any suggestions on which direction I should go? I am new to RC and have recently purchased an E REVO. I want a gas RC so to add to my collection. I want it to be almost bomb proof, easy as possible to work on and the capability to up grade if I decide to get into racing. One thought is to go with the Revo if suspension parts are inter changable. Any other suggestions?

Here is the big question. How much do you want to spend and what are planning on doing with it? Do you want a Monster truck, truggy or stadium truck.

I would suggest a Losi LST2 or if you don't want to spend that much you could get a aftershock. If you would like to check somethings out about those truck just check out www.lstforums.com

Y not stay in the revo family? If you already have the e revo then it would make sense to get a nitro revo and stock parts for one type of chassis.

Thats what I would do. I've had two revos, the original 2.5 and the 3.3 they are really easy to work on. I only broke once...

I have a closet full of Savages. I love to bash them and do insane jumps. They are very durable. It may not be an option if you decide to race though.

the suspension parts are interchangable in the revos and traxxas makes durrable products
