anything is going to break if you can't drive.
Here's my current Revo setup:
- Removed the bumpers, roll bar, tranny guard, EZ-Start, single steering servo, micro servo, optidrive, left servo box.
- Traxxas P2 Rockers.
- Traxxas 3.5 Green / 4.1 Tan Springs
- Traxxas 2-Speed Close Ratio
- Temporary FOC. (Waiting on Traxxas to release their's)
- JR Z8800T Steering (188oz, .15sec)
- Pro-Line Crowd Pleazer Body
- Pro-Line 40 Series Dish + Bow Ties (Waiting on Traxxas Hurricanes / Response Tires)
- Pro-Line Aluminum Hexes
- Dynamite Failsafe
- #5343 Modified
Like I mentioned above, the only thing I've had problems is stretched shock ends (Only the rear). I'll probably be picking up RD Racing Aluminum ends soon.

Back to the post.
For a short track, I would go with the Revo. The Lightning Stadium is more for a 1/8 offroad huge track. Since you have a smaller track, a .21 will give you more driving problems (Due to it's power on a small track) and the Revo's size will be an advantage for you.

I don't say the revo is bad, the problem is what the revo have many critical parts like plastic CVD, plastic diff gears, 2 speed, reverse....i say that, beacause in the race day the most important is never broke . Traxxas need work in true pro chassis, the racing version of Revo).

The Revo has been doing extremely well in all levels of racing. I think you don't have any idea what you're talking about. A top level Kyosho 777 is a completley different product for a completely different type of racing. Serpent??? They make onroad products... 
If you'd actually say one intelligent thing it wouldn't be so bad but you're comparing apples to oranges and it's pretty ridiculous. If it's a language barrier or a culture thing I can understand your confusion.
