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.
