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

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 ?

supertib...

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?

I understand that...I already own the axial and am happy with it but i'm thinking of donateing it to my other not so built up savage and getting a new motor for my flm extended savage

btw I only paid @ $116.00 for the axial threw www.stormerhobbies.com

nice web site topspeedtoys--sorry to hear about redcat guys giving you some crap about not carrying parts anymore...haven't touched my redcat since my wife bought me my savage le

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