Does the Savage come with reverse? I think thats an option you buy and install. I had the SS Savage, not sure about the RTR.

And think about working on them or tuning them...The revo is a dream come true, you could change out your diffs in about 20 min each, just an easy truck to work on. Ask Mr Tune on savage time. Probably around a week. :o And lets not forget about adjustible turnbuckles, adj. camber, caster, roll center, threded shocks, and all the cool tools they give you to adjust and maintain your new revo. Dont think you get any of that on a savage

If that dont sell you, noyhing will. And no I dont work for traxxas, just a regular big car mechanic.
