Default RE: savage top speed?


ORIGINAL: ART1

Oh yes, they all run fast until I put them on my Stalker and than come excuses for lack of speed. Moded RB .28 and 18/49 gearing runs 40-42 MPH but not even close to 50 MPH

Talk to anyone who has a Venom VSM, or posted up some REAL radar data they will all say Savages will do anywhere from low 30's to high 30's (A few master speed tuners have touched low 40's). Talk to all the "computer keyboard speed estimators" thier Savages amazingly all do 50 mph. I even read a link to some meatball selling his Savage on Ebay claiming it did 70 mph!!!! I did a ton of speed tinkering (different gearing, tires, engines and so on, the best I ever recorded was 38 mph with 17/49 gearing, Picco .26, THS pipe, road rash tires and chassis slammed. I am sure the speed has gone up a few mph's with the new mega cube engines. I posted my speed #'s when the .26's first came out.
