i am thinking of buying a revo 3.3 so headed to my lhs. the guy sells the revo 3.3 and the hpi savage x. he told me that the revo's engine is not as reliable as the savage x's and that it shuts down after 20 mins coz the engine gets too hot. is this true??
 
Only if you don't know how to tune it. Really, he's full of chit. The Traxxas mills can be a little finicky to tune but they are not unreliable and they have no problem running a 30 or 45 minute main.
 
Listen to Jet. He knows his chit. But ya its all in the tune of the motor.

I can tell ya that the 3.3 I had initially ran well. I don't believe I had it long enough to see the true power but I never had a problem starting it or running it for an hour.
 
Thats total BS!

My 3.3 ran great tank after tank and the temp never went over 255, the only thing I did to it was seal it.

I will say IMO the HPI mills have a larger sweet spot.
