I hated the layout, the shock setup is gimmicky at best, if it were so good it would have been used already or now by others. It's extremely difficult to work on compared to ANYTHING else out there. It is god awful ugly. The layout is not clean and jumbled. It isn't as durable as some ppl try to claim, I really wonder what some call 'bashing'. Stock it is underpowered for anything but racing (the nitro). The body is disgusting on both versions.
Part of it is fabrication cost and R&D for a chassis that can be set up for on-board shocks capable of that amount of articulation. IMO, the Revo is just a well-engineered piece of machinery and not a lot of companies can support the start up cost for a design like that that actually functions well, IMO.
Don't get me wrong, it is not perfect, but in terms of all around ability for a MT, I think it's the best MT out today, at least by a hair.
I'm about to pick up a Savage Flux myself. I don't think the 3905 is in the same league as the Savage or the Revo though, and that is ultimately the answer to his question.
