Dude, i think the CEN Racing 1/8 GST 7.7 with his monster 7.7cc engine, would eat up all of them by a good distance.

wrong it does not have the most powerful engine, maybe for the list yea, but its all low end rpm, then smaller .28s have higher rpm and would walk all over the gst, it would be lst2 savage mgt in that order as the fastest on that list,.

and the sad fact is tho its manufactured claim 5hp but in reality its only about 2hp high end .28s like a picco is in the 2hp range, and this was done on a dyno made for these engines.

Assuming all the above trucks are box stock, the Revo and LST 2 would be the top two quickest. The Revo would probably be the quickest overall due to it's smaller size and lower weight.

i vote revo 3.3 or lst2....if eveything is stock...it also depends on the terrain cause of the tires.... i think it would have to be done onroad so the tires grip better.... also it depends on the tune of the motor....if they all had a good tune it would be more fair, if ur racing a revo 3.3 with a perfect tune and a savage 4.6 with a terrible tune the revo would eat it...

yes but if you were racing a revo 3.3 with a terrible tune and a savage 4.6 with a perfect tune then the savage would "eat it"[&:]

I think the Savage with the K4.6 has a good chance. Even with as much as Savage's weigh, the 4.6 with the 3-speed to back it will make them scream.

Oh, my bad, then the LST-2 or Savage "F" 4.6 should bring in the trophy.[sm=lol.gif]

i think it would be a really close call between the Revo 3.3, LST2 and Savage F4.6.

I have raced the savage with k4.6(with my F4.6) and beat it.
Also raced a stock LST2 and won. but farely close race.
Have seen a k4.6 Savy beat a muggy (muggys are rather slow with just a single speed).
And i have played along side a Cen GST, but never raced it. It seems patheticaly slow though. Definetly not a good jumper, too heavy.
I have never seen a revo, but everyone seems to think they are very fast.
And have no idea about the MGT.

Oh btw he's talking about my lst2 with the axial 28rr which I have now learnt to hate....Hopefully when I put in my newly bought mach427 with the sportwerks carb on it I will win.[8D][8D]
