I hope you mean break and not brake. ;) You can probably adjust the brake tension improperly on any to get that result.

The Revo is fast (40mph+), stable (low CG, F1-like suspension), and durable... but its not a kit and the Radio it comes with is teh suck.

Savage SS is fast (44mph and mega-torquey), durable, and its a kit. Lots of weight up high though, so a little less stable when it comes to handling prowess.

Savage = most durable
Revo = best racer
Mad Force= most likely to make you pull your hair out trying to find parts (factory and hop-ups)

Try towerhobbies.com there really good alot of ppl tlak bout the site on here, as for items to buy, i dont kno to much bout the mad force, but the savage and revo and tough trucks, i think the savage is tougher and better performance, but the revos low centre ground clearence makes it good for racing, and hpi has a never ending list for parts as well as the revo, not sure bout the mad force. It all comes down to wat u want to do race or bash around, but i think both trucks would do good in both catogories.
