Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / May 2006Replacements
Due to a recent tragedy (House Burnt down) Son and I are looking to replace our TOYS. Notice I emphasized toys. We don't race, we just go out find a field or some woods or something and play around. We had a pair of T-Maxx's, one was the 2.5, and a nitro stampede with an OS power plant. Insurance will pay to replace them, so we are looking for something we can beat the hell out of, with out a lot of tuning. Looking at the REVO, and the savage right now. Suggestions?

Both Revo and Savage are fine trucks that will take a lot of abuse. Savage X is a lot easier to work on that regular Savage, Revo is very easy to get to grips with but the Sav probably takes that little bit more abuse. Both are good choices though, it just comes down to which you can get spares for from a LHS easily if need be really. Actually, now I read back, Savage is more suited to serious terrain like the woods, as it sits higher, and has a better ground clearance.

Can't argue with the previous poster, but if you liked your T-Maxx's, Traxxas just updated the model with the more powerful 3.3 engine, a wheelie bar, and a much better transmission. There's something to be said for familiarity. SignatureJustin Mahn Both are readily available, however the local shop has a LOT of traxxas parts http://www.theworldofhobbies.com/ Gerry N Tyler >> Due to a recent tragedy (House Burnt down) Son and I are looking to >> replace our TOYS.

This being probably one of the most attractive features of all the trucks available to date. Cheers Richard |
