You need to get the new Revo for Broadband, you'll be able to drive up to 5 times faster than the leading competitor.

Looks the same? Remember folks, it's a redesign, it's supposed to look the same as before even though it's not. Otherwise it would be a different truck.

The shock towers, bulkheads are completely diferent. It's no longer attach in left/right pieces like before. This allows for easy diff access. Some needed for a long time in a savage. You all remember how much work it was for me to fix diffs at leisure...

That's a huge + for the savage in my book.

I like the diff acess on the new design. 6 or so screws and bam its out. Looks like trans is easier to access too.
