Default RE: 46.conversion kit?

ORIGINAL: ericheller

oh ok i see. i dont think it would work for a gt if thats what you mean, because the savage is ment for a big block, and the .46 would be even bigger. a .46 would have alot more low end torque than a small block such as the one on your gt, but you would really have to change the gearing to achieve the same top speed. im guessing that it wouldnt be possible to gear it to do over 30mph with a .46
Eric, you may be right about the gearing, it is a low RPM motor. It is form the truckzilla kit. 4.8 hp and it burns 2-stroke glow fuel; it is a 2 stroke.... To help offset the lower than stock RPMs the kit comes with mega-huge tires which add a bit more back on the top.

I am surprised a mod hasn't moved this yet.
