Default RE: savage top speed?

40 to 45????..........Naw man more like 30 to 35....and on a good day with perfect air temp and berametric preasure, down hill, with the wind maybe 38

Let's face it, the Savvy weighs like 11 or 12 lbs. bone stock

It's gonna take something like a Collari or Sirro .30 and gearing work to push 40. and then if you make the 40 or 40+ mark the weight of the truck will come into play again as soon as you try to turn it.

The Savvy is not a racer, just look at it, it's whole design concept is to be a big burlly loud punnisher that can handle everything you can dish out and ask for more, it's all about low end torque here.

Now look at a "raceing" style MT, everything is petite and light and they weigh like 1/3 less than a Savvy and some are even classified as 1/10 scale like the Traxxas T-Max, all small and light and jittery and high strung, all top end.

TORQUE RULES!!!!!
