Default RE: savage top speed?


ORIGINAL: rustler 1

well man, i have lots of titanium so it made my truck lighter and then i have bow ties that are way lighter than stock my truck weighed 9.somethin pounds untill i put my sh28 in it and now its about 11 pounds ok and the stock savage was geared 15, 52 and mine is in a low gear of 18, 48 and my truck pops wheelies like nothing. like i said i have never radaed it and my truck has lots of upgradesa nd none of them except the chassis braces are aluminum. I know that the mammoth was clocked at 52mph. i am about there and sometimes stay at the same speed ok so i know my truck goes WAY over 40mph to catch a 52mph truck. get a grip man.
You just said you never radared your truck, yet you CLAIM you have a Savage that "does way over 40 mph" . All the titanium bling in the world is not going to make a 33 mph Savage do "way over 40 mph". Finally if you had a 9lb Savage to begin with, adding an SH .28 is NOT going to add 2 pounds to a Savage. Oh yea, Bow Tie tires will not make your Savage faster, they will in fact slow it down because they have a smaller outside diameter. Sorry dude, but you have no clue what you are talking about as far as how to gain speed from a Savage.
