If you are just looking for a faster top speed then all that you need to do is change the gearing. You can do the same to make it puch hard off the line but, with less top end.

Gears are cheap. What are you looking for top speed or punch off the line??

Buy a new clutchbell with one to two teeth less. The Savage is 16 tooth stock right? Drop to a 14 and you will be amazed.

The Losi LST will have somewhat of a 4-speed gear box, It'll have 1st and 2nd speeds as well as a high/low range selector.
Maybe that's what you were refering to.

A tuned pipe (THS/RD Logix) might help. Get a cheap .26 (mach .26) same specs as the XTM 24.7 engine but cheaper.

Actually the current rate of exchange is .... let's see.... 1 euro = 1.23 USD (this is current), thank you very much GWB [:@] . The last two months the euro hit an all time high against the dollar. But at the moment your 300 Euros are worth about $370 US dollars.

Simple, go out buy a rope, tie it onto your savage then tie it onto your car. speeds may vary depending on the speed of the car
