My next project. 1/10 HPI MT2 big block and 2 speed convertion. Hopefully it will kick the ass of Finests' GT . LOL

Thanks tib !!
It was the long hose I temporarily connected to the pipe that make it sound like that....I'm just tired of cleanning the RR side, but I kinda like the sound of it though .LOL

stock plastic pipe

save some money and invest in the STS tuned pipe, you will notice a huge improvement in power..
as well your truck corners extremely well for a savage.... I suggest gearing down a little bit, as I noticed on some of your high speed corners your clutch was slipping pretty badly, you can hear the motor reving but the truck is stalled in a high G corner..Regardless i love the fact your videoing your truck, I live in Canada and its the middle of winter, -32 C right now....so i enjoy watching some videos, so keep up the good work...
what clutch and gearing are you running ?

I'm looking for a new motor (currently run a axial 28--pretty decent power-just want more)
What would be good gearing for a sts-30 with 3-spd? Would it be worth the $ to step up to the sts?

holy sh.t! that was a really hard break in. Almost no smoke too, no wonder you cooked your engine

even with a hard break in, stock plastic pipe and definite engine damage, that mill is still moving really well...

Yeah, and man am I glad it does! I have one, new in box and the STS pipe too just waiting to replace my Sirio 27 race as soon as it shows any signs of giving in I will take it far more easy on mine though
