SS vs. 3.3
Hey,
My buddy just got a T-Maxx 3.3, and i'm thinking of getting a Savage SS. So i was wondering what can i do to a SS to beat the T-Maxx

SS 4.6. you mean right? Gear it as high as u can, is this off-road or on-road race. dont gear it high if this is off-road. Or just slap a big .32 and murder him.

a collari .32 and a 3-speed with 20/47 gearing will eat that poor little max. try for some 40 series tires (with 23mm hubs) to get some more speed with the larger diameter tires. but thats quite a bit of money

RE: SS vs. 3.3
no. i want a nice clean race, because when i raced him with my buggy the truck ran over a pot hole, but he was only going about 10mph, and it didn't mess him up that much. And i want to race him on-road

Well first i plan on getting all light weight gears and other tranny things, then i plan on getting a 3 speed and then the 7 inch wheels by CEN, do you think I could beat him with that setup.
