Hey Guys
Have a interesting question for you all--
Which is a better car and WHY?
A) Traxxas Revo 3.3
B) HPI Savage 4.6 X
c) LOSI LST XXL
Do post you feedback ( btw all are nitro 1/8 scale models)
Also do keep in mind availability of the car and spares in LHS as a criteria..
My vote goes to the Revo 3.3. I've seen them in action and they rip!
whats gonna be ue application for these
80% bashing 20% racing
the advantage with the losi is that is has dual servos, amazing suspensions and the spektrum Tx with telemetry system.
then go for savage , u want the new or second hand
bashing-
1. losi lst xxl
2. savage
3. revo
racing
1. revo
2. lst xxl
3. savage
LXT all the way, fastest i clss engine, best RTR radio n shocks, Looks great, as durable as savage, as easy to control as revo
...and big as hell.. >:D
Guys, you must also mention the reasons why one is better than other.
My take - Racing: Revo > Savage > LST
Bashing - Savage > LST > Revo
Reasons: For racing, nothing comes close to Revo, lower GC, lightweight, peppy engine. For Bashing I say Savage because its all metal, higher GC, has very good 3rd party upgrades. Nice Torquey engine. LST is also great. Huge shocks, good GC etc. But Savage takes the cake.
In a straight line the savage and revo evenly matched, xxl is a bit quicker. Bashing wise, nothing comes close to the savage. Racing wise it is the revo (upgrades required).
So i agree with Ajo.
overall - savage > revo > losi
bashing - Savage > losi > revo
racing - revo > savage > losi
Buy what appeals to you the most. Check them all out in person and then take a decision

Exactly. When I wanted a MT, I wanted the Savage. But due to stock issues, chose the MTA4. Was done with it in few months.
Later when the MT bug bit me, I wanted a race MT than can be bashed. I had a choice of untouched LST for 20K. But the Revo was personal preference. I bashed and raced it. Even with a partly broken arm it ran flawlessly. It never let me down and still continues to run with someone else.
guys i have gone in for the Losi xxl... have ordered it from Dog bone racing. Will update you guys as soon as the shipment arrives.
Thanks for all the info as well.
Congrats jester... Do let us know when you get it. Maybe you can race it with the guys on backroad.
on a personal note, please keep your options open for electric and gasoline for hassle free and friendly performance
