RE: Savage 25 in an LST
Come on now, the LST is a big truck.... but you're never going to fit a whole Savage 25 in there 
I know, you meant the Nitrostar .25 engine. Don't do it unless it's your only option, that engine is waaaay underpowered.

I think a stock savage with no wheels is heaver than an LST with no wheels. So I thinking it would not be that bad...

That engine is underpowered, but try it out and let us know.
2DMAXX posted his trucks weight in the LST forum and it was a tick over 10lbs. and that was with lightweight tires and maxx size wheels, carbon fiber chassis plates, FOC, and a slew of other racing parts.... My Savage LE weighed 10.5lbs completely stock. You could be right though, as I've never weighed either one of mine without the wheels on.

I think you'll find the stock NS.25 will be a dog in the LST. Heck, it's kind of a dog in the Savage.
I put a Mach.26 in my Savage and it's a completely different truck. Way, Way more power, response and top end.
But try it and see. I'd be intrested in knowing the results and I'm sure others would too.
