I had a couple other people on the LST forums say they had done the same thing. Funny my savage with over 11 gallons on the transmission is still going great and never been opened up. Whatever it is i do, apparently my savage can handle it, but the losi couldnt?
Couple points: 1.) you've only ever had, what, an Axial 28 in your Savage? Yes, a Savage transmission will handle a stock RTR engine..(or it's twin, in the case of the older K4.6 and Axial 28) And 2.) "whatever it is you do" with your Savage is obviously not very much.. You don't jump or really bash from what I have seen. Put an LRP 30 or Picco 28, or even an LRP Spec 3 in your Savage, jump it some and let loose, then see how things go.
