does it pop wheelies
Not on the road, but on grass it will sometimes lift up in the front. Problem, is that the centre of gravity is way too low...the Savage can pop wheelies a lot easier as its centre of gravity is higher.
My Savage is real low center of gravity and I have no problems popping wheelies on the grass. Matter of fact I have it in the HPI LCG chassis. Now on the track it is not near as easy but when racing I do not want to be popping wheelies. But yes I understand what you are saying and totally agree. Now with my TZ when I had the 14/ 52 I could not keep the front wheels of my MT on the ground. I am now geared at 15/47 on my MT and still if I hit it just right it comes up.
Your Savage looks almost like a truggy...must handle pretty good being that low to the ground. What about jumping? Can it still soak up the bumps...
I might try removing the preload spacers on mine, just to improve the handling. Ran it around my local track and kept on almost loosing it in the corners due to the high centre of gravity. However it the jumps, it was very impressive!
