we go by mph here in the us what does that translate too???

3D_star

it translates to 140 mph

trust me i race savage indoors there fast as hell fasts rc in the workld

Crf250ed

heh. 40.

3D_star

no your wrong its 140 mph i sware myne did it yesterday

colindecon

i think u converted the kph/mph backwards

100kph= around 60mph i think

3D_star

no your wrong
you add 40 to what ever to conver to MPH
im an expert i have a PHD in math

camtheman000

how much slower is that than mosts of the others????

sarpiparpi

it doesnt really have a max speed, it depends on the weather, and how u tune it, and ur components

Why does top speed matter? They speed can be adjusted with different size clutch bells, and spur gears. Like a 52 tooth spur gear with a 18 tooth clutch bell would probably hit speeds over 40mph.

The LST is faster than the Savage though

18/52 is an imposible combo for any savage without mod, you could not possibly mount the engine on.

40+mph yeah right try mid 30's and the LST faster than a savage I find hard to believe since most MT's claim 40 I think they all are around the same speed

Nope, I have both a Savage 25 and an LST and the stock LST is lots faster than the stock Savage. It's not even a close race.

I have to agree here as I too have them and the stock LST is every bit as fast as my savage and it has a .28 with the 3 speed. It might not accelerate as fast, but on the top end the LST is there. In a drag race the Savy wins, but going side by side, holding back on the Savy, the LST is just as fast. Top speed of a stock savy is about 32-35mph. Add another 3-4 for the 3speed, and that's running a 15/49 gearing.

one question why is everyone looking for top speed on a savage MONSTER TRUCK that is built for beating the crap out of not racing?

XtmSucks

your gearing is why. Deppending on the .28 motor. With a 3speed and a good tune aswell as pipe....your gearing should be atleast 17/47. A savage with a ribbed pipe/alloy clutch/STS.28 and a good tuen will hit mid 40s. All companys lie when it comes to speed because every little boy is going to pick which one says it can go faster.

LST is also lighter then the savage to isnt it?

It's kinda funny reading all the top speed posts over the years on this board. When the Savage was fairly new, the riduculous high 40+ mph claims were rampant (even severall donkeys claiming 50 mph)! Now as time goes by, the idiot liars seem to hev gone away, and now I read more and more "credible" believable posts. From my honest experiences a stock Savage 25 will pull about 33 mph. A 4.6 will pull about 37 mph, and I have witnessed expertly speed tweaked LIGHTENED savages radaring mid 40's mph. I GPS'd 38 mph with My Picco .26 and 17/49 gearing, and Road Rage tires. That was plenty fast enough for a MT that handles like a shopping cart loaded with bowling balls.

Yeah I think that when the Savage was designed.......Top speed wasn't realy that high on the priority list, seems to me that HPI built the Savage for torque and let the speed work it's self out.

which savage would you recomend for backyard smash 'n' bash? the more i read up on t-maxx, the less i want it to be my first nitro MT...

No , the LST is heavier than the Savage.

LST 13 lbs , Savage 11 lbs
